This is an example of serious protocol violation, if there is a protocol with FAP.

 

No tailcoding, no attempts of contact thru open channel, no visual signals given to pilot of misfortunate plane to follow and land, no warning shots.

 

Plane was flying steady, no evasive maneuvers by pilot, I wonder what made it seem "dirty"...

 

I'm not pointing the blain to neither side; both made mistakes; the language barrier played a roll; the airplane was close to brazil that is why they wanted to shoot it down before it had the chance to get away like some drug smugglers have done in the past; they were to quick to judge the airplane as a bandit; the CIA operators didn't think that the airplane was a smuggler; why they didn't press harder to try to stop the peruvians? maybe they though that the other side knew what they were doing; and that is the problem I see; they made an wrong assumption.

 

let me give you an example:

It is like when you are at you apartment at the middle of the city. You hear a girl crying for help at the street, you take a peek to see what's all that ruckus; you see other people looking from their apartment windows. It is dark and you can't see clearly what is going on; the noises continue; more apartment lights are lit; you think "maybe I should call the police" but you see all those lights on and people looking at the window, that makes you think "maybe somebody already called the police. The police must be on its way." the cries for help stop.

Everything returns to normality the lights of the apartment windows go dark again and you feel relieved that it is over. Maybe it was just a prank.

In the morning you see police cars all over the streets while you are getting out of your apartment building. An officer ask you if you saw something; you ask him what happened. He replies that a girl got raped and killed last night but they got a call this morning from a worker who saw the body while he was picking trash on the alley.

 

That is a case of wrong assumption. Are you guilty for not calling the police, because you though that somebody would have done it before you? I'll leave you decide for yourself.

Very sad video

[Cali]

Hey Cali, are You going turkey shooting? :D

 

Nope, gonna shoot some quails and maybe some ducks! Would be nice if I was back in Alaska and use it for Moose and Bear! Whenever I went fishing up there I had a baby eagle .45 I would carry with me, I think that 20mm would do a little more damage :megalol:

Nice. This February I'll see I have some time to learn fly fishing, wich is very unusual here in Portugal. I have some trout rivers nearby, along with other Cyprinidae :). I don't go fishing seriously for more then 10 years.

[Cali]

I haven't been in over 6 years, not very good fishing in Arizona and haven't went yet in Louisiana, a little scared of the alligators. I can't carry my gun on base while fishing, maybe I'll just bring a big knife!

Great shots Cali, can't rep you more.

 

I like the "special button" in there <^^>

[Cali]

Thx, I didn't take a pic of "that" special button. If your talking about the button on ther right side, that isn't the "one".

Erm which secret button? :suspect:

 

btw: the backseat looks "deadly", there isn't much in the USAF inventory which can't be guided on this screens

[GGTharos]

There's something conspicuously labeled 'Nuclear Launch Something Something' in that cockpit that Cali didn't photograph (Not sure it's a button though, might just be an announciator ;) ). Should be on the left side, IIRC - I've been in that pit :)

[RIPTIDE]

Ya it's labelled 'nucular'

[tflash]

 

Laser guided rockets are long overdue on the battlefield imho! Seems the logical thing to do!

Where are you at in Louisiana? We just had some guys (and jets) go to Barksdale for a couple weeks...

In the cockpit of an F16 it's on the right side, and labeled "Nuclear Consent" :P On our jets here it's usually locked with a locking-wire, and cannot be moved. Could quite possibly be the same thing.

Night Strike

 

The first night flight in the history of the Lockheed Martin F-35 Program was completed Jan. 18 at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. The mission consisted of a series of straight-in approaches in twilight and darkness. The pilot also performed an evaluation of the F-35's cockpit lighting which Ward called, "the best he's ever seen." The testing will clear the way for night refueling and formation testing later this year. (Lockheed Martin photo) (Lockheed Martin photos by Tom Reynolds and Darin Russell)

Members of the Russian Knights display team participate in the Bahrain International Airshow 2012 at Shakir Air Base, Bahrain Jan. 19, 2012. This event strengthens partnerships in the region and allows the United States and coalition and partner nations to work together to promote security, stability and mutual interests in the region. The U.S. Air Force showcased a variety of military aircraft through static displays, including the C-17 Globemaster III, C-130H Hercules, and F-15E Strike Eagle. Additionally, a large number of aircrew and support personnel from bases in Southwest Asia, Europe, and the United States were available to answer questions about the aircraft technology and capabilities.

Well, you don't see this very often...

 

Google translate:

Russian Knights returned home with the air show in Bahrain over the territory of Iran. One of the Knights - Sergei Shcheglov - sent me a photo flight over the country, where they were accompanied by Iranian fighter jets:

 

In turn, want to share emotions about the flight over the territory of Iran. Photos made ​​Erofeev, I flew on an airplane 04. Go ahead all turned out to be the first pair of "Phantoms", were such that at the time of the group to take. And of course, was peerless armed "to the teeth," "Tomket."

 

Under the cut I posted some of these unique photos and photos taken from the cockpit aft hand IL-76 ...
