G.J.S

Yeah. Never saw them on USAF birds, but have seen them mounted on naval types, and mainly USMC aviation.

Weren’t Zuni’s a USN/USMC weapon? Always associated them with that rocket type anyway.

That’s some top drawer work right there!

Likely leave them in as a “last ditch” load, if sh1t and fan have met, aircraft take on a “throw-away” quality.

And the ejected brass would carpet a huge swathe of enemy trench troops below the aircraft

Fired round mass of 10 grams? From an air rifle maybe. Fired Round average is about 100 grams, and muzzle velocity was just over 1000M sec, SAPHEI a little higher. I distinctly remember scrubbing knots many off with a prolonged burst. edit: just realised you are on about 7.62 NATO. I meant Vulcan rounds.

Let’s all 21 rip . . . . . And fall out of the sky. The muzzle horsepower would far exceed the engines.

AF Phantoms had much lower MLG tire pressures, also the tires were wider. An Air Force F-4E could for sure land on a carrier . . . . . Once. The only way it would leave the deck again would be if it was shunted over the side.

XF4H-1.

Guess that is for the -120 on the Echo?

Yeah. Not a lot of ground clearance with these!

Some ground crew just never understand . . . . It’s dedication I tells ya!

Watched the flights linking up with tankers over my house in the West Country of England on their way out - was almost continuous rumbling for nearly an hour.

You owe me a new keyboard QWERTY & coffee don’t mix lol.

All look cracking , particularly like your “Jug”.

It - and a couple of others - did land on, and were shot off. Its not a mock up. Do you think it didn't happen?

VF-96 operated some flights to/from HMS Hermes in 1963. All aircraft made it back to USS Ranger, no “one-way gifting” of airframes.

Looks very good chap. A hell of a lot cleaner and with less scratches than the ones I’ve held!

Mr. Kazansky for the win!

If it’s true to the original, it’s going to require one heck of a runway length - or rely on earth curvature to get airborne

Now i know what a GR3 would look like trying to hold in a fart.

VERY impressive. Quality work on display here. Also like the display cabinet in view behind the bang seat, some fantastic looking small scale work there too! Kudos, you are producing a pit to be rightly proud of.
