Hello freedomman and welcome!
Good try on the Meteor but no to both suggestions I'm afraid. However, you've got the correct service with the F-14 (and it's not the Iranian AF!).

Cheers for the welcome - long time lurker due to being unable to post on ARRSE at work!
Looked through a couple of books now and realise that the first is the Japanese trainer variant of the 'Okha' suicide jet (K1 Kai)
Second, obviously US carrier based (arrestor hook and grey blue paint-job), but buggered if I can work it out.
Unsure on F-15, intake doesn't look as deeply canted. Stand by to be corrected, however!

I concur with MDN's 'Super Horny' (Freudian slip?).
Squared intakes threw me completely, damnit.

Goon...you're being one!
Freedom...
Outstanding first kill for a lurker!! It is indeed the 'Cherry Blossom' tandem trainer, the MXY7K-20. I wounder how many people got recoursed on the OCU?! Stick with us freedom!!
Mits,
You're not a pup, even though the D is not a 'Super'. It's actually an F. The E/Fs always look strange in sqn marking for so long associated with the F-14.
Next...

Archie is, inevitably correct with the floating F4F ... "Wild Catfish" according to my sources too!

F-4 Phantom.
Apologies on the mistaken ID with the F-15!
