You're going to suggest he take some time to think it over, look at his calendar and real life commitments, draw a flow chart decision tree and refine that list of four down to one in an orderly process of decision making discipline, right? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FortyEighter Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 The perfect GB to start another Kinetic F-16 (well, actually there are four lurking) with a wide choice of schemes to choose from: Polish Tiger Meet (2015 or 2018) or from the NATO boxing; Norway, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark or Italian "Diana" using decals left over from the Eduard Ltd Edition boxing or an Hellenic version.

The Block 50 aircraft had a similar HUD to earlier jets. However, I'm not an expert. Can anyone confirm this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted November 29, 2023 Author Share Posted November 29, 2023 According to https://www.f-16.net/f-16_versions_article7.html Block 40/42 had the holographic HUD and the next Block 50/52 had FOV HUD. Now don't ask me what they mean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted November 29, 2023 Author Share Posted November 29, 2023 It looks like the NATO GB will be a dress rehearsal for the proposed 2025 F-16 STGB. Well, I am one of those who add a mental "=" between the Alliance and that aircraft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerbannog Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Hmmm.. anything military would include the XB-70 Valkyrie as well? Although it never became operational? If so I might want to add it - or an A-10 Warthog from Desert Storm 🙂 So either will be USAF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted December 16, 2023 Author Share Posted December 16, 2023 Before yesterday, I wasn't sure what to build in this GB. Now I think I know what I want: A Jaguar, but not a Jaguar A 🐈. Grrrrrr... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Masters Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Aha... @vppelt68 I noticed the very fine list with all the flags alongside our names...That's great. I see that I have the French flag next to mine? No offence to our Freres Français, but I was born in Ireland to an American family and raised in the USA. So would you be able to switch mine to the stars and stripes please? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flags are there just for decoration, although they also show the order of joining the Alliance (but when several nations founded it, and later several joined on the same date, those nations are in their alphabetical order).
