F2 or FS-X it is.

Evenheim, it's a LAVI, the other Seabass is a TU144 ... that pancake itself at Le Bourget in 1973.

Question edit : What is an F16 with foward sweept wings?

Something like a Lavi? Rats, didn't finish reading the thread. On the plus side I
got the ID right

I also like CBass's "Concordski"

I saw a picture of a museum in Germany> with a Concorde and a Tu-144 on the roof facing each other.

Note : Looking at a website, they say the F16E is an XL single seater, and the F16F is an XL two seater.

Googled a picture of the Auto-Technik Museum in Sinsheim

SFRT - Frenchy · « **Reply #22 on:** September 11, 2007, 01:55:21 AM »

nice ... so what's on the picture?

Concorde, TU144, SU 22, Alphajet, Huey ... and Air France Iflyslow, like a convair maybe.

Nope, it's a Vicker Vicount, first passenger turboprop.

The Convair's I've seen are twins..like the Convair 440 with radials and
the 800 series with turboprops. Here is a different angle...it looks like a
Bristol or Douglas product to me. Maybe a DC-6?

SFRT - Frenchy · « **Reply #24 on:** September 11, 2007, 02:16:06 AM »

Vickers 701 Viscount ?

DC6 was piston not turb.

Rino · « **Reply #25 on:** September 11, 2007, 02:16:06 AM »

Ok..definitely not a DC-6..cockpit windows and the spinners are all wrong.
But check out this Bristol Brittania..definitely possible.

Looked too big to be a Viscount ever seen in person>. They used to have a couple come to Teterboro, NJ
when I worked there in the 80s. In fact, I remember a N150RC which we
claimed was Ray Charles's aircraft because only a blind man would have
approved that butt ugly paint job it wore

They used to fly rock bands around on them...one time I remember the pilot
claimed he had to be on oxygen due to the ganja smoke coming from the
cabin being so thick.

Funny story.

Cockpit windows do not match the Bristol but match the Vickers. The 10 side windows also match. My money on the Vickers

Rino · « **Reply #28 on:** September 11, 2007, 02:29:04 AM »

You know I think you are right

I have to admit being weak on UK/French airliners. Most of the stuff I see is
Dassault Falcon series, and ex-BAE Hawker types, at least from your old side
of the Pond.

Bombardier and Gulfstream have been pretty dominant at Morristown for quite
a while now.

You guys did make some very pretty stuff back in the day

The Viscount not
being one of them of course!

Rino · « **Reply #29 on:** September 11, 2007, 02:37:42 AM »

Ok, here is a good one. Without googling or checking the picture properties....
have at it!
