According to "Air Forces Monthly", the last T-37's are at Sheppard AFB for Euro-Nato trainning and will retire by late 2008

Yep, that's the book. Page 103. Looking at it now. Looks like it is just the leading edge is green from the photo in the book. Steve

What exact day was it and what airport was it landing at? Steve

I think the F-89 is an "A" model. 49-2438 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Used on bailment for engine development tests to the Allison Engine Division of General Motors at Indianapolis, IN. *Assigned to the 2759th Flight Test Group, based at Muroc AFB, CA. *Assigned to the USAF 3077th Evaluation Group, based at Edwards AFB, CA. *2/15/1951: Damaged in a landing accident due to engine failure at Edwards AFB, CA. *Used as a support aircraft for the F-89H program. *6/1957: Given to Edwards AFB as a display aircraft.

Great,Thanks for all the replies.I got a hold on it now. Steve

Here is an excerpt from the new Air international Typhoon insert: "Some 148 aircraft were built in tranche 1,the last of the core nations was delivered on March 20,2008, a German twin-seater.Austria is to receive nine aircraft from tranche 1 production, with five having been delivered by the end of 2007." It looked like they used the term to combine block numbers. And then they talk about up-grading Tranche 1 aircraft to tranche 2 standards. Steve

For some reason the word "Tranche" is used to determine the build standard of the eurofighter. Tranche is a financial term so why do they use it for this aircraft? Steve

I asked that question before and never got a response. The oval tanks were never a production tank anyway.I've only seen FSD aircraft with the tank.Do you have a picture with a USNTPS that has the oval tank on it? Steve

There was one other difference.There was a retractable radar reflector in front of the nose gear under the nose.It was for the automatic carrier landing capability. Steve

I am familiar with the Misawa tanks for the P/F-80. What was the misawa tank for the F-84? Steve

It's to bad the ground photograper did'nt follow it to the end.

Great Aaron, Thank you Steve

I have a Tamiya 1/32 F-4J that has damaged parts.Whats the best way to get new clear parts,sprue "E" and a decal set? Thanks Steve

Has there ever been a resin or vacu-formed kit done of the strait wing one or two seat mock up the the F4H-1? http://www.boeing.com/defense-space/milita...s/d4e-62637.htm http://www.boeing.com/defense-space/milita...s/d4e-43697.htm

I agree with Dave.I just found a photo in the book;Modern Fighting Aircraft F-15.These were those large yellow books published in 1983.Photo shows the production line sometime in 1980 and shows F-15C's with white TEWS area.I think some time in the early production run for the "C" they changed from green to white. Steve

Look at 3:30 on this video. You can see the markings. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVG9xgHefzg...feature=related Also on the Aviation Week and Space technonogy cover on this site: http://www.wci-productions.com/infopg.htm Steve

I bought this kit on Ebay about 5 years ago. This is the only one I have ever scene.It is kit #4742 and was issued in 1984. Any one else have or is this thing super rare? Steve

I saw last year that hasegawa was going to release their TF-104 with the Lockheed demonstator paint scheme sometime soon.Now I can't find anything on it.I know I did'nt miss the issue.Any one know any thing? steve

You are correct sir. steve

USAF 42650 F-15 Weapons Load Crew Chief and trouble shooter.Luke AFB,1980-1984. Steve

I know what you mean about the injection molded one will pop up whwn you paid double for the conversion.I have heard of the conversion you are talking about but have never seen one.I will ask around though. Steve

There really is nothing special about the decals except the yellow "92428".Send me your email and I'll send you a photo of the decals.Steve

I'm thinking my chance of getting one is close to zero.I think that sometime the stuff will pope up again no matter what the owner said.Unless he is just going to destroy the inventory.

Any one know where one of these might be available? I saw the close out notice the day they closed down.I just have to have one. Steve
