Kusch Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 After almost 4 years Serbian Fulcrums are in the air again. Piloted by a Russian pilot over Batajnica. 1 Give me "flying telephone pole" (SA-2)!
JaNk0 Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Kusch, do you know why they were grounded 4 years? P.S. Lovely pic.! Rep 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

leafer Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Whoa! I didn't know real pilot use label. 1 ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P
GGTharos Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 With the helmet mounted displays it'll be all labels. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
VMFA117_Poko Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Whoa! I didn't know real pilot use label. lol I just wanted to write it :D 2
leafer Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 I know labels during peace time are a-ok, but for crying out loud, someone ought to tell this pilot to pick proper font and color - can't make out what it says. ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P

Force_Feedback Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 What is it with Russia supporting you? Not much to invade if you ask me. (that was the general question, I do realise Mig upgraded the Migs, and factory pilots are doing test flights) Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy:
RvETito Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 They did the same with bulgarian MiGs in 2007- according to NATO obligations we must maintain 16 planes (12 single seaters and 4 two-seaters) for air policing. The service life was extended up to 40 years, which ensures pilots training until new generation multirole plane is chosen, if ever. What's interesting about serbian MiG's is that Pavel Vlassov has been one of the test pilots to fly them after long grounding. 1 "See, to me that's a stupid instrument. It tells what your angle of attack is. If you don't know you shouldn't be flying." - Chuck Yeager, from the back seat of F-15D at age 89. =RvE=

I can not recall exact dollar mount, but we are talking few millions of dollars at least. Money well spent! As far as Russian support goes … I must not talk politics here. I was banned once.

TorwaK Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 How many will be operational? I don't think that Serbian Air Force have plentiful Mig-29 after Kosova war. As I read on wikipedia they've 5 units Mig-29B/UB fighter plane.
