Hi guys,
Do you know if there is any plan for future jet aircraft? Some ideas:
- F-15
- Mig 29
- Rafale
- Super Etendard Modernisé
- Mirage 2000B, D or N (two-seater version of Mirage 2000)
I'm really excited to hear about new project(s)
Maybe the Super Etendard could be the easiest one to make in the upward list:
