mvsgas Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Talk to the T-Bird guys about that stuff, I wouldn't want to be apart of that team. I know bud, I know several guys in the team right now. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience.

It requires an SRB to launch it to space, then it just glides at mach 22 till reaching its target. Then what? No way its making it back to the US after gliding to a target. Wouldn't it be easier to just make a mach 22 missile? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Aaron i7 2600k@4.4ghz, GTX1060-6gb, 16gb DDR3, T16000m, Track IR5 BS2-A10C-UH1-FC3-M2000-F18C-A4E-F14B-BF109

59th_LeFty Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) No idea. Seems like there's no two alike. It's russian . . . this was out of question :) MiG-21 is not a low-rate production aircraft. Back in the 90's in my city we had thirteen UM (trainer) versions of them. None of them was identical :D Here's a funny pic - no, not before engine test: http://www.airfighters.com/photo_54900.jpg Edited August 13, 2011 by 59th_LeFty [sIGPIC]http://www.forum.lockon.ru/signaturepics/sigpic5279_1.gif[/sIGPIC] I could shot down a Kitchen :smartass:

mvsgas Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Namenlos Ein, Amazing, thanks. They actually let kids get on the cockpit? With and active ejection seat? And in the engine exhaust? Not signs warning about Foreign Object Damage? Cool, they are better than us.

Demokrator Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Looks like these cockpit hand holders very addictive:D. Awesome stuff btw. 1
mvsgas Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) AFAIK, it is a habit instilled on F/A-18 pilots. I think is to prevent the pilot from moving throttles in High G's or roll rates, not sure Edited August 15, 2011 by mvsgas To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Demokrator Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 AFAIK, it is a habit instilled on F/A-18 pilots. Most likely because it is very convenient to control the position of the body in the seat:).
Demokrator Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 This is my favorite scene in the whole movie.
mvsgas Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 I love how there is never ground crew on the movies, pilots just get in and it all magically happens. :D To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.
