A-5 Vigilante is close, but actually smaller then this plane, and nowhere near as fast. They are both built by North American though.

Actually, it is American. Vincent Burnelli was born in the States, and Burnelli Aircraft was located in New York City.

It wanted to rule out the ****liffe-Owen "Clyde Clipper".

As far as I understand it this particular Burnelli was used and built in Italy. Roosevelt wanted some for the US army in the 30's but it didnt come to pass.

Is it the LFAX-8?
 
Of the pics I can find, the LFAX has a twin tail, the pic has a single tail fin.

Yeah, plus the LFAX-8 was built by M-D, not NA.
 
Yeah, definatly not the LFAX-8. This plane is plenty bigger then that.
 
I think you have it EE. The wing ends and cockpit windows certainly look like an XF-108a
 
It is indeed the XF-108 Rapier.
 
Looks like a Tupolev of some sort. Strategic medium bomber. Late 50s, early 60s. Argh. Its on the tip of my tongue.

EDIT: Tu-16 Badger varient?


M
 
sadly you are mistaken, could this be as good as my saab lansen :)
 
Is it that Tu-16 look-a-like, the Myasishchev M-4 'Bison'?

That is my final answer.


M
 
You beat me to it M-Spec, I was just about to say M-4 Bison as well.
 
Gotta love the Soviets. Is there nothing they wouldn't rip off?
 
I must have shot down hundreds of M4s, Tu-16s and Tu-22s playing Falcon 3.0 and F14 Fleet Defender :D


M
 
Nope. Right now I'm looking at the Russian S-100, a rip-off of the American XB-70, of which we only had 2 of :lol:
 
Whoo-ho. I finally got one :D

Here's mine. One of the most coolest looking planes ever made, IMO. You guys are pretty damn astute, so you'll probably figure these two out right away.

Is that the F20 ???
 
I would say they're just F-5 Tigers, but the air intakes aren't right...

EDIT: Yeah, they do appear to be F-20 Tigersharks instead.

nor the single engine in the rear. . .
 
Gah. Didn't even last two minutes :irked:

Yes, they're F-20A Tigersharks; one of the greatest fighters to have never found paying customers. Next.
