How about that Draken with the Fieri intakes fitted with a J79 in place of the Avon and the full-up sensor fit of the J35J?  Or fitted with an RM12 and the avionics of the JAS-39 as a low-cost upgrade to supplement the JAS-39 fleet.

Very much awesomeness. And a formula that might also work well with Mirages, and Delta Daggers.  :)

I had an idea for a cheesy Iron Eagle XXIII -  The Arrow: The True Story film, where "Canada" looks suspiciously Israeli deserty, the CF-100s are played by Fouga Magisters and the Arrow by a white-painted Kfir with a false set of back-seater windows painted on..... ;D

74 Squadron, RAF

Finnish AF, but is a Danish-modified strike aircraft.  Carries the Exocet.    Flies rarely thanks to a gentlemen's agreement between the Finns and the Russians.    Norwegians have the same aircraft.

... and yes Daryl it was to include anti-ship missile capability.  ;)

I'm inclined to suggest adding the F-105-style inlets and a fixed, rather than retractable, canard of respectable size.

Wouldn't a small canard been plenty?   The Draken can toss itself through the sky pretty decently already.    ;D

The dog tooth....will remember that one.   Thanks!   :)

I could go with the small canard in a fixed installation rather than a retractable one as proposed.  Add the dogtooth and wingtip IRAAM rails (Sidewinder or equivalent - could see a late one with IRIS-T missiles or ASRAAMs).

From aesthetics, I still want a F-105-style inlet.

Perhaps the RF-35 in USAF markings would also be re-engined with a J79?

What advantage would the F-105-style intakes offer?   Apart from the handsome rakish cosmetic value that is.
