Paul.....you will be pleased to know that, as part of my NASA line-up, a WIF F-4E will appear in the beautiful white/blue NASA scheme. She will also feature a civvie rego, (like most NASA aircraft), and therefore will be eligible for entry in to our new category. I am also planning an F-14 for the NASA theme. NASA did briefly operate an F-14, but in pretty much standard military scheme.....once again though, mine will be in a white/blue scheme.

Those F-18 photos are very interesting - particularly the "Look momma, no hands!" one! Looks to be a test of automated in-flight refuelling system - no doubt as now used on the X-47B UCAV. Got any more details on this Tony?

This technology is where the USA is streets ahead of the competition. China this last year had it's first sea trials with their J-15 (Chinese Navy "Flanker"), USA does same with X-47B!
