Manuel_108 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I wonder why they refuel while in A/A mode with the Sparrow selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumpinK Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I wonder why they refuel while in A/A mode with the Sparrow selected. Maybe a radar-lock to scare the tanker-pilot a little. :D "Landing on the ship during the daytime is like sex, it's either good or it's great.

Roller25 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Once an FCI always an FCI :) Awesome mate! Massive amounts of envy. Ex-grunt here. Unfortunately for me of a military flying career slipped through the fingers. Got the call to attend flight screening in Tamworth a few years after I left the Army, but butchered my OSB performance. Anyhow, top pics. Don't be afraid to upload some more :smilewink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThorHammer Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I wonder why they refuel while in A/A mode with the Sparrow selected. If you look closer, you'll notice there is an X over the 7M, meaning, IIRC, that the weapons are safed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent90 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Thanks for sharing these pictures with us, I love the steam-gauged early 4-th gen fighters. A time when pilots were pilots, instead of pushing computer buttons and let the aircraft fly itself. And that lightly brass-colored nosecone, that brings fond memories back...
