Nev Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Great spot on the AAM-5 Tengu, I would never have seen that! I had noticed that 912 had disappeared for a while - wonder if it will get a repaint now, although the last couple of repaints have been copies of previous schemes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JackMan Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Nev, those are AWESOME!! Thanks for those! It looks like I was right when I first wrote a review for the Hasegawa F-2 kit quite sometime ago: http://www.fortunecity.com/meltingpot/port...3rd-squad-i.htm Some of the wilder F-2 schemes are only just starting to emerge Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Checksix Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Very very nice finfs guys, thanks a lot it's a real delight for me. Can't wait nearly each year Senkyo and was a little disappointed last years by the Senkoy schemes but the arrival of the F-2 Section is outstanding !!!!!!!! I'm gonna sell also one of my kidneys on eBay for the new Platz releases !!!!!! C6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tengu Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 Unfortunately, it seems that the F-2 Section has been cancelled due to foul weather Let's pray for fair weather in Komatsu from tomorrow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Checksix Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 You should be right Tengu, I've seen the Today's Photo of Mr. Keroyon's website at Nyuta and the weather was poor... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

6329tsur Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 so was there a F-2 section or was it cancelled? If it was on, does anyone know the outcome?? I think it would be very unwise to cancel the whole thing as it must of cost a lot of money in the first place to get from Misawa to Nyutabaru Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think it would be very unwise to cancel the whole thing as it must of cost a lot of money in the first place to get from Misawa to Nyutabaru Hi 6329tsur. Those pics posted by Nev dated 05/29 show both 3 and 6 SQs returning to their homebases (note baggage on the cockpits). I can confirm the Section was cancelled due to bad weather. Worst, the F-4 Section has also been cancelled for the same reason (apparently it was to be held at the same time in Nyuta). Edited June 1, 2009 by tengu Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can confirm the Section was cancelled due to bad weather. Worst, the F-4 Section has also been cancelled for the same reason (apparently it was to be held at the same time in Nyuta). I wonder if the 'weather' was just a convenient excuse. Could it be that the squadrons were recalled because of......... http://cndls.georgetown.edu/applications/p...%20cartoon.jpeg http://nigelparry.com/enginefiles/uploads/kin-jong-il.jpg http://www.insidesocal.com/tomhoffarth/87.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nev Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Really nice set of pics of all the F-15 participants. http://www.media-eyes.com/index/09-0605_news.html I like the 201 SQ bird with the sharkouth - best of an uninspiring bunch from the F-15s this year IMO (after the 07 stunners from 304 & 303) Some more F-2s http://blog.livedoor.jp/break_mania/archiv...6.html#20090617 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah Jackman, same as 6SQ F-2s on the F-2 Section -actually is their motto on fins - (note also both 8WG unit markings on right intake of 304SQ birds) Here's a couple a galleries more (click the pics to enlarge) 1 2 (a tribute to winner 306SQ Senkyo Team air/ground crews -1st formation, CO LtCol Sasaki 'SAKI' is on pic 03 along with wingman 1Lt Watanabe 'HADES '; 2nd formation is on pic 04: leader 1Lt Inoue 'J-DU' -I feel he took part as wingman in 2006 also with 306SQ- and wingman 2Lt Minezawa 'DICK' - ) Edited June 19, 2009 by tengu Quote Link to post Share on other sites
