weasel75 Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Sorry for spinning your world back out of order ;) Tom Cruise owns and flys Mustang, N51EW, "Kiss me Kate". Must deny, can not accept! Really - how on earth can one enjoy flying, knowing that a Mustang called "...Kate" is out there?! Pilot aside ;) basic for translators ...
aaron886 Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Really - how on earth can one enjoy flying, knowing that a Mustang called "...Kate" is out there?! Pilot aside ;) Because that's how we name American warbirds? Why begrudge Tom his ride? He found a love for flying and has the dough to support it.

Moa Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Because that's how we name American warbirds? Why begrudge Tom his ride? He found a love for flying and has the dough to support it. +1 aaron886. Well spotted. How can someone have had enough interest in aviation to join these forums and completely miss the fact that most warbirds are very frequently named after saucy women or have them painted on the side? Is "Enola Gay" too lame for you weasel75? despite it being the meanest individual bomber used in anger (if we are callous enough to go on bodycount alone). Is "Glamorous Glennis" also too lame? despite it being the first controlled supersonic aircraft? Don't worry weasel75, I only mean to tease you, please don't take this too seriously. Have a look around for famous named aircraft on the InterWebz, you'll find a lot of great names - and some funny ones too. Edited March 13, 2012 by Moa

swift Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Great video Phantom88 thanks! I really like Red Flag recordings like those you can find over lazygranch I went a little further and extracted the audio of the video you posted and converted it to MP3, so I can use it as radio chatter in the background.

topol-m Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Beautiful photos, Namenlos. What is this thing attached to aircraft on the 7th pic? It looks like the conformal fuel tanks the new F-16 versions use. Never seen a Sukhoi jet with such before. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

vtsgoose1606687932 Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) Tragic news. Here is a photo i found: Seeing the red colors it is obvious it is a jet from the Turkish Stars. Here is the article: http://www.todayszaman.com/news-274131-military-jet-crashes-in-central-turkey-one-pilot-dead.html My thoughts are with Ümit Özer's family and friends.
