Does anyone know if this is the Draken they used in an episode of The Pretender several years back?

After seeing those delightful shots of the YF-17s, I figured I'd post this comparison shot of the YF-17 in the F-18L guise next to one of the early F-18s. This photo had been given to me back in the 80s when I was working on converting the Hasegawa F-18 back to the YF-17. I had the thing just...

Thanks for this info! I didn't know all this was available. The Space: 1999 Year 1 CD listed on that site is the one I talked about. Good to know that it is still available.

Possibly drifting a little off topic here but I thought it worth mentioning 3 audio CDs which some members here might find interesting and worth tracking down. First - Space: 1999 Year 1 Original Television Soundtrack. SILCD1157 Silva Screen Records Group / Granada Ventures. This is not the...

I wonder if anyone can come up with one that is cheesier than the one I just remembered - The Mouse on the Moon. IMDB info here www.imdb.com/title/tt0057328/ Now that I think of it, I remember thinking about this movie when I saw Salvage 1. I guess it was that revolutionary low acceleration fuel.

Re: Starflight One Thanks!

You're welcome. However, I stand corrected. I pulled out the users manual and I see that the program is from Macromedia - not Adobe. I haven't used the program in a while and I hadn't even gotten around to loading it on this computer. I did use it for a few projects on the old computer that this...

Just thought I'd mention a useful program from Adobe called Fontographer. You can use this one to create your own fonts and to modify existing fonts. I'd think this one would be useful in the work you are producing - I mean with trying to reproduce those unique logo-types that have appeared on...

I could pick up a copy of the Squadron In Action book on the B-29 at the local hobby shop if you are interested. Mike

Re: Starflight One I've not seen that one but I can tell you that the movie with the Doppelganger was Journey to the Far Side of the Sun - at least, that's what it was called here in the states. By the way, there was another mirror Earth movie called The Stranger. This one had less in the way...

Thanks for the clarification. My mind was (and still is) in a bit of a fog after reading my way through this entire thread to be sure that these images had not been posted.

Source: The SST Here it comes, ready or not By Don Dwiggins, Doubleday & Co. Inc., 1968 Kelly Johnson's input on the SST and an illustration of a Continental Airlines SST. The caption is confusing on this one - citing the design as both Douglas and North American.

I found this in Rockets and Spacecraft of the World by Michael Chester W. W. Norton & Co. Inc. 1964 The caption with the image

I found these two illustrations (credited to Lockheed) in Rockets and Spacecraft of the World By Michael Chester W. W. Norton & Co. Inc. 1964 From the book

I have only my reaction to go on here but I see a single engined, delta winged F-18 or YF-17 variant in this model. Look at the combined shape of the canopy and nose. And, look at the suggested shapes of the intakes and ducting. Mike

Has there been any talk of flying it again? My understanding has been that the Smithsonian's policy is that when an aircraft comes into their collection it will never be flown again.

Or were they dispersed to museums? I've seen a D-21 in the Air Force Museum.

Last batch.

Third batch.
