Actually, Tophe, that's an F-86, not a MiG-15

Thanks! I thought the star was meaning Soviet, but the low tailplane is not matching this interpretation, you are right.

In a (French) Walt Disney cartoon booklet I bought for my son is a weird plane that seems what-if, no?:

It's a nice looking aircraft Tophe, very much in the style of the period.

Is that Donald Duck in the co-pilots seat ?

Last month I bought for my son a child magazine: "Les trésors de Picsou" (Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge) #44, and I found this airplane, inventive it seems:

Here, in Uncle Scrooge #47 booklet, this character is Donald's uncle Scrooge.
And in the same booklet is another airplane it seems (twin-engine? jet or propeller powered?):

Ah cheers Tophe. I couldn't work out if it was Donald (my favourite) or Scrooge McDuck

In the next issue was a DC-3-like with additional jets on the tail

And in a pleasant Belgian cartoon book, I found a weird V-tail single jet plane, I am almost sure it is a what-if dream, no?

It looks like a jet powered Bonanza, quite a nice looking thing though.

Thanks! And there is a lovely Mirage 3C cartoon also:

Some dreams come true.

I had one fly over the house a couple of months back.

Thanks! Good!

This month my son found another what-if plane in his cartoon magazine:

Yeah that'll totally work. If anyone feels like trying this, please make sure that:

a) Someone who knows what they're doing is fliming it from the ground or another plane,

b) That someone has signed a contract in blood saying that they'll upload the results to YouTube whatever happens...
