While not instantaneous, it is damn fast!!

Hardly.... The 120 has never stood still. It is finalizing the 120-D testing as we speak and they are still working on improvements for later blocks. ATK, the maker of the 120's motor, has recently been given a contract for a new motor. One of the planned upgrades is a "dual pulse" mode. This means that the motor can be restarted at the endgame to ensure full thrust, not just coasting, when it is near the target. This, combined with the 120D's improved datalinks, will enable a very long range, high apogee, arching shot with full thrust at the end.

The stabilizing floats are retractable, not typical Russian.

Yes, the K-12.. see, he did not need a photo ;) You're up significant.

I have been able to only find one photo.... I will post it tomorrow if nobody gets it as a new clue.

Bingo mvsgas... good job on the ID, tail number, and history.

Yes.. F-5, but the main question is "What distinction".

Right plane (a P-38, not the Italian one, note German markings), wrong distinction. Remember, no other plane shared this distinction.

Ok, now this should be fun.... The aircraft is obvious, but the history is not. Here is the question: What distinction does this fighter have that NO OTHER aircraft shares for World War 2?
