F-101 and B-58 would be nice, but the F-100 is a sexy aircraft. BTW the B-58 would be a paved only runway with those long and spindly landing gear.Originally posted by hotdogx View PostEvoman,
F-100 would be OK I guess. With that small intake they'd need a cheater intake for sure! I'm not fond of cheaters because they like to suck up grass clippings after our runway has been mowed. When that happens, the cheater grill gets partially covered, the thrust drops, and the darned jet won't take off. Also makes a mess on the LE of the fan blades with the cuttings that make it through the grill.
I'm afraid I'm in the minority when it comes to my favorite jets, which are Korean War and Cold War jets - F9F Cougar; F-86 Sabre; F4D Skyray; F-106 Delta Dart; F-101 Voodoo; and B-58 Hustler.

If I were a betting man, considering that MRC was going to announce project Foil at Nall, and assuming whatever the plane is already on the water, I’d bet that it is announced and debuted at Jet Jam. That’s only a few weeks away and Pilot Ryan and Captain Mike are scheduled to be there. Heck, I’m going !

I'm a life long aviation junkie, been a real life pilot for many years, my great uncle's pilot license was signed by. "Orville Wright". I honestly have never heard of a B-58?? Let alone it was made by Convair, I'm kinda of a Convair 440, and 580 fan. I've never seen that plane before, but I can say hands down that is one cool plane.
Best Regards

I'm still with some others here, I'll stick with the, "Saber Jet". Yea a foil is a fencing weapon, but I tend to think of Foil as Aluminum Foil, IE all metallic surface. IE Saber Jet.Originally posted by Boots Whirlygig View PostT-39 Sabreliner? After all, they did ask if there’s interest in an airliner! :Confused:
On another note, a "Saber Liner", is not an airliner, it was/is a VIP Jet. I would probably spring for one of these, as I use to ride in one occasionally. I never thought the Saber Liner was a particularly good looking jet, but it had one advantage. It was seriously built like a flying tank. It was capable of flying thru some bad weather, that other VIP transports wouldn't dare try. For that and many other reasons it was a desired jet, It's my opinion the same vintage jets that won out in the looks department were the, "Gulfstream Jets", and the, "Lockheed Jetstar". I'd like to see models of both of those, Jetstar might be hard to do. In my opinion though, nether would be as popular as a nice Lockheed Super Constellation. If you want to get the industries and customers attention build a Super Constellation. Everything else I mentioned here is just a cult classic.

Again, don't get caught up in just one release...Jet Jam should be fun, NEFI could be fun, Nall in the Fall could be fun, random days in June, July, August, September, October, November and December could also be fun...Originally posted by Boots Whirlygig View PostOne month from now I’ll get to see the FOIL at NEFI. It’s pretty impressive that these projects aren’t leaked out! Seems like a year since Aros announced it but it’s just a couple months. Oh the anticipation!!! The suspense!!
Yeah, the big reveal will probably be Jet Jam. What is it???
