Denmark, F-15 Eagle


United Kingdom, F-15 Eagle

AU-ified RAF F-15s

USA, F-51J Dark Horse (P-51H Night Fighter)


USA, EC-27J Compass Pacer

A fictional Americanized variant of the EC-27J JEDI, known here under the program name COMPASS PACER.

USA, AC-27J Stinger II

A fictionalized gunship variant of the C-27J Spartan, using promotional photos from the late 2000's as reference for systems and name.

USA, F-16 Fighting Falcon (Tonopah)

Fictional Tonopah Test Range/Det 3 AFFTC F-16C liveries, using the TR tailcode seen on recent F-117 spottings.

Australia, Agama Mk. II

A fictional in-service version of the North American B-28, seen here in service with the Royal Australian Air Force as the Agama Mk. II.

Norway, Hawk 75A-6

A fictional camouflaged Royal Norwegian Air Force Hawk on skis, seen during Operation Fritham in May 1942.

USA, Curtiss XF15C

In an attempt to make up for the delays and low performance estimates of their XF14C project, Curtiss decided to modify one of their P-78As into a prototype for a carrier-capable fighter. Intended as an alternative in the event the XF14C was cancelled, the new aircraft (company designation Model 95L and Navy designation XF15C) first flew in July 1944, only days before the XF14C prototype. While the Navy considered the XF15C to be more capable than the XF14C and quicker to produce owing to the existing production of P-78s, they eventually decided to can the program anyway owing to the imminent introduction of higher-performing aircraft such as Grumman's F8F Bearcat.

The top scheme shows the prototype on its first flight, painted in all-over white with full roundel, while the bottom shows a notional in-service scheme for VF-12.

A side AU project showing AU USAF, US Army, and USN operators of the Lockheed Martin C-27J Spartan and associated variants.

The USAF operates the aircraft in the tactical airlift role with regular, reserve, and state air guard/air militia units both in the US and around the world (replacing older aircraft like the original C-27A, C-123 and Ahrens AR 404/C-23A); in addition AFSOC operates a dedicated SF/CSAR variant known as the MC-27J Praetorian and TAC operate a dedicated electronic warfare and attack variant designated as the EC-27J Compass Pacer (massive heads up to The_Sprinklez/etccommand for the inspiration and some drawing elements for this particular variant, much appreciated). A training version with defensive aids suite/countermeasures removed is used for the training of C-130J pilots and aircrew.

The US Army operates the aircraft for organic tactical airlift and utility roles in support of forward deployed forces such as in Europe and the Middle East. US Army C-27Js are also used by various state guards/militias for domestic support roles (such as in Alaska or in support of the USACE), by USASOC for special forces support roles, and by the US Army Airborne School at Fort Benning for paratrooper training.

Finally, the US Navy operates a number of specially modified HC-27J Ocean Sentry aircraft for maritime SAR roles such as rescue co-ordination, airdrop, and patrol as well as in a secondary MPA role. Basic C-27J models are used by both regular and US Navy Auxiliary Reserve Fleet Logistics Support Squadrons for regional airlift and utility roles transporting personnel and equipment, as well as by Fleet Marine Logistics Support Squadrons for USMC troopship roles.

[edit: minor corrections, recolouring on MC-27J wings, fuel tanks on MC-27J and HC-27Js, and maritime search radar on HC-27Js.

Nice work, I never tire of seeing C-27Js!

An interesting design, any backstory to this?

Didn't really think of any backstory for the car itself, though the world it's from is from one very different one form our own, with the Atlantic Directorate for example being what would be the US and Canadian east coast as an example. Oh, and the world has a supernatural problem too.

USA, Pilatus C-47A (PC-24)

A notional replacement for the USAF's Learjet C-21s, which are all 40+ years old, based on the Pilatus PC-24. The PC-24's cargo door and unimproved/soft field capability makes it more capable than the C-21 in many ways.


USA, McDonnell Douglas C-9A Nightingale (Model 2086)

Basically what if the DC-9 ended up being built in the earlier Model 2086 configuration and the USAF still bought it as a medical transport.


USA, Boeing 777-200ER (Allegheny Heritage Scheme)

An American Airlines 777-200ER in a fictional Allegheny heritage paint job, pretty self-explanatory.
