The thing first flew in 1974, entered service in 1978, has gone from strength to strength and hasn't aged a day since. Front-line service for more than a third of a century, and look at it: it still looks modern. The F-16 is still one of the premier fighting aircraft in the world today.

    I'm not much of a jet person but I can't help but be mightily impressed by this machine, and others like it - like the similarly successful F-15 series.

    Reggiane Re.2005 "Sagittario"

    ...

    Dude, this plane is absolutely stunning.

    we should have it in il2 btw. what theaters this plane saw any combat? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>



    Wikipedia apart, here is a detailed story of that plane, including some test reports and opinions (in Italian language).

    http://www.alireggiane.com/aer...-sagittario-t271.htm


    Very few Re.2005 were built and very few were operational in Italy before the Armistice between Italy and Allies (September 8, 1943).

    It seems that after Armistice some planes were seized by Germans, although I'm a little bit skeptical about their use for the defence of Berlin or Ploesti oil fields.
    Germans never were in shortage of planes (whereas there were scarcity of trained pilots!), they had plenty of good Me109s and FW190s: why training or re-training their pilots on a small number of an equally good but substantially equivalent foreign machine?

    It was a good fighter but with some structural weaknesses.
    The other two "Serie 5" fighters, MC205 and G55, were as much as good but more sturdy.
    But from an aesthetic point of view Re.2005 was at the top, in my opinion.

    I agree that Re.2005 would deserve a place in IL2 (it seems to me there was a good add-on for MS CFS3).

    YOU'VE GOT IT ALL WRONG!

    Dummies, you don't get to choose the most beautiful aircraft in the world. Like it or not, it chooses you.

    Ok, so you're hiking through the English countryside. You pass right through the garden green of a large estate and happen on this noble, natural beauty strolling around in the garden with her little umbrella.



    Well, her sleek figure is enticing and her eyes may say yes but her daddy, Lord Merlin, says no. And she won't stray far from home base.

    To save your skin from the angered father you catch a ride across the pond. Almost instantly you bump into this Broadway chorus line chick:



    Her eyes certainly don't say no and you just need one look to know she'll go all the way. At least once you've fueled her properly. You order an extra bottle to be on the safe side but toss it away later as it was never really needed. Anyway, she's good fun. At first. Then some time later she starts behaving. Her bucking hurts your male ego. You find yourself wondering who is in command here? Things are getting worse still. She is growing a belly. You ditch her and put your escape and evasion training into practice.

    Disillusioned, you sit down at a bar on a shady street to drown your sorrows. Not that it seems to help. What a lousy bar. Not a single chick in sight. The sign outside said 'The Blue Oyster'. While you contemplate on this silly name you suddenly feel an overly firm hand on your shoulder that almost snaps your collar bone. You're spun around on your bar stool and end up in groin height of this huge muscular guy in a leather cap. If his fat moustache was ever intended to hide his massive underbite, it failed. Man, what a monster! Through the underbite comes a deep, booming voice:
    'They call me Tempest, and I don't take no for an answer.'
