I love it!

You called it a Lockheed Martin design, though.  The British Aerospace contingent are going to s**t themselves.

I know now how the US navy got him airborne! They told him canada had just bought the USS Nimitz, and the aircraft where all canadian! Of course, he couldnt tell what country they where, coz in the future all roundels have been removed, and replaced with nonvisible markings! :P

Yowsa Rafa yet another wonderful what-if build and backstory that completely blows me away! I really like the details you add to both!

Once again I am so impressed by your work I am considering trading in my plastic kits for mudpies. My hat is off to you!!!

Oh wow!  Oh wow!  Oh wow!   :wub:  :wub:  :wub:
Man, that was interesting enough from the side views but then to see the twin boom effect from other angles----that was definitely the money shot.

No problem on the "Canuck flying a US fighter" issue, either.  For a bird this sweet, nobody in Canada could blame a guy for defecting, at least temporarily.   Actually, I'm pretty sure "Baz" was assigned to a multi-national fighter exchange program to better evaluate this potential aircraft pursuant to a Memo-Of-Understanding Canada and the US were both hoping would lead to a serious procurement program!

But, after reading the story, I REALLY gotta go throw a leak!   :P

Sure would like to get some clearer shots from the 3/4 aft perspective.  You can PM them to me if you'd prefer.

Wow!!  You are a bona fide creative genius, Rafa.  I have to bust a blood vessel to come up with any idea 1/10th as original as anything you've shown to date!

So... in 2026, vey beautiful twin-boom supersonic aircraft will rule the World. I am happy to know it. That was a hope of mine, and now it's a proven fact. Thanks!

Can you recapture this angle but with clear focus and in outdoor light with a relatively plain background?
