Oh my, Snafu. That's such a far off guess.

Anyone that knows anything about aiplanes knows it's a P-51XXXA. Notice the single seat bubble canopy, the below-wing radiator, the rakish, squared-off tail, and the underwing gas tanks.

This is definitely a North American aircraft! Plus it has a reliable electrical system.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Hmmm... I see wings attached to a fuselage and a tail in the back - looks like another Herr Tank's creation to me (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif).

Are you sure Pakrat?

At first I thought of the P-51XXXA but dismissed it because of the narrower track undercarrage. Although the drop tank configuration does mean I might be wrong on this one. I thought the squared off tail was a direct development of the clipped wing used on some earlier spitfires. As to the electics I have blown the picture up several hundred times and am sure the pilot is busy twisting bits of wire together under the dash  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

most 4 year olds in the US would recognise a F-16.  They are in alot of movies and stuff.  prolly a tomcat would be easier to recognise but some might confuse it with a F-15.

BTW, I think the CG was for hitting ground targets, but the one on the pic only has extra fuel tanks, and the visual difference brom the CG to the CJ cannot be determined by the external apperance AFAIK.
