Someone should design the SA-43 Hammerhead jet from the old Space: above and beyond tv show.  Half of the reason that show was as awesome as it was, were because of the jets.  And design the ISSCV too.  They would definently make interesting additions to flight sim 2004.  The F-18's and others are cool, but the hammerhead is just too awesome not to have in fs2004.

There is a cool story about the original models that were used in the show.  A long line of hammerheads were sitting on a pier, and a russian fishing boat (i think that was what it was, anyway) It had been a windy day and one of the tarps covering a hammerhead had blown off and the entire crew of the boat had seen the plane. (although none of them saw the show) They all stood there in awe, thinking the hammerhead was an actual US Marine Corps. fighter jet.  Mainly looking at the laser cannons, and the cluster missil racks that were hanging off of the plane.  It was a cool story as I thought it was a bit amusing that someone had thought anyone could build a plane without a verticle stabilizer.

Still it would be a cool plane to fly in fs2004!

The B-2 has no vertical stab.

NASA has also flown several prototypes that lack a V-Stab.

I can only imagine what a Russian Trawler crew would have thought about a SA-43...those models had a lot more detail than typical in film work, they hold up pretty well in detail shots.

its already available along with a sh!t load of repaints  8)

Go search for "SA-43" here.

Cool!!! Thanks alot!!!

You wouldn't happen to know of anyone who would have any of the other ships from the show?

I'm pretty sure no one has created the others, but I'm not positive.  To tell the truth, the Hammerhead is the only one I can remember (other than those little alien buggers . . .)
