What is this aircraft??? **UPDATED** Now with answer!

[Murpheeee]

There is a local air show coming up and they are having a competition for a pair of free tix.

You have to guess what this aircraft is.

I thought there were a lot of aviation dudes here on AT.....any guesses?

 

[aphex]

F 18 Hornet?

 

[StageLeft]

NOD attack jet

 

[XMan]

Almost looks like an F-20 Tigershark.

 

[hoihtah]

that ain't no aircraft.

that's called out of focus.

 

[AmigaMan]

wings are too big it'd seem for a f20. Might be a su27

 

[NorthRiver]

I don't belive it is american.

 

[Beau]

Looks like a mig-28 (top gun terminology) / F5 Tiger II

Edit: It's not one, the tail fin cuts straight down on the back, rather than angled out. But it definitely has twin low profile jet ducts and fixed wings.

 

[MrDingleDangle]

does anyone have those pictures of the canadian military? the army, navy and airforce?

haha i dont know why ithought of that

 

[Spoooon]

F-111 maybe?

edit: pics

 

[Beau]

Don't think so. That pic looks like the fuelselage is resting on the wings, not suspended from them like the F-111

 

[Beau]

I changed my mind... I believe it is the F5 Tiger II

Or a T-38 Talon

 

[aphex]

I like how none of us can agree.

 

[notfred]

elevator's snot shaped right for an F-111

It's not a F-18, not an SU-27. They have twin vertical stabilizers, and the F-20 is a single engine jet.

F-5 is the best I can think of, too, but the tail doesn't look quite right, as was mentioned, but it's hard to tell from that picture.

 

[aphex]

After lookin at the pix, id have to agree on the F-5

[hoihtah]

can we at least all agree that it's not manufacturered in FIJI?


at least that much?

 

[Tiger]

I think it's a Panavia Tornado.

Couldn't be, elevators are too far back and the wings/elevators are swept.

Edit: Pics of the Tornado

 

[m2kewl]

F5 Tigershark

my guess

 

[ThePresence]

Anyone bored enough can search through these images.

No such thing.

There is an F5 Tiger and an F20 Tigershark. The pic shows twin tail engines, the Tigershark is a single.

 

[ElFenix]

its obviously a sopwith camel.

 

[Murpheeee]

Hmmm......the nose looks too rounded to be a F5 Tiger .....the rest of the plane looks like one though

maybe its just the angle thats distorting it though.......
