Never saw much from this one.

>>64195004 (OP)
I have some F-105 photos.

>>64196626
I just think they are neat.

>>64195310
Because the US thought seaplanes were icky after WWII.

The B-52 prototype cockpit is very aesthetic, but I do think it's almost too "space age".

The early Navy jets were very interesting designs.

>>64197138
Looks like my latest ksp creation

>>64195004 (OP)
The best era for jet designs, before everyone figured out the best shapes and planes became missile trucks.

First flew in 1978.

>>64201774
Why didn’t they keep it that way, navy requirements?

>>64201785
That's the YF-17.
(at the time, the F-18 program did not exist yet)
After losing the LWF to General Dynamics in 1974, Northrop was marketing the YF-17 in many different non-USAF ways including to other countries during 1975-78

>>64201550
Which one of them is the most capable/versatile airplane?

JATO bottles.
Like if you agree.

>>64199655
Multinational roundels are a severely underrated aesthetic.

Some of the pics posted here is just pure pornography.

>>64201973
Mirage iii had the most variety of roles, and the longest carrer (still in service).

Mirage, no contest

>>64207253
Like this one?

>>64209342
yes, yes

>>64209807
It's amazing if you look at it the F-14 wouldn't strike many as an aircraft that entered service in the 70's but as a product of the 80's.

>>64209809
>product of the 80's
the movie, yes it was
F-14 had already been in operational service for more than a decade (when viewers of that box-office-hit movie were suddenly "informed of" its existence)

A better movie that came out in year 1980, five years prior to "that movie" was 'The Final Countdown' as a film-cinema legacy tribute to the F-14; lots of kino flight deck and aerial footage there

Yo, listen up here's a story
About a little aircraft
That lives in a [Restricted Area]
And all day and all night
And everything he sees is just [Photography is prohibited]
Like him inside and [Use of deadly force is authorized]

With no window
And a [Redacted]
And everything is [TS-SAP] for him
And himself and everybody around

I've been chewing on this idea for some time. In your opinion, what should the starter plane(s) for such a game be and why?

>>64216962
I am surprised he is able to post such pornography on this board?
>>64216466
So basically Area 88 the vidya?

You'd need to start early as hell, but sabre just seems too early. I think super sabre is about right and eventually you get to f15s just dominating the skies.

Imagine this had become the dominant technology… where do stores go? Do you carry bombs on top of the wings and roll inverted to bomb stuff?
