One of our jets (Gr7) was brimstoned up for a hangar trial prior to Maverick arriving. Looked mean but the 'leaping heap' probably wouldn't have got airborne with that many. ;)

Our outrigger pylons were AIM-9 stations iirc..

Yes, but don't appear to be too vain when dissing my spelling :megalol: (makes an excuse about auto spell check and shuffles off...).

There's two, perhaps three different Spitfires in the Kermit bit, at least one clipped wing and one with wingtips.both Merlin and Griffon powered.

Does the wind vein on the nose work in-game?

The nozzles are usually used for decreasing takeoff distance and to land vertically or in a reduced run on. They can also be moved during normal flight, for example, if you need to decelerate in a dive or during combat as part of a last ditch break maneuver. In game perhaps the nozzle function could be set to a rotary or spare throttle, this would be usefull as sometimes you may need to use more than 82 degrees (stable hover) of nozzle and push into the breaking/hover-stop (96-98 degrees? iirc). :joystick:

Thanks for the vid, was on the wing of the f-15 in the M2K (with nose cone..), it got a bit laggy so pushed off up North solo later on.

We used to called them tusks back in the day..:music_whistling:

Not sure about the AV8B EW (ECM) in particular, but if it is anything like the one in the UK version then it was very good (for the time). Any more updates? :)

It's not advisable to carry small children on the nose, apart from covering the flir and vane they tend to fod the engine when they whistle down the intake.

Pendant pedant...damn you extra n! :) Where did I say RAF Harriers shot anything down? As for the Jag...agreed - very, very lucky.

Pendant mode: AV8A better describes the British ground attack GR.1 (GR.3 by 1982). AV8B later. RAF pilots last air to air kills were during the Falklands war while on exchange with the Fleet Air Arm. Pendant mode off. ;)

Nice. Loving the nautical version of the NSW Kandahar approach on your last run.

Just set up a forward base on a short road, car park or temporary matting and STO out with a decent load and fuel.

UFC is very useful for back up when 'the brick' fails to load properly.

When our jets left Edmonton after a Maple flag ex, one of them lifted a section of runway and blew it away. Previous to that we'd managed the same trick with some German F-4F tanks at Goose bay..our expected invite to the German bar was slightly delayed :music_whistling: :lol:

Nice. Back in 1996 a RAF Pilot ejected as the flaps stayed down as the nozzle came back in. They are still the only survivor of this type of accident.

You might want to recharge the nose leg oleo, it looks a bit flat. Great stuff, looking forward to the Harrier.

RRs Mk.XIX have that, I think this one is/was based at Humberside and didn't, so may have been a flypad kneeboard gps..

Happy New Year!

Both Bob and Charlie flew Spitfires, Bob in the Battle and Charlie at air shows. Their opinion is still vastly more believable than that of 'book' experts. The carb problem on a Spit was well known and the guys flew around the problem. As for the 109? No idea, never worked on them.

Nice landing! It's close now...
