Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

In the UK, on Channel 5 tonight, in the series "Heroes of the Sky", the history of the Tuskegee pilots.

Superb and fascinating!

 

Tragically, the first pilot to do a check ride in a P51C crashed whilst doing a slow roll over the airfield. "He had not read his checklists thoroughly, it was forbidden to do aerobatics with a full rear fuel tank"

I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed the program about the Tuskegee Airmen lastnight. It was very well presented, the animation was excellent (Far superior to 'Red Tails' - the aircraft were actually believable!) and, of course, the interviews with the veterans were excellent. Definitely worth a watch if you can find it! ( I must admit at being quite surprised at what a good job Lord Ashcroft did as the presenter).

 

It was thoroughly disheartening to hear that when these men returned, after fighting for their country, they were segregated immediately after stepping off the boat back home. I'm just glad that many of them have lived long enough to see the change in attitude and have been given the respect and admiration that they rightfully deserve.

I know it's not where the phrase originated, but I just live love that scene from 'Empire of the sun' as the Mustangs come in straffing and Christian Bale screams "P-51, Cadillac of the skies!!!"

I think the expression Cadillac of the skies first appeared in 1987 in the movie "Empire of the Sun"

 

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092965/quotes

 

Okay...curious if this was phrased..during the second world war by someone who flew the P-51D Mustang...

 

So it was only in recent years after the war this phrase came to light...:thumbup:
