Is it a bird? Is it a super bird?

I guess we will find out soon. The week is almost over :)

Magnitude 3 LLC, you can probably get further in the Spectrum download by taking a screwdriver and adjusting the magnetic tape head of the player, that's how it was done back then ;)

 

Dang, didn't factor the significance of that. Maybe I spoke too soon.

 

Hmmm... if it's a direct hint to a playable aircraft in one of the games that was available for it, the list is:

 

Avro Lancaster

Bell X-1

Boeing AH-64 Apache

British Aerospace Sea Harrier

Cessna 172

Curtiss P-40

Douglas X-3 Stiletto

General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon

Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird

McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle

McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet

North American P-51 Mustang

Piper PA-28 Cherokee

Sopwith Camel

SPAD S.XIII

Supermarine Spitfire

 

The F-16 and Sea Harrier fit the 1970's bill, since we already have the Spitfire, Eagle and the P-40 and Hornet are on the way. I can't imagine them making anything else on that list.

 

The SR-71 is a "super bird" and would fit with the reconnaissance photo teaser. It set the record for fastest air-breathing manned aircraft since 1976. So maybe that fits in a way. That would certainly be a shock.

 

My soul for a Lancaster! :bounce:

Nah... the most use of the word disappointed/similar is in the VEAO Hawk threads unfortunately...

You can add : Most time someone has tried to steer it off-topic.

 

Damn... I just added to the count :D

The anticipation is killing me!

What else is there to do in a thread as ridiculous as this one :music_whistling:

[Wacko_ZA]

this is getting so funny!

Its absolutely hilarious to see how people get all worked up, and allow themselves to be trolled!

Damn we the human race are so gullible.

Obvious troll is obvious

[Pasquale1986]

Lads, this thread is amazing :D thank you for this supposedly endless entertainment :D

[QuiGon]

It's supposed to end this week, maybe even today ;)

c'mon that's rude :lol:

[Sarraceno]

I really want to see this finally revealed.... if only to see reactions :D

[Dudikoff]

When I saw their logo, it reminded me of the MiG-29 OVT demonstrator and the big red star on its back, but I can't fit a MiG-29 anywhere on that Spectrum picture.

 

So, looking from the looming perspective of the Christen Eagle II (or any other bi-plane), I retract everything bad I've said about the G-4 being just another trainer :) Hey, at least it has 65B's and BL755's. That beats smoke generators in my book any day of the week.

Can't argue with that :D

I guess trainers are indeed not the end of the world (but not far from it) :P

Mag 3 guys, please wipe that disgusting grin off your faces and pm me the answer, I won't tell anybody.

[Absha]

Hey, now you're talking about it, it's an helluva commercial strategy. You hint the community toward an ultra-light, then bam, it's a Cessna Caravan with Hellfires.

Curious thing, didn' t knew about this one
