Riddle me this, SimHQ!
What plane is this?
Wings. High-mounted, variable, swept-back, and tapered with blunt tips. Engine(s). One turbofan inside the body. Rectangular, box-like air intakes forward of the wing roots. Single exhaust. Fuselage. Long and tubular, except where intakes give a box-like appearance. Long, pointed nose. Stepped canopy. Large, swept-back, and tapered belly fin under the rear section. Tail. Swept-back and tapered tail fin has a curved dorsal in the leading edge and an angular tip. Swept- back and tapered flats are high-mounted on the fuselage with angular tips.
When you have the answer I'll reveal a cool resource. 8-)

Only thing is.... Not a turbofan, it's a turbojet.

Awesome! Good job everyone. It just shows how easy and how fun quizzing each other can be. This resource is the Army's aircraft manual they use to train SAM crews. The USMC also trains there. Anyways look for FM 44-80. http://www.marines.mil/news/publications/Pages/order_ssic_01.aspx

What through me off was, "One turbofan inside the body." MiG-23/27 series are twin engined jets, aren't they?

It says "Public Distribution Authorized" so it shouldn't be a problem, and Tomcat has it in Canada. The server seems kind of figity sometimes, so give it time.
