There's always Hollywood thriller script v31(a)...

It's been stolen by a Russian pilot who has to fly it by THINKING IN AMERICAN. Firefox 2 - Russian Revenge! Coming to a movie theatre near you soon!

But which accent does he have to think in?

The differences between a New Orleans one, a Los Angeles one and a Noo Yoik one are like three DIFFERENT languages!

Does this mean that a substantial amount of re-programming was called for before the F35 entered UK service?  And do the RAF and FAA need differing versions?

By the time Lockheed Martin Corporation deigns to write a letter with the letterheads and all on their solemn regrets about the conduct of (uhmm) persons , the wreck will be dredged out of those lakes nearby. Obviously the pilot would set the autopilot for a crash up there somewhere. No, F-35 has nothing to do with a 500mph Corsair; the Jet to beat that was the F-12 thing from Rockwell. Yes, this means there will be no letters.

And it is cool that I can attach pictures if I use some formal reply option instead of fast reply thing. Will soon identify which buttons do what...

It would be Firefox 3. Because there is already a novel in which Gant steals the plane AGAIN.

And here in Jersey, we send a couple gentlemen with broken noses and ties to the waste disposal industry to have a "chat" with you for mocking our accent.

The accent of the legitimate pilot?
I thought they have voice recognition files for each pilot, so why not different thought recognition files too.

Sshhh! Don't let on that the pilots have to have chips inserted in their brains!... oh... woops.

A friend posted this on FaceBlock:
 

"This is the cover of an actual book, not satire as far as I can tell."

Yes, sadly, yes it is.  Here's the link to Barnes & Noble's page: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/books/1144043113?ean=9798859839476

Reviewers (on (Sc)Amazon) are appropriately scathing, with a particular theme: "Blutarsky was right!  The Germans bombed Pearl Harbor!"

l could start a thread of book covers with inappropriate aircraft in them. P-40s over Paris, Luftwaffe Ar 96s in Asia, B-29s over Europe in WW2 etc.

I should take photos when l see them at work.

In view of somewhat temporary requirements to have proof,  Dan Sharp in his book/magazine Secret Bombers of the Third Reich refers to Ernst Heinkel's memoirs. In which the designer talks about He-277 being of similar size to a "Super Fortress" (which HAS to be the B-29) actually seen over Germany in increasing numbers by about the Autumn of 1943. He-277 expected to be considerably faster at a calculated 575 km/h! If you remember the B-29 used to be 560 in my youth; while Wikipedia gives the number at 575... Also having some ideas about 4 engined He-111 in pre-war US markings bombing Sofia in a Turkish spy movie. They would be laughed at by all the people if they did the CGI as B-29, you know.

My eye was drawn towards the Eagle engined Typhoon (Typheagle):

Found it: "Fisher P-75 in the stash as a starting point, coupled with wings from an old Attacker."
