usafphantom2: Northrop has always put forth good fighter designs..Do you agree?

[captain-price-unofficially]

The Northrop YF-17 Cobra, developed in response to many in the fighter community believing that aircraft like the F-15 Eagle were too large and expensive for many combat roles.

New Transformers OCs

Earthspark Edition

These are two OCs that I made for other continuities originally, but these EARTHSPARK versions are the first ones if finished digitally.

Skyline is essentially Skywarp’s spark-twin, and she has the same outlier ability as them. She is in a trine with my OCs Overcast and Stormraiser. Their trine is all outliers and all female, and depending on the continuity they might all turn into a different type of aircraft. (Example, on one continuity skyline turns into a 117-nighthawk, stormraiser into a yf-17 cobra, and Overcast into an f-22 raptor)

And Contrail is originally for the MTMTE and Lost Light comic lines, and is essentially a human that got turned into a cybertronian by mistake. (She turns into the dragonfly ship from dune cause they look cool).

I’ll have versions without the names under the cut.

Northrop YF-17 Cobra

[airmanisr]

72-1569 1974 Northrop YF-17A Cobra USAF Western Museum of Flight Hawthorne California 12.08.99 by Phil Rawlings Via Flickr: Designed to take part in the USAF Light Weight Fighter contest, it's opposition being the F-16 from General Dynamics. Despite positive reports on the YF-17 the F-16 was chosen and only two prototype Cobras were ever built.

[planesawesome]

On this day: 46 years ago, company pilot Henry “Hank” Chouteau made the maiden flight of the Northrop YF-17 Cobra at Edwards AFB, California (June 9, 1974). Although the YF-17 was not selected as the winner of the Air Force’s Lightweight Fighter program, it nonetheless became the progenitor of the Navy’s F/A-18 Hornet.

[vbeserk]

Northrop YF-17 Cobra was a prototype fighter built to participate in the USAFs Lightweight Fighter (LWF) evaluation program although it lost to the YF-16 (now F-16 Fighting Falcon), it was selected by the US Navy via the Naval Fighter Attack Experimental (VFAX) program, it underwent some modifications and it entered service as the larger F/A-18 Hornet, now fully converted for naval operations.

Naturally, the USAF’s F-16 Viper Demo Team was going to make full use of the pyrotechnics display during the Vietnam combat search and rescue (CSAR) demo for their own photo shoot!⁣ ⁣ Though the F-16’s official name is the Fighting Falcon, pilots and crews call the sleek jet the “Viper”. The name Fighting Falcon came from the USAF Academy’s mascot. ⁣ ⁣ Before the official name was selected, the early cadre of F-16 pilots at the jet’s first base, Hill AFB in Utah, had come up with some ideas, one of which was Viper, but the competitor to the F-16 in the Lightweight Fighter competition, the Northrop YF-17, was called the Cobra. That early group of F-16 pilots settled on the Viper name and at the time, the original Battlestar Galactica series was on TV and the space fighters on the Galactica were called Vipers.⁣ ⁣ The YF-17 Cobra was later developed further when Northrop teamed up with McDonnell Douglas to create the F/A-18 Hornet.⁣ ⁣ While the Fighting Falcon name made sense with the F-16 seen as a complement to the larger F-15 Eagle, the Viper nickname stuck. The Viper Demo Team is based at Shaw AFB in South Carolina and the pilot in my photo is the 2017-2018 demo pilot, Captain John “Rain” Waters.⁣ ⁣ November Aviation Photo Challenge | @kjdphoto1971 | #1119planes | “Pyrotechnics” | Day 5⁣ ⁣ #Avgeek #aviation #aircraft #planeporn #KAFW #AFW #AllianceAirport #FWAAS2017 #AllianceAirShow2017 #airport #planespotting #Lockheed #F16 #FightingFalcon #ViperDemo #instagramaviation #aviationlovers #aviationphotography #mil_aviation_originals #instaaviation #aviationlovers #aviationphotography #flight #AvGeeksAero #AvGeekNation #AvgeekSchoolofKnowledge https://www.instagram.com/p/B4e6PUYh9cL/?igshid=kszz7t26j64h

21 August 1974. First flight of the second and last prototype Northrop YF-17 ("Cobra") 72-1570. Lightweight fighter aircraft for the USAF's Lightweight Fighter technology evaluation program. Powered by two 14,400-pound-force General Electric YJ101-GE-100 afterburning turbojets.

Northrop YF-17 Cobra. It competed for a place in the Air Force against what would become the F-16, and was later picked up by the Navy and developed into the F/A-18

New transformers oc!

More info about her and closeup pics under the cut

She’s a deception seeker, but smaller than most of the others taking the kit form of a light fighter jet (yf-17 cobra). Before joining the deceptions she was a scientist and an inventor.

If you have any more questions you can send in an ask, but make sure to specify that it’s about her.

I will disclose her relationships later, so keep an eye out for those 👀👀

Here are close up photos…

She is my child
