    The UK needs

    The way i see it the UK needs to keep up with the rest of the world in fighter aitcraft and i suppose this is how they intend to do it the fact that the aircraft is pretty much all computers means it may be cheaper to train the pilots or somthing but lets face it the US didn’t go oohhh no the f-22 rapter is to expensive, they stuck to it and perfected the aircraft so the way i see it you should all stop whinging because the typhoon is more than likly here to stay and if history teaches us anythinf its that the typhoon will probably be redesigned to carry more bombs or missiles it depends on what the airforce needs them for personnally i think the aircraft is amazing the technology and effort they’ve put into making it just confirms why they should keep it they havent even put it into a battle situation yet, and its geting this sort of criticism what hope does your countrys military designers have evrything they come up with is to expensive or a waste of time i say build a bridge and get over it,like the motto says

    nothing comes close

    north american f-28 twin mustang

    it was originally the p-28 but was changed to the f-28 (i think it was changed after the test flights to f-28) im pretty sure it had another varient which served in alaska using winterized colours im not 100% sure though but in short it is the f-28 hope that awnsered your question fully

    twin engined mustang

    This picture your all debateing over may be a fake, but there was a simmilar varient of the p-51 mustang called the f-28 (originally p-28) twin mustang it housed 2 pilots and a navigater and believe it or not was a very effective fighter.In the korean war the first 3 north korean aircraft destoyed the US were shot down by all-weather f-28g intercepters.
    The idea behind the design was that on long-range bomber escorts the pilots could in a way take shifts/turns to fly the aircraft therefore reducing fatigue during these missions.
    The f-28 was a longrange highly effective bomber escort/fighter and has quite an impressive history its a pitty that so few people know about it.
