    Mystery drone (?) under F-15 wing

    Confess that this one has me stumped. What is under the port wing? My guess is that it is some kind of a drone, but it is far smaller than the only two-engine drone I can think of (CT41) other than modified Bomarc. The rest of the load-out is pretty eccentric as well - Harpoon, Maverick and is...

    McDonnell Douglas F101B Voodoo - carrying MIM-23 Hawk Missile

    I have come across these pictures of McDonnell Douglas F-101B Voodoo Serial Number 57-0272 with a strange under nose sensor and carrying a MiM-23 Hawk missile. It is late 60's or early 70's from my guess. Does anyone have any more information on this project, its name and what was being tried?

    Fate of the British Harrier if the GD Convair Model 200 enters service?

    Hi everyone, IRL the US and UK jointly embarked on a complete Harrier redesign as the AV-8B as the US had no V/STOL alternative at the moment. But had the US chosen to finish development of the Convair Model 200 instead of the XVF-12A, and had this worked well enough to enter service, there...

    McDonnell-Douglas F-15N "Sea Eagle"

    To counteract some bad/incomplete information on the F-15N "Sea Eagle" on the internet, here's a really good account from Dennis R. Jenkin's fine Aerofax on the F-15.

    McDonnell Mach 6 Carrier Plane?

    On pg. 86 of Pentagon Paradox there is a quote," 1983 IOC fighter that would fly Mach 4.5 with a dash speed of Mach 6." If the Reformers hate it, I like it. Anyone know more about this?

    UpSTAGE ABM

    McDonnell Douglas UpSTAGE Anti-Ballistic Missile (funded by DARPA). Successful external combustion propulsion is quite visible in the last (in-flight) photo. I don't believe the Linear Aerospike engine ever achieved this.
