Slightly off-topic but HushKit is a delightful aviation site and though I am aircraft enthusiast since when William Green was in his 30s, I always flunk their quizzes. Some interesting questions such as the Top Scoring fighter Ace - who wore Spectacles???

BTW that Sukhoi-7 profile pasted - didnt really serve with the IAF - we operated a slightly different version.. i will leave it for others to find out the tiny differences...[/quote]


Let me guess( with Wikihelp) - this is an earlier model of the Su-7B without being optimized for the strike role - we had the Su-7BMs which can be recognized by two parallel external fuel lines running along the spine on the top of the fuselage??

Haha No issues sir

It is indeed that bird

Was supposed to be VSTOL bird

The amazing part was this - 'It was claimed that the aircraft could fly under control at 11 mph (18 km/h) and that it could take off with a 1,500 lb (680 kg) load at 70% power in 90 ft (28 m).'
