No need to make it sticky as new photos are added almost daily. It'll be a long time before this one gets stale. What's the point? There are few reference photos topics in the helicopter subforum about a subject of interest and no one is complaining about the fact that they must not be there. This sub forum is about jet Modeling and the subject of this topic is weathering of Hornet and other navy jets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) The point is, I was countering a suggestion to pin this thread with unassailable logic. Edited December 18, 2018 by Slartibartfast Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spike72 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Not sure if anyone else posted this. Appears that VFA-31 has taken VFA-147's place in CVW-11, at least temporarily while they transition. Interesting they go West and the CAG bird loses the color. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Finn Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 A bottom view of a Rafale, note the fuselage missile is missing a fin, it either fell off is is not there because it may get in the way of the flap: Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Here for comparison is other shot of another plane from a similar angle, https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/defense/2013-09-13/russian-missiles-indias-rafales And the missile fins are well clear of the flaps, see photo here, http://indiandefence.com/threads/france-had-rafale-jets-armed-with-scalp-missiles-ready-for-strike-on-syria.33777/ Edited January 18, 2019 by southwestforests Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also, I don't think its a naval Rafale. A B or C probably. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tosouthern66 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 There are a lot of rules regarding safety that were not followed while afloat. Not because we didnt want to but because we had to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
