Post by Airspeed »

A bit more up to date this time, any guesses or definite identifications will be considered, but there's only one correct answer. ;)

If I get it right, do I deserve a kick in the Shinshin?? 😊

Definitely a Shinshin. :agree: Originally thought it may have been a TAI TF-X.

Sorry about the delay in replying, in hospital yesterday, then slept until this morning.

You chaps never cease to impress me with your knowledge! :agree:

I came across it when reading about the F22. For those who didn't know, that's probably just me; USA refused to export any F22s.
Japan wanted a platform to test some of their equipment, so decided to build their own version, hence its similarity to the Raptor.
You were on it like a rat up a drainpipe, so congratulations to Dale.

Wow Thanks for the award Mike I've never won anything. Can't even win an argument :poke: I did win a Christmas turkey once in the works raffle, trouble was we had already bought one (turkey till Easter)
I was reading an article a while back remembering it looked a lot like a Raptor. Quick Google confirmed.
Hope all was OK yesterday 🤞

You're welcome, Dale.
Thanks for asking, it'll be a few days before I hear about the colonoscopy results. (I've checked my testicles, and they're not black, btw) ;)
