iranian modified northrop f-5f. I still call B.S. since what I can find on the web has the Iranians both claiming it's an indigenous airplane and claiming it is on par with the F-18. If they have it at all it's probably worse than an F-5. there are pictures and videos of it flying and the photo i posted is legit. Oh, I believe you. I'm calling B.S. on the Iranians and their claims now. they modified existing aircraft that we sold them. they bought f-5 variants from 1965 into 1976. I think what he is getting at is the outrageous claims the Iranian propaganda department spews forth regarding capability. They claimed their twin tailed F-5 was an "F-22 beater" performance-wise.

I find the most interesting thing about that aircraft is they've seemingly actually produced some, unlike any of their Arab neighbors. |

What is it? The markings (roundels and fin flash) say it's Spanish. ETA: It's this but I still don't know what this is... 
ETA: Got it - "Hispano Ha-200 Saeta" advance jet trainer. ETA: Actually, I think the one in the pic a few posts up is the "Ha-220 Super Saeta." |

How about the AT-10 Wichita, a twin engine trainer used in WWII. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beechcraft_AT-10_Wichita The former army airbase in my hometown was one of the major users of this aircraft.  Attached FileBlackburn Kangaroo. I think it was the only aircraft to sink a German sub in WW1

Yokosuka R2Y Keiun
Reminds me of the Fisher F-75A Eagle. Both used mid-mounted, coupled engines to drive a prop via a shaft.

Marked "XF-120" for the 1956 movie "Toward the Unknown." Beautiful plane; designed as an attack bomber to take the place of the A-26. Couple of clearer pics: _061026-F-1234S-005.jpg)

No offense at all intended to the aeronautical engineers back then. They were still pioneering a lot of the field of actual aerodynamics and flew a lot of different designs to see what worked and what didn't. Now we do a lot of this stuff in a computer well before metal is cut. |
