I've heard them many times. Caught one or two as tiny specs in the sky. Now, how to actually get a nice photo of this exceptional plane? Buy a model of it (diecast), shoot that in a simple background, extract the plane from the background, blend it with a sky image (also shot) and there you have it!

Thanks for posting that. Every place I’ve worked the photographers and the model makers were separate operations.
As a kid I wanted to shoot my models and acoarst most cameras didn’t have close focus. An SLR was a unthinkable expense, so I used diopters, charts, and tape measures.
With the twin rudders it reminds me of a Chance Vought Cutlass of 50 years ago.

Oh, I'll have to look that one up to see what you mean. Intriguing.

It’s also the navy F7. IIRC it had no separate elevators ... had “aelevons” I think they call that. It’s a really great looking airplane :-)

Cool. I did just look it up. Aileron is what you mean, by the way. Had to look that up too. Spelling is not my long suit.
