Vekkinho Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 These pictures are taken back in '80s during Fulcrum's first demo visit to North America. Not alliance nor interception but preplanned demo flight. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

britgliderpilot Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Looks like a typical cold war intercept. Out of interest, since I don't know the location of airbases in Russia - from where would a MiG-29 fly from that it would be intercepted by a CF-18? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/britgliderpilot/BS2Britgliderpilot-1.jpg
OldFrankHog Posted January 28, 2007 Author Posted January 28, 2007 Well canada had 2 wings in germany from 1983 to if im not mistaking 1991. Ill check it out and come back with the exact dates. <----- 3 squadrons from 1985 to 1993 :) Join us today!!!
ED Team Alex Okean Posted January 28, 2007 ED Team Posted January 28, 2007 the Blue "315" is not airforce craft , it's plane of the Mikoyan corparation , used for testing and for international exhibitions , that means that shots are from Farnborough airshow , or another one :)
GGTharos Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Haven't you heard of wormholes? :D Out of interest, since I don't know the location of airbases in Russia - from where would a MiG-29 fly from that it would be intercepted by a CF-18?

BiggestPig Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Like GG said: Haven't you heard of wormholes? If the answer is no, you really should get to know our friend, John Titor :P And thank god no one noticed that those Hornets was actually Finnish! As you can see here, look at the markings... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_Air_Force And THAT's the real secret which OldFrankHog tried to mislead you from :P [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] AMD 4000+ @ 3000 ::: ATI X1950 XTX @ 702/1044 ::: 2G Corsair TWINX2048 3500LLPRO @ 500 ::: 21" Sony ::: Saitek X45 & P8000 ::: TrackIR 4 Pro http://www.355stalkingtigers.com

S77th-Dante Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 i suspect the pilot may not even be russian. at one stage the mig was piloted by a viper pilot, later interviewed by media about the comparison of the two aircraft. given a bit of serching im sure somebody may come up with that article.

OldFrankHog Posted January 30, 2007 Author Posted January 30, 2007 i suspect the pilot may not even be russian. at one stage the mig was piloted by a viper pilot, later interviewed by media about the comparison of the two aircraft. given a bit of serching im sure somebody may come up with that article. Two Hornets of 441 "Silver Fox" Squadron, a single seater (number 775) in the foreground and a dual in the background, fly wingman to a Russian MiG 29 Fulcrum over the Canadian Rockies enroute to the Mig's first public appearance in North America during the Abbotsford Airshow in British Columbia in August of 1989. The Mig, which is about the same size as the Hornet, was one of two (the other was a dual) which performed a 10-12 minute demonstration each day of the airshow. During one of these daily shows Maj. Bob Wade became the first Westerner to fly a Mig-29 fighter when he was invited to take the front seat of the dual and copy the manoeuvres of Mikoyan test pilot Valery Menitsky in the back seat during the airshow display.
