Can anyone identify this aircraft?

[Dark Moment 0]

Whilst refining 2002 manoeuvres with the Red Arrows this week in preparation for forthcoming airshows in the States, I was lucky enough to grab this picture of an unidentified aircraft only a few hundred feet above our formation. Can anyone tell me what it is, please?http://www.swiremariners.com/tom.jpgMark "Dark Moment" Beaumonthttp://www.swiremariners.com/cxkaitak.htmlhttp://www.swiremariners.com/cxkaitakv3.jpg

Full marks, Mike, for sharing my warped sense of humour. Ah well, Tom, you'd better lock this thread ... sorry, I mean, lock the car when you get there.Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumonthttp://www.swiremariners.com/cxkaitak.htmlhttp://www.swiremariners.com/cxkaitakv3.jpg

Yo, now you're talking, Lizardo. Shigeru Tanaka is THE MAN. Like me (but far cleverer) he must have been dropped on his head when he was a baby.Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumonthttp://www.swiremariners.com/cxkaitak.htmlhttp://www.swiremariners.com/cxkaitakv3.jpg

I'd forgotten about Taro in FS2000. I've had a daughter since. I dropped him into FSEdit, this morning, added some effects and tried him out from Dog Leg, Nebraska. Where else? He still flies like a dog!http://www.swiremariners.com/taro.jpgIf any of you are unlucky enough to have missed Shigeru Tanaka's creations, go to:http://www.flightsimnetwork.com/shigeru/His site will change your outlook on life!Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumonthttp://www.swiremariners.com/cxkaitak.htmlhttp://www.swiremariners.com/cxkaitakv3.jpg

It's pizza delivery for the shuttle astronauts. I thought everyone knew about that.
