Balls . . . Joints . . . Feels like a medical screening!

As far as I know - AGM-12B, C & E.

That is stunning. Love the display base too. Excellent work Sir.

With a 29SQN Phantom also! Nice, very nice.

Agile Eagle was to investigate whether slats of varying configurations would be beneficial to the embryonic F-15, as it turned out the F-15 didn’t need slats at all, so the beneficiary was the Phantom - on which several slat types were tested.

Yes, yes & YES!!!

The Keflavik birds were some seriously smartly presented aircraft. Always immaculate.

Perfectly put chap.

Whilst i agree that the forum as a whole should be neutral and impartial, certain colors are just that - colors. It is not a Nazi symbol, which is frowned upon in pretty much every corner of the earth. Its just colors. There is a flag in my avatar - would i be considered to have become political?

Depends if the crew “get on” , if not then you can call him “the last flare I’ll ever need”.

Wasn’t that generally the title of the EWO’s in the weasel?

And a fatter ar5e, but then the ass always gets bigger once an animal gets ‘Speyed’ lol.

I’m generally not a fan of “what if” type liveries. But this really works - it suits the airframe well. Kudos!

Yep.

It would have had a cable for sure, but I think the runway was extended just before the Phantoms got there.

Very nice! And I’m same - modelling the aircraft I have piloted. I’ve never took up the baton with regards to RC, that’s potentially a lot of money to go bang on first flight! But some of those aircraft though - wow! Years ago I was seriously thinking about it after a friend showed me his BVM F-4, was huge! Had to be somewhere around 7 feet in length and had 2 mini turbines. Only thing that spoiled it was the aircrew figures - looked like the midget Air Force.

Call him “Chauffeur” instead

Very nicely done. I have a 1/32 Tornado GR1 still in the box where it’s been for about 4 years now! Need to re-arrange my ‘me’ room a bit before starting it so I have somewhere suitable for it to be once complete.

Think your timeframe is correct, RAF F-4 got them early ‘82.

Both. Worth reading - https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/policy/army/fm/1-112/fm1-112.pdf

Terrain/environmental masking, pop-up to attack, limit your visibility to the enemy, plan your ingress and egress routes to maximise use of terrain.

Scoundrel ! !

I’m guessing a real-world application, likely a show car sort of thing.

Every move you make has a calculated risk. Minimum burner is solely to deny a visual pickup. Why make it easier for your foe? The ideal would be if your element/flight has a large-ish height split, to compound the enemies problems. A forward quarter heater can be dealt with by a sound and timely countermeasure deployment and evasive counters. If you expect to be shot at its not a surprise when it comes, and can be dealt with clearly and quickly because you have practiced many times before. And - for the most part, those whom we expected to go against didn't have 9 Lima's or Mike .
