Someones got a date at the wash rack!

By any chance, does anyone have a spare little folding fin that goes on the AA-9 missile?? I lost one to the carpet monsters!! I'll gladly pay for it!

OK here is a quotation from a paper entitled " A Comparative Analysis of Internal and External Solutions to Provide Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (ACMI) Functionality" at the USAF Air University Available here http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?Location=U2&doc=GetTRDoc.pdf&AD=ADA392048 The First ACMI Systems United States Marine Corps contracted with Cubic Defense Systems to design and build the first ACMI system for Yuma Marine Corps Air Station in 1973. The original system consisted of a series of seven ground-based tracking towers that communicated wi

yep give that man a cigar!! Its "special radome paint" In other words normal A/C paint can block radio waves.

That looks likes a real pain in the fool to change that light bulb!

Next time you transit BWI, send me a msg. I work there, let me know and we can get a cup of coffee and talk models!

Now the big question, when and how much???

Just do a google search for "Quality Assessment Form" and you'l get tons of hits you should be able to find something you can use.

Well it all depends, if the rack had a bad cart and just didn't fire the bomb is pretty safe its just like you've never dropped it. If for some reason the carts partially dislodged the shackles the bomb couls come off on landing but probably won't explode as the the fuse wouldn't arm. Still a very dangerous situation! and yes they would probably call in EOD. The most dangerous situation a pilot told me about, was he had just taken off at Ft.Drum (one of the few spots we could do lives on the east coast) he had a bird strike the bomb on station #2 and it managed to pull the arming wire from th

Ok Here's one of my old jet just back!

Good Looking jet you got there B-ONE !!!!!

Everything I've seen (which is just pictures!) suggests a overall 16473 scheme.

I think yo are a fan!!!

Mr. Paint sprays wonderfully on bare plastic. At least for me I sprayed the cockpit of my AMK MiG-31 last night. VERY impressed by these paints, just gotta to spray them at a low pressure!!!

Absolutely stunning!!

My Deepest condolences to you and your wife and your family... I'm so sorry!!

For the different engined versions that the aft fuselage has different profile and they looks like the want to be able to have the aft fuselage come off to display the engine. Also the seperate forward fuselage allow a two seat forward fuselage. But this is just my speculation.

Seen them on eBay for 66.98 from Hong Kong 16.00 shipping

Wow! It does seem to capture the "brutish" look of the late model fitters

I will try to grab some shots of my old jets when they get back home soon. I know they painted Mustaches on them for the deployment. Hopefully they'll keep their art til they get home at least.

I wonder if you could heat up the wingtip in some hot water and twis the tips to get the proper washout???

Nothing directed at you Sir, just people in general tend to speculate. Please I meant no offense!

What about the wingtip missile rails? Wasn't there some concern that they were not angled correctly on the wingtip?? If so can we just cut the launchers flush and reglue at the proper angle? or is the wing camber (curve) incorrect as well?
