Ac notesStarting this beast up and watching the Engine indicators - count them! - come to life is fun. Landing it is even more fun!

Lockheed F-104 Starfighter
Sim notesLockheed F-104S Starfighter ( what a cracker - this one was GOOD! ) | MiGMan thanks Rob "Bomber" Henderson for these notes.
Flyable
Ac notesS models feature upgraded engines and avionics making them truly all weather fighters and the last production models. The leading edges of the F-104 wings were so sharp the ground crew had to exercise special care not to be cut when working near them!

Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk Stealth
Sim notesLockheed F-117A ( another overkill on the bomb bay capacity - 16 Mk82's! You also had the option of underwing pylons for Paveway LGB's. However, using just the internal stores, you were stealthy, and the enemy had real trouble getting missiles to track you properly...) | MiGMan thanks Rob "Bomber" Henderson for these notes.
Flyable
Ac notesLike many flight sim fans, my love affair with the Wobbly Goblin began in 1988 with F-19 Stealth Fighter on my Atari ST.

McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet
Sim notesMcDONNELL DOUGLAS F/A-18A HORNET ( I think this one could carry just about everything in the inventory ) | MiGMan thanks Rob "Bomber" Henderson for these notes.
Flyable
Ac notesThe Hornet was conceived from the word go as a dual-role aircraft, hence the designation F/A-18, which means Fighter-Attack. It was meant to supplement the role of the F-14 Tomcat, providing shorter range Air defense and to totally replace the A-7 Corsair and A-6 Intruder.

Northrop F-20 Tigershark
Sim notesNorthrop F-20A Tigershark ( the big brother of the F-5E, and as such I found it less manoeuvrable although slightly longer ranged ) | MiGMan thanks Rob "Bomber" Henderson for these notes.

Sim notesNorthrop B-2 ( the stealth bomber - pretty much the same as the F-117, only bigger and less agile, and no external stores ) | MiGMan thanks Rob "Bomber" Henderson for these notes.

Panavia Tornado
Sim notesPanavia Tornado F.Mk3 ( as per the real thing - very fast at low level, but nothing spectacular elsewhere ) | MiGMan thanks Rob "Bomber" Henderson for these notes.
Flyable
Ac notesFrom the 1980’s the Panavia Tornado was a staple of the UK, German and Italian airforces and along with the F-111 and B-1B dominated the low-level high speed interdiction bombing role for decades. There were also air defense variants. At the time it boasted the most sophisticated bomber / navigator station in service, the seat being dominated by 3 large cathode ray tubes. The flight plans were loaded via cassette tape and the Terrain Following Radar (TFR) enabled it to fly super-sonic at night and at altitudes down to 50 feet, a performance metric which is hard to match even in the 2020’s.

Mikoyan Gurevich MiG-25 Foxbat
Sim notesMiG-25 Foxbat-E ( the only way you could hope to catch the SR-71 ) | MiGMan thanks Rob "Bomber" Henderson for these notes.
Flyable
Ac notesFirst brought to the collective attention of the west in the 1972 defection of Lt. Victor Belenko to Hakodate, Japan and subsequently immortalised as the basis for the wildly successful novel and movie "Firefox", the MiG-25 was an integral part of Eastern Bloc air defence during the Cold War. With it’s Mach 2 plus and edge-of-space capabilities it was specifically designed to counter the reconnaissance threats posed by the U-2 and later the SR-71 Blackbird, a role it fulfilled for several decades..
