I do like that Phantom ! they still have the look to kill

Marty, You know how much I like afterburner, same goes for heat shimmer. Nice photos, still prefer your screens though.

I have heard tales that tell of how McDonnell engineers purposely made that thing look mean, so as to sell it!
It is not the optimum aero solution, apparently.

First one is a stunner I reckon, not least because its one of the few Typhoon pics where you don't see the intake - and go '"Oh dear, what was the Committee thinking?"
I'd take up the challenge, but don't have the Eurofighter in the shed...
