Gripen fighter aircraft exceeds 130 000 flight hours

First test flight scheduled for "the week beginning 7 December". http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8383212.stm

Doesn't props have higher acceleration at the start than jets? so it should be able to use a shorter runway?

Some great pics of the Typhoon there. Thanks for sharing!

Airbus beats Boeing http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8366858.stm

Great news. Can't wait to try the improved Su-25! The new model looks brilliant! (I'm still hoping for a fully simulated one in DCS though)

It contains -a lot- of interesting things! Thanks for sharing! I'd love to do something for DCS once the dev tools are released and this could be very helpful.

Another set of stunning pictures! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! That Su-25 footage is really good!

Thanks!

Photos of German Eurofighter Typhoon's on their recent trip to Aero India 2009. Higher resolution and more photos here: http://eurofighter.com/medialibrary/listing.asp?tagid=266

I think they had a completely different perspective on it than you and I do. They were nationalists doing -what they thought- was best for their country. There's no doubt many of the things Nazi Germany did was very very bad but in my opinion there's no such thing as evil... There's just interest vs interest... Of course the post-war propaganda from east and west would like people to think what they defeated was evil itself (the conqueror writes the history). I'm trying to look at it from a completely neutral stand point and I'm not at all trying to downplay all the very bad things that happened and I hope it's never allowed to happen again. Edit: I agree with CE, it's indeed not a good idea to start a debate on such a sensitive subject. You can bypass the language filter by using numeric character references to the unicode code points. For example replace the c in fu*k with & # 9 9 ; (without spaces in it).

Nice collection of photos. I don't think I had seen any german monuments like this before: (I guess they didn't have time to put anything fancier up there) Soviet ones for comparison:

That 30mm seems pretty useless. :doh:

You may very well be right about that. Mistakes were obviously made and one can speculate in how things would have been different. From the perspective of today and how history turned out, the quote is true though.

Such detail! Amazing!

"One of the great laws of war is Never invade Russia." - Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery I've seen a few slightly different versions of the quote but that's the one listed here: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Bernard_Montgomery

Interesting reading! Su-25 :)
