Even the -33(?) that looks like a platapus... in fact, isn't that what it's called?


don't remember which variant the Platapus is but the -33 is the nval variant, folding wings/tailplane, arrestor hook, shortend tail boom, refueling probe and canards  8)

as to whether or not thier real I'm pretty sure they are, I've seen pics simillar to the first one and they really are as close as they look, as to the second the aircraft on our left is trailing the one on the right.
