No worry you don't bother me, btw is the first time I hear about a F-111B as USN transport, did you have some reference material about that, or it only a "what if"?

If the second case, usually I don't like to realize "what if" concepts (there is a lot of people skillest than me about that) preferring to concentrate on real design or really designed (even if unbuilt) aircrafts and space vehicles.

You're always kind Michel, and for the rest I fully agree with you...

Thinking about Michels wishful thinking I had the idea, that after their military career some of them
could have had a second, civilian life in a Virgin Atlantic, or perhaps a Red Bull colour scheme ... ;D

Cool..... B)

 

[jsport]

yes, unfortunately a F-111 transport would be a WHIF that appeared on 'What if Forum' but only as sketch not as a model. don't beleive anyone has tryed that.

Archipeppe,


Fascinating design and excellent illustration. I have never seen this aircraft before.


Would have been very interesting to be a passenger, especially after the pilot ejects...LOL.


Happy New Year to all.

Exzellent modification !

 

[Foo Fighter]

What would be the potential range for such an adaptation?
