IAF Migs

and the IAF Migs.
An ex-Syrian MiG-23 in the foreground,
an ex-Iraki MiG-21 (“007”) behind it.

I doubt very much if the UAE will buy anything from IAI.

Of course they are too bigoted and macho to do it openly.
but nothing prevents the from buying same from Boeing, which itself bought it someplace else. :diablo:

Note that this one was only “proposed” as well. This is a picture is a fake including a small scale model to illustrate an article. It was never built.

Does any body have image of Dassault Cavalier ???

I do not have a picture, but this was not a VTOL plane. It was a conventional CTOL trainer project, never built. The Bréguet 121 project was selected instead (and eventually became the sepecat Jaguar E/T).

Another Soviet Design but dunno what was the name

It is a Kamov Ka-22 “VINTOKRYL”, NATO code “Hoop”.

Fliegende Uebermensch!

Anyone can figure out how come Hitler did not personally sponsor this one?

Der fliegende Übermensch !!

Not argentinian for sure.

This roundel seems to have something, like a crest or so, in the middle. Buggers me why the canadian mapple leaf is on the tail, may be some tech demonstrator by DHC?

Well, of course it is Canadian. The registration tells so.
Now, this pic was taken during the Farnborough air show. Of course it is a demonstrator of some sort.

Then, it so happens that Argentina does operate the DHC-6. And does have a huge coastline. Plus (ahem) disagreements about economic rights/etc to some islands.

Is it too far of a stretch to think the DH Canucks tried to sell it to some Argie service, and painted the demo plane so?

What is the crest about? I dunno, but I’d guess Customs, Fisheries protection, Environmental police, somesuch. Your guess as good as mine.

Thanks Dan Pub !

You’re very welcome.

VTOL is a fascinating domain. And those programs you mention are only the late-comer to the game. There was a whole series of developments in the mid-60s, spopnsored by NATO which thought that all runways would be destroyed by the soviet hordes during their initial strike.
Everything was tried, even the most extreme ideas. Check some programs like the Zero Length Launch Starfighter. Conventional landing, but VTO.

(Doesn’t it beg the question: what happens if anything goes wrong? 😀 )
