That flew through my city.
A two-engine airliner? Those fly over my apartment all the time (I live in the flight path). They're somewhat louder when landing than taking off. Some wonder how anyone could live in the flight path of an international airport. It's simple really; I don't even notice them half the time. Wait, there went one right now.
Duh. Its ESA's Hermes mini shuttle riding piggyback on its transport plane.
Canadair F-86 Mk VI, still in USAF livery, freshly transferred to a front-line ROCAF fighter unit towards the end of the First Taiwan Straits Crisis.
Very nice indeed. That's going to go down like a cup of cold sick with the Soviets in your TL.
NA-68 and -69
In 1939, it dawned on the British that their available aircraft were coming up short in both performance and production numbers. In April, 1940, Sir Henry Self of the British Purchasing Commission met with "Dutch" Kindelberger, representing North American Aviation, in New York City. They quickly worked out a deal for the development of two aircraft, evolved from the eminently successful NA-16 advanced trainer, already in full production, and the NA-50, a fighter with a big engine. These would be known as the NA-68 and NA-69, powered by a Wright R-1820-60 engine, of 1200 hp. Fixed armament was two 20 mm cannons and two .303 machine guns, with the two-seat NA-69 adding an additional flexible defensive machine gun.
