Guess this!


is all yours Mike

[SAS~Storebror]

Eurofighter Upgrade?

[Graeme]

Really good call on the Finnish light plane from the previous page.

The MiG above - the STOL MiG-23 PD?

[DHumphrey]

or it could be the: MiG-23-01 "Faithless"

[locopiston]

Congratulations to all!

I have a problem here...
For me, STOL MiG-23 PD or MiG-23-01 "faitless" are the same plane...
I can be wrong But I'm going to give it to Graeme who said it first. We will see if Dhumphrey complains and we learn from the debate.

Mike; The classic answer could also have been valid since its dorsal hatch for the STOL is the same that was later developed in the VTOL for Yak-141 to later become that chubby and gray sparrow that we all know.

You turn Graeme!

No worries locopistion, if it's the same plane, I agree it's Graeme's turn. 

[Graeme]

Cheers for that!

A nose...

[locopiston]

look so cheap.
twing? jet? or scary glider?

[Graeme]

Yeah, a jet homebuilt - only one built.
Powered by one General Electric J-85.
From the US of A.

Is there a reason we can't see the aft end?  Is this a new build or a conversion of something?

[Graeme]

Is there a reason we can't see the aft end?

Yes, I'm attempting to avoid showing the N registration. 

 

Is this a new build or a conversion of something?

It was a new build way back then (1979) but it incorporated parts from a Mooney light aircraft, Learjet and a Ryan drone...

                                                           

[vonofterdingen]

I will never doubt the courage of the pilot that flew that plane.
