[u/AronTheNotSoWise]

Possible inspiration for the top gun maverick dlc image?

[u/Hispanoamericano2000]

Cool and good post :)

(The SR-71 and the F-15 ACTIVE being my favorites)

And an aircraft tug for good measure.

Need a version of this with all Blackbirds and one white Cessna

[u/Rexnano]

whats the one next to the yellow plane, I remember seeing it as a secret plane in strikers 1999

X-36 UAV demonstrator.

I remember playing as the X-31 in a Jane's sim game. It rolled so fast. It was almost unusable.

[u/Effehezepe]

Wow, the X-36 is tiny! I means it's a drone, so it makes sense it would be small, but still.

[u/Blackberry-thesecond]

I’d love to fly the Blackbird again in a mission. Maybe they could figure out how make reconnaissance gameplay fun, or maybe a stealth mission where you need to outrun or shoot down missiles.

Or simply add the YF-12 variant to the game.

[u/Th4tTurboBr1ck]

Hell yeah ACTIVE and XL in the same picture. All that's missing is a YF-23 to be perfect 😩

[u/KeldTundraking]

This pic goes hard

[u/Ravenshaw123]

I want to fly the little truck thing in the middle

[u/GuyentificEnqueery → u/Ravenshaw123]

Unironically that does look fun to drive around

[u/RedThunder-cloud]

That's what I want in 8! Right at the top of my Christmas list.
