Launch platform for the Exocet missile during the Falklands War, but a beautiful aircraft nonetheless - the Dassault-Breguet Super-Etendard:

What have Spock's mother and Port Stanley runway got in common?

I don't think the F-4 has featured before. I have a love hate/relationship with it myself. One of the very first kits I build was of the F-4, and I bought a couple of F-4 kits last week - the first kits I'd bought in months.Geoff wrote:Some of these might have made an appearance already, but WTF.

Nice. I used to have a Piper cub model and a P51D model but I lost both in crashes. I still have a few depron planes but I fly RC helicopters now.Pensioner wrote:I like aircraft with windmills on the front.
