BluBear Posted November 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Well that would mean, it certainly isn't an F-16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted November 14, 2015 2. Administrators Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 I was thinking much the same thing Chris! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum DD_Fenrir Posted November 14, 2015 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 You're right! It's not an F-16. Tee hee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweper Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 The closest guess right now is the Japanese Mitsubishi F-2? Maybe not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted November 15, 2015 2. Administrators Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 I don't think it's an f-2 either. We had that in the early stages of this thread and I'd wager that Tom is aware of that. The other reason that I'm doubtful is that the f-16/f-2 has a series of small strakes on the top of the fuselage just aft of the radome. They are not in evidence in this pic. I could be wrong...

Sweper Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Agree Jabo but Fen is a sneaky bastong and when I wasn't 100% convinced because of the shape of the nose, it was the only one out there I could fine. So I stumbled over this. Look at the backgorund. Edit: one more similar background Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted November 15, 2015 2. Administrators Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 But this isn't an f-2 or f-16 - in fact I'm not sure what it is but whatever it is you might have the right aircraft (incidentally I know the dark grey one is an f-16) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk.

Sweper Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 You are right Jabo. Those above are F-16s I think. Now I am a bit confused. What the heck was I searching when I spotted those pic's? Gaahh..! Edit: I think I found it! It is a AIDC F-CK-1A. One of them IS a F-16, the other one is a IDF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD_Bongodriver Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 You'd think I could have got that one given my current links with Lydd which is where Silver city operated from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
