Who gives a shit when it looks so badass?
This is the "most aesthetic" thread, not the "most functional" thread.

The F20 should have been the F16. F5 was a great little plane.

A brain raised on English looses the ability to properly correlate symbols and sound. So it isn't just that they can't pronounce anything really, they are equally hopeless at going from sound to letters.

Wtf happened there

Big formation flight, and NASA's F-104 gets caught in the massive wingtip vortex, slams into the XB-70, ripping its tail off.

Give it twin tails and a bubble canopy, turn the weird linear bomb bay into a normal setup with an option for a miniaturized rotary armament carriage...F-15, 10 years early.

30x173? Yeah, that'll do nicely for AA duty.

Can do.

Pretty sure it fires 30x113 from the Frog DEFA cannon.

Moar Drakkens plz

Pretty sure you are wrong.

The early air-to-ground Viggen could mount two 30x113mm pods under the wings (Akan m/55, or internationally known as the ADEN).

The fighter variant (JA-37) has a single internal 30x173mm Oerlikon KCA.

They thought about that one for the JA37, but in the end they went with the Oerlikon KCA instead.

Hooked up to the radar and autopilot, which I guess means aimbot.
