Description
During a joint NATO execise a RAF Lightining from No. 56 Sqd and a F4J from VF 84 team up to ID a bogie.
The "Bogie" (unknown if friend or foe) is a C133 Cargomaster. This was the heavy hauler for the USAF until the C5. The last ones flew until 1971. They hauled mostly cargo (I never found one hauling passengers regulary) and were the only aircraft in the inventory that could load and haul an entire Thor ICBM (in one piece). The engines spun their props at supersonic speeds in climb and trans-sonic in cruise.
The lightning is an F3 with upgraded missle systems but no gun. The Lightning was fast and even U-2 pilots were not immune to seeing them at altitude. The F3 had short legs and the ultimate model the F6 had a bigger belly pod (with guns) to accommodate more fuel.
The F4-J was the US Navy's upgrade of the B model with upgraded electronics but did away with the IRST.
The models: F4-J Bazzes F4-E modified to the F4-J
The EE Lightning is Neiwils Lightning modified to an F3 (I told him I was going to do an F2 but what the heck)
The C-133 was done in WIngs3D.
