Nr.1
Can anybody tell me what the aircaft in the movie Hot Shots! is? (The American one made in Germany, the MiG's (F-5s) are rip offs from Top Gun) Or what it is based on.  I have stories that it is a real aircraft and that it was made up for the movie, an di closely looked at the flying scenes and the look real to me.

Nr.2
Is there one of these (or what it is based on) for FS8/9?

Thanks in advance

Well, the image here has an F-18 flying in it.  Is that it?

no, actually, I want to say it looks like an inlarged Gnat, but doesnt look like a Mirage... if that helps at all... sorry i don't have much info on it, thats why I am asking.

Give me a few minutes i will try playing the disc on my pc and take a screen shot

According to this it's the Folland Gnat T.Mk.1. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102059/trivia

Original mount of the Red Arrows. Pic here. http://www.warbirdalley.com/articles/gnat-sf.htm

That would be it!  ;D  Folland Gnat, i thought it was that or similar but the Gnat ive seen is tiny compared to the movie's Gnats... Thanks a bunch man, now the search truely begins  ;D

peace out
