this design to lockheed, then I’d laugh too. But he’s not. He’s building it
to make flying noises out of the right side of his mouth, and shooting noses
out of the left as he makes a pass on his cat.

Yes, Crimson Skies IS fictional, but it operates on the premise of an alternate
earth reality and the level of technology is supposedly that of the WWII era. So
even an alternate reality has to have physical and technological realism. That’s
the paramount limitation that forces the designer to come up with something that
kicks ass in both form and function. So I think Jon’s MOC is cool in form but
not in function. It’s more comical than practical when compared to other CS
airplanes I’ve seen. But, hey, my opinions are as good as farts in the wind.
