Damn, the English writing threw me. I am going to bed myself... One of the places I looked had an ongoing thread of over 4 years (10000+ posts) of nothing but cockpits... ACK!!! I'll wake up in 8 hours or so and see what someone else has posted, tell my wife I'm doing "job research", and bang my head figuring out the mystery. Night. -

I just spent the last 18 hours looking through THOUSANDS of pages... I want to hurt you ;) New best guess... McDonald Voodoo variant..? The closest I can come is Notice the small black behind gray engine gauges while all the rest are black on gray. This seems to be a trend with McDonald fighters. Also, small gyro located over the radar display. -

ARGH!! I give up for now.. too much to do :) This is what I have so far: 1. Likely 2nd or early 3rd gen (radar and threat display only sign of electronics) 2. twin engined (dual gauges and throttles) 3. western (English writing "range dial" & "friction") & black instruments on gray background 4. very skinny (where the pilot is at least) The closest I can think of is a F-5 variant. -
Altitude difference plays a bigger role. A missile that can receive mid-course corrections can fly an longer, arching profile...while a missile that must fly straight has less range.

That's why I like the JDRADM concept... MRAAM sized motor with an IIR (and RF) SRAAM seeker :)

No always.. IIRC, the UK was working on a AAM a while back that used puffer jets to get the missile pointed in the right direction before the main rocket kicked in. ---edit My bad.. It's called the CAMM and it is a SAM http://defense-update.com/products/c/camm.html odd.. I feel a Dr. Seuss rhyme coming on :)

I have to leave for a couple of hours... So, if you KNOW you have it, feel free to post a new one. Next Clue... In the above clue, only the wings and tail from the prop plane were used in the design of the jet. -

So did I until I zoomed in to the flag on the tail. After comparing it to the combat history of the P-51, it made sense. -
