No, the wing is too wide. Not sure what it is, almost looks like a modern Canberra.

Post by: Maverick on October 04, 2006, 01:03:06 PM: It was a Canberra with the high alt recon package (longer wingspan) and upengined from the original. In short it's a mission similar to what the U2 does / did.

Great photo's, thanks for the link!

Post by: Makarov9 on October 04, 2006, 01:24:45 PM: Amazing the amount of money and hardware being used in such a desolate, third-world country. I am however in favor of giving the people of Afghanistan a better future than the Taliban was providing.

lol.

Skuzzy said you have to post some thoughts or statements, not just links or they will be deleted. It went bye bye because you didnt say anything, you just posted pictures.

Post by: Skuzzy on October 05, 2006, 06:36:16 AM: If you start a thread with nothing more than a link, and no commentary, it will get whacked. The MP's, nor myself, are under any obligation to review the linked pages.

Because too many people link to pages which can contain spyware, malware, or any number of bad things, it is up to the thread starter to post what the link is about and why it is being linked from here.

The MP's will be consistent in this, regardless of the linked page.
