shep854 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 The F-101 was badly overshadowed by her contemporaries; the single-seat RF-101s looked best to me--especially in the SEA paint. Wiki came through! Racing stripe/lightning bolt: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futon Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I think the larger front for the radar and two seater canopy balances the fuselage that extends pass the engines but just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, those stubby wings make me think of quail. Edited August 16 by shep854 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, it's an Israeli aircraft and they paint their fighters in a desert cam livery. It looks better from other angles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ssnake Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 I mean those hunchbacks left and right of the fuselage, not the thin paint layer (which, technically, is also "on top of the wings") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
