Description
What happens when two aircraft of differing models fall in love? The results can be wonderful, and unanticipated.

This is Alvar Lindholm, referred to as 'Alvin' by his friends. He is roughly a 60% F-16 and 40% Saab Draken mix. His father, Waldemar, immigrated to the United States from Sweden with his family at a very young age. Being a foreign model, he stood out easily and loved nothing more than lighting his afterburner and breaking the sound barrier. As a child, Waldemar met Jayla Cartwright, an F-16C while living in Michigan. Also an adrenaline junkie by nature, the two became fast friends and did everything together. It came as no surprise that the pair fell in love and eventually married. When passions flared, their efforts were rewarded. Standing beside his wife like a steadfast soldier, they were blessed with a son.

However, they were greeted with something they did not expect. Their son was a hybrid, a rather bizarre cross. He had a basic F-16 frame and GE F110 engine, but a Saab's cranked arrow delta wing. Naming him Alvar, he too was an adreanaline junkie by nature. Early on, the United States government expressed interest in him. Agreeing to allow their son to be evaluated upon reaching the proper age, he exhibited astounding flight characteristics. None of his friends could keep pace or outmaneuver him, especially at subsonic speeds. At 15 years old and codenamed 'Bluefin' by his blue tail, he was evaluated and left his evaluators dumbstruck. Four feet longer than a normal F-16, he possessed astounding aerodynamic characteristics, including supermaneuverability and the ability to supercruise. He made even the finest F-16's look pitiful in comparison. Ultimately, the military expressed no further interest due to the cost of bringing him up to military specifications and the lack of compatibility with existing models.
