      Well July is upon us and looking at the Alpha clues what is the plane.
      1. Foil = EDF
      2. Hoot = Fast, Foil = Faster
      3. History:
        1. Military Campaigns, Projects,
        2. Alphas prior hints / clue’s, pattern
      4. Cloud Atlas:
        1. A story: consists of six nested stories, whereof each is read (or observed) by a main character of the next. The first five stories are each interrupted at a pivotal moment. After the sixth story, the other five stories are closed, in reverse chronological order, and each ends with the main character reading or observing the chronologically previous work in the chain. Each story contains a document, movie, or tradition that appears in a previous story. "Reincarnation"
      5. Ozymandias:
        1. A poem that describes a broken statue of a legendary king of ancient times, lying forgotten in the desert, with these words carved on its base: “My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
        2. An ancient Greek name for Ramses II of Egypt
        3. The poem Ozymandias is ironic as it mocks the “King of Kings”. What was once great is now in shambles. (Man’s Hubris)
      6. Foil:
        1. To prevent (something considered wrong or undesirable) from succeeding. (Na..)
        2. The track or scent of a hunted animal. (Maybe - Radar tracking?.)
        3. A light fencing sword without cutting edges but with a button on its point. ( a Saber, Na to obvious….)
        4. In fiction, a foil is a character who contrasts with another character— to highlight particular qualities of the other character. In some cases, a subplot can be used as a foil to the main plot. (na…)
        5. Math’s “foil” method? (Na…)
      So, it is Historic, Fast, spawned many generations, great plane but now lies in the desert and was used to stop other planes.

      can that plane be a revamped intruder???

            I think it will be an F-18. Probably a 'G' model.

                Don't tease me Wolpe. I've been dreaming of a larger A-6 to represent my squadrons livery.
                One of the Motion owners was with A-6's ;)so maybe..............
                ps...nice summary breakdown on your rationale for the guess:Cool:

                  Thanks OV10.

                  We all know that Alpha is a tease. :);):Cool:.

                  Me personally I would love an F9F Cougar, F9F Panther; heck even a new F86 in a 90mm EDF. I do like the idea of Motion being global as I think that will sweeten the pot with planes. (1600mm Stuka ?)

                    I will continue to shill for the MiG-19. I bet it is that given it's war record and the fact that the CCCP collapsed. It is an evolution of aircraft from the MiG-15 with just graded differences between the three in the series (an evolutionary design). It was definitely a foil to the F-4 as was the MiG-15 to the Sabre. I do not know if I am right. It is fun guessing. That said; I would prefer a MiG-25 or an F-84. I would still buy a MiG -15, 17, or 19 if it were offered as I like those planes as well.

                    I could also make the case for the MiG 25 for the same reasons. One thing sticks out in my mind how US forces found at least one MiG-25 buried in the desert of Iraq. Also: It was high altitude bird just shy of the S-71 in speed (cloud atlas perhaps where atlas is the mythical figure?). Summer breeze clue could also refer to desert heat maybe.

                          Something like a MIG-25 would have to be twin 90mm to do it right.

                              Maybe they would go back to an experiment that turned into a trainer...

                                          I’m convinced that was disseminated misinformation...
