Almost certainly the case me thinks.

Phantoms!

It's good fun trying to create a Scottish roundel and, who knows, someone might be doing it for real in the not too distant future.

In case you hadn't noticed you are in the 'what if' section.

I love that film!

Your Aussie F-4's are amazing! Just check the orientation of your 'roos. I have trouble with them but I think the rule goes something like both fuselage roundels should face forward whilst all wing roundels should also face forward but with the legs bouncing off the fuselage!

Aerobatics!

Mario - man, you're in a hot run of form at the moment! Regarding 'Buzz' numbers the most obvious omission from that list is that 'FJ' was used on the F-4 Phantom (see pics of the borrowed F-4B's but it was seen on the early F-4C's and even the RF-4C's too).

Republic B-59C Raven - United States Air Force, 1960 From combat experience gained during the opening months of the Korean War the USAF issued a requirement for a night intruder/bomber to replace the A-26 Invader with the English Electric Canberra being declared the winner despite the presence of the futuristic-looking Martin XB-51. Fortunately for the Martin company they were selected to licence-build the British aircraft as the B-57 Canberra but, such was the pace of military aviation in the 1950's, even before the ink had dried on the B-57 contract the USAF were already drafting a requirement for a larger supersonic replacement. Martin proposed both a scaled-up B-51 and also an enlarged swept wing version of the B-57 but ultimately lost out to Republic's proposal for a sharply swept-wing aircraft with low drag promising excellent transonic performance and a supersonic dash capability with a much larger payload than any other competing design. The Republic Raven was duly selected for production as the B-59 in December 1953 but soon hit powerplant problems when the planned Westinghouse J50 turbojet was cancelled as a fallout from the J40 fiasco. Pratt & Whitney were drafted in to produce the twin-spool, axial flow J59 derived from their outstanding J57 but the delay cost the program dearly and delayed the prototype YB-59 taking to the air by almost two years. By the time that production B-59A's started to roll off the Farmingdale production line in 1957 the USAF's total order had been cut to just one-third of the planned 600 Ravens and the type was retired from service in 1964 playing no part in the Vietnam War.

@ Coupi - stop using real photographs ; )
