Martinnfb Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Maple leaf insignia would look nice on those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Wow, that is interesting looking. They dont even mention the forward canards...................are they movable/controllable, or just static? LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Brian, i don't think that are forward canards, it's just the "walk-on" surface as on the original "E" versions, so it's applied onto the LERX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Duh! lol - Totally didnt even notice they were part of the strakes themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Sorry about the snappy answer , I was running out of the house. As Jack said, those are anti-skid patches. Even those look cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I really wish that RCAF would updated it's inventory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Guys, maybe unintentionally these anti-skid surfaces may be considered as canards in a dogfight??? Go figure... ...Brian's idea might have merit !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 In that case Brian spoiled it, because every potential adversary of the new Hornet might read this thread and become all tactically aware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Yeah, M2 has been on the plan for a while and it will take another little while to be fully operational. I would say the main reason is to keep countries like Korea in check. God forbid hot encounter of M2 and any western fighters. well, back to the Hornet I had in mind fighter on fighter "red baron" style scenario. Tom Cruise and stuff Also methinks, under current circumstances we should thing about alliance and forget stigma of the cold war forever. Here is Sukhoy flying cover for B1B, so fricking cute !
