Kusch Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 Winter is coming :D 2 Give me "flying telephone pole" (SA-2)!
Pilotasso Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 I think it can...just look at that..all those migs stuck on the ground. easy targets, wouldnt you think so? :D 1 .
Kusch Posted September 22, 2007 Author Posted September 22, 2007 Portuguese.... what do you know about real winter 2 Give me "flying telephone pole" (SA-2)!
-akyla- Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 i don't think so either:D russian planes are so idiot proof. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
ED Team Groove Posted September 22, 2007 ED Team Posted September 22, 2007 well, there are AB`s in Alaska and on Groenland, so maybe F-16 can do this too :D Our Forum Rules: http://forums.eagle.ru/rules.php#en

MoGas Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 Well I guess no F-16 can operate from a classic Russian AB (broken runway, missing parts on the runway, grass and little trees) :D!! 2

Witchking Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 lol! yeah....everyone has to agree. lol! thats one good thing about russian planes. They are little tin cans. Just fuel up and fly. Unlike the snazzy western jets which require all that maintenance and so on. lol! Well....I am biased towards my flanker...so lol!

leafer Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 What, they hook a snowplow thingie in front of a Mig and plow the field with full burner? Cool. :D ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P
Geier Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 Oh - Russian stuff)))) Did you expect anything else?:D LOL, but F16 has got no chance in this situation;)

Pilotasso Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 Somebody forgot to vacuum that runway. Just look what that dust did! :D .
Mugatu Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 Note sure about the F-16 but I would guess it went through the same testing as the F-22. Most of those migs were probably already grounded as well due to mechanical problems, thus getting stuck in the snow :P According to Brent Poulson, the F-22 combined test force climatic laboratory program manager, since the F-22 arrived at Eglin in early June, the Raptor has been subjected to cold weather tests such as -40 degrees with its engines running, and then -65 degrees without an engine run. "We had eight inches of snow on top of the aircraft and also performed a windblown snow test," Poulson said. About 70 people from Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., accompanied the aircraft here to analyze how the F-22 performs in weather extremes. "We've been planning these weather tests since at least 1987, and the tests are an extremely integral part of the program," said Brig. Gen. William J. Jabour, program executive officer for fighter and bomber programs for the assistant secretary of the Air Force. The general visited the F-22 CTF recently while attending a conference here.
SVK_Fox Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 As I know from our country during F-16 and Mig-29 cooperations, our migs taked off without problem from our military bases but after that, some crew have to clean runways for F-16. So the true is that F-16 is not able to start from classic runways before some clean up, or lets say THEY COULD BUT ONLY ONCE ;) 1
SUBS17 Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 Thats because the Mig29 has intake doors to prevent FOD and vents on the top. [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
graywo1fg Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 thats just for take off then? or taxing... Voice of Jester AI Death From Above =DFA= Squadron Discord - https://discord.gg/deathfromabove http://www.twitch.tv/graywo1f https://www.youtube.com/user/Lonewo1fg
RvEYoda Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 Thats because the Mig29 has intake doors to prevent FOD and vents on the top. Yep they are pretty nice. Curious why not more planes use these(or do they?) Seems like a very efficient way of not sucking stuff into engine. S = SPARSE(m,n) abbreviates SPARSE([],[],[],m,n,0). This generates the ultimate sparse matrix, an m-by-n all zero matrix. - Matlab help on 'sparse'
RvETito Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 Actualy the Su-27 family uses much more simple engine intake protections- a grill that deploys/raises when the nose gear lifts off/main gear touches down. Newer MiGs like the M/K/MK also have grills instead of this complex system. True, it fully closes the engine intake but also leaves no space in the LERXes that could be used for avionics/fuel tanks. And what is this that the F-16 can't take off from rough runways? Of course it can, but with it's lower intake location and lack of FOD protection it's pretty worthy to make sure the runway is as clean as possible to minimize the risk of damaging a few million dollar engine, isn't it? ;) When I first saw on video US ground staff with gloves and brushes walking on the ramp and cleaning every piece they could spot I was like- Whoooo! Loosers!- but after I started working IRL maintenance where every $ is precious not to metion few millions I found myself doing exactly the same. It's a question of how you take your job and the aircraft you're maintaining. "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=

Thats the point the can`t OPERATE (sure the F-16 can take off from a standart street as well but operating everyday would keep the F-16 in the hangar all the time and waiting for some engine`s) from bases like in RUSSIA.:D
