Sorry Ernie, just got home from that thing we call work.

Ok, here we go.

1. It was designed to fit a specification issued in the 50's.

2. Did not fly until the 60's.

3. 3 main versions.

4. Only 2 versions were really used .

5. But this aircraft was used by more than a few nations.

Ok, That's whatcha get for a start......

Thanks!

No sweat, Zip; I know how it is. Well, actually, no; I don't. But I do remember about work... well, not really... But, I do seem to recall I didn't much like it. Now, as to the subject of this question. If it's what I think it is, you're a dog. And I'm not biting. <g> Thanks; Ernie P.

Not either of those wonderful warbirds. But like the Phantom it does sport 2 engines.

Interesting the <g> (grin) symbol showed up when I typed it, and now again when I quoted it, but not in the actual post.

Sorry, Zip; but it was supposed to read "<G>" (grin), to show I was kidding. Thanks; Ernie P.

5. But this aircraft was used by more than a few nations.

6. Twin engined.

7. While several were lost due to accidents, and at least one structural failure, only one was downed by hostile fire. (as far as I can tell)

Not the awesome F-15. BUT, like the F-15 this aircraft is still in service.

So...

1. It was designed to fit a specification issued in the 50's.


2. Did not fly until the 60's.

3. 3 main versions.

4. Only 2 versions were really used .

5. But this aircraft was used by more than a few nations.

6. Twin engined.

7. While several were lost due to accidents, and at least one structural failure, only one was downed by hostile fire. (as far as I can tell)

8. This aircraft is still in "front line" service.

Ok, That's whatcha get for a start......

Thanks!

Not the Mirage, but.............................

Like the Mirage it is named for something that can be shimmering and beautiful, but can also be deadly.

2. Did not fly until the 60's.

3. 3 main versions.

4. Only 2 versions were really used .

5. But this aircraft was used by more than a few nations.

8. This aircraft is still in "front line" service.

9. Not a U.S. aircraft.

10.It carries the name of something that can be shimmery and lovely, but can also be deadly.

11. One aspect of it's design shares a name with a tootsie roll product! (Chew on that one !)

Ok, That's whatcha get for a start......

Thanks!

ok, a more conventional clue this time.....if I have to, I guess...

1. It was designed to fit a specification issued in the 50's.


2. Did not fly until the 60's.

3. 3 main versions.

4. Only 2 versions were really used .

5. But this aircraft was used by more than a few nations.

6. Twin engined.

7. While several were lost due to accidents, and at least one structural failure, only one was downed by hostile fire. (as far as I can tell)

8. This aircraft is still in "front line" service.

9. Not a U.S. aircraft.

10.It carries the name of something that can be shimmery and lovely, but can also be deadly.

11. One aspect of it's design shares a name with a tootsie roll product! (Chew on that one !)

12. Only 2 nations are still using this aircraft, and one is in the process of replacing it.

13. Which will leave one nation using it, and it is the nation that built them.

Ok, That's whatcha get for a start......

Thanks!
