SpudmanWP Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 There is an important "first" related to this:
sinelnic Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 "Receiving the type designation S-14, this Fokker was in fact the first jet-trainer in the world designed as such." I need to sleep... would somebody be kind enough to post the new question?

sinelnic Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 I followed your hunch but the carts tend to have a different shape... I'm researching seaplanes right now... dang this is hard!

SpudmanWP Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) The R-80 http://www.airshipsonline.com/airships/r80/index.html DAMN, that was hard :) Outside View: Edited October 6, 2009 by SpudmanWP
topol-m Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 ^^^ At least the gondola shape looks like the one we are searching for ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
sinelnic Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Well indeed, only this one was a british airship, the R80, and the strange gondola "bullet-shape" seems unique to this model only. You're a naughty boy, Namenlos! Now, this plane, took part in a rather ridiculous war. The question is, what is the milestone this war meant for aviation?

CE_Mikemonster Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 The question is, what is the milestone this war meant for aviation? it was the first 'ridiculous' war involving this plane. Too many cowboys. Not enough indians. GO APE SH*T
CE_Mikemonster Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Thankyou thankyou thankyou, i'm here all week gents :) Too many cowboys. Not enough indians. GO APE SH*T

sinelnic Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Oh Mr Topol, much obliged! Mind if I do accept your generous offer, since I took the time to already post a question (about the ridiculous war on this same page), and it would be a shame to let that effort be wasted, now wouldn't it? 1 Westinghouse W-600 refrigerator - Corona six-pack - Marlboro reds - Patience by Girlfriend "Engineering is the art of modelling materials we do not wholly understand, into shapes we cannot precisely analyse so as to withstand forces we cannot properly assess, in such a way that the public has no reason to suspect the extent of our ignorance."

SpudmanWP Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Honduran P-51(D?) from the Football or Soccer war (1969) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_War
topol-m Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 ^^^ Jesus :doh: And i thought the roundel on the aircraft was that of the Greek Air Force. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
SpudmanWP Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 So did I until I zoomed in to the flag on the tail. After comparing it to the combat history of the P-51, it made sense.
CE_Mikemonster Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 The Salvadoran Air Force (El Salvador lacked sufficient military air equipment, resorting to the use of passenger airplanes with attached vessels strapped to their sides as bombers) attacked targets inside Honduras, including the airport facility at Toncontin and other strategic places, leaving the Honduran air force almost unable to react after dropping more than 22 100-pound bombs. The Honduran air force's reaction included bombing the Ilopango military airport facility with four planes, but the Salvadoran military was ready and repelled the attack. Three Honduran bombs were dropped, with only one exploding and missing the targeted airport facility. During the war, the Third Military Zone of the Honduran Army was discovered to have only half of its allotted soldiers. The money for the missing troops had been collected by an allegedly corrupt Honduran Army officer. Lmfao Too many cowboys. Not enough indians. GO APE SH*T
topol-m Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) ^^^ Huge Lol :laugh: Sinelnic + 1 rep for the question. I`m not sure though that the exact answer of sinelnic`s question has been given. "What`s the milestone..." Edited October 6, 2009 by topol-m [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
