RAF Sentinel.............ugly or what?

May not look great, but only goes to show how small AWACs systems have gotten over the years. Up until now, to get thee amount of Radar power/range that SENTINEL can would require a 707 airframe. Hell, it's getting better power & range out of its radar than the E-2C Hawkeye.

I've seen it in the flesh so to speak, it was flying about here (RAF Valley) a few months ago.

Looks rather mean, like it means buisness. I like it.

I agree, I think that looks the dog's B***ocks to me.

Living under the Waddington circuit, I've see it on number of occasions and more recently up close at the Waddington airshow. I rather like it.

Dare I say, it even looks like a bit like . . . . a miniture VC10!?! :shock: :redface:

Shame there isn't a decent model for FS9. It's really growing on me.
