Is it a bird? Is it a super bird?

[Dudikoff]

I don't think that M3 is gonna make a 29 since it is already part of the flaming cliffs series and ED plans to make a PFM for it already.

 

Well, the PFM can be shared with ED or vice-versa. Not sure if Dolphin has actual experience flying the MiG-29 9.12B, but he should have access to it so the M3 module of the 29 would make sense in that regard.

OMG that’s Post Nr. 420

I bet the hints have been purposefully built to create a massive anticipation for something like the SuperGaleb (to make people think this is going to be a flop) and then they pull the ultimate ace out of their pockets.

 

Dolphin must literally be laughing his lungs out at this thread :D

Hope so...

Very likely... :D

Or they are massively panicking now, because this thing went way over their heads and now they need to figure out how they get out of it with their Super Galeb or Christen Eagle :D

I've searched for it, and another plane could be the An-2. I've found perfectly fitting An-2 silhouette over the image, it's a military plane, 1977 was the year some An-2 did an airbridge to Mongolia, it is aerobatic certified (it even has no stall speed ...) and it could do some recon.

It was used as a light ground attack plane, dumping improvised bombs in the 1990s. :)

In before closing.

An-32. Prototype was shown at Paris airshow in 1977. Doesnt fit anything else, well, it might have fasteners. And its something quite different.

This shows how the developers feel right now because their bird is the word :lol:

Interesting, since the airmen flying the WW2 supply runs from India to western China and Burma called the perilous trip over the mountains 'the hump' as well.

an-2 would be good, at least better than a trainer

[DZShizzam]

Oh my goodness. The number of people here and on the subreddit saying "IT HAS RIVETS [insert module] CONFIRMED" lol.

 

Just about every plane has rivets.

[Wissam24]

Hell even the F-22 Raptor has rivets

Indeed, it can also be used for crop dusting. :D

I think I know what it is. MiG-25 Foxbat.

 

It was introduced in 1970, there was a film in 1977 called Foxbat... Is it a bird? no no no... Is it a bat? and a fox? I THINK THIS MIGHT BE IT!

 

 

Edit: The hint with the picture of the airfield. The MiG-25RB had cameras installed https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a9/MiG-25RB_cams.jpg
