😀 ill try to find out where that exclusion zone is 😀 shouldnt take long…

Any one got acess to jeppe ???

I where is the originator? Doesnt the UK have a EG for its ICAO?

The Tomcat also had Avionics problems, i.e. bugs. i had a Issue of Atari ST format from the 90’s when they did a special on virus and computers etc etc.. talking about evolution of computing power and how it effects life etc etc..

But basically it said the earlier models had “Bugs” that needed to be ironed out.

But my facination started in Junior when i used to collect Aircraft of the world and another series of magazines, They did a Special on the F-14 and even had a centre page poster of it with the Phoenix.

I didnt see top gun until way later..

traditional story or group of stories told about a particular person or place. Formerly the term legend meant a tale about a saint. Legends resemble folktales in content; they may include supernatural beings, elements of mythology, or explanations of natural phenomena, but they are associated with a particular locality or person and are told as a matter of…

So the Tomcat, the legend that is.. 🙂

i have those on my wallpaper list already.. great pics

Since the center of the 90’s France works on the AASM program. A goal is the draft and the development of a module family at kostenguensigen precision condition off guided weapons, particularly for the new French combat aircraft Rafale. Existing unguided bombs are to be equipped with seekers and steering devices, folding up bearing areas and also with rocket boosters for range increase.
Original objective was a module family those the range of the 125kg, 250kg, 500kg and 1.000kg bombs covers, and these with altogether five different seeker variants (GOVERNMENT INSPECTION DEPARTMENT/IN; Government inspection department/in/cIr picture; Anti-radar; TV/Datenlink; Synthetic Aperture or millimeter wave radar image) to be combinable should. Depending upon a type of goal, weather conditions and attack height the weapons are to be addressed then either perfectly autonomously (fire and forget) their goal or be provided for higher precision with “one in the loop” a control up to the impact.
The current efforts in the AASM program concentrate on the 250kg variant (US “Mk 82”) and two associated seekers (GOVERNMENT INSPECTION DEPARTMENT/IN; Government inspection department/in/cIr picture). SAGEM was assigned in September 2000 a EUR 300 million contract this development. If this development is final, the inventory is to be extended upward – with the ultimative goal of a 1.000kg bomb for strongly hardened goals.

The common program of French air forces and naval pilots plans altogether 3,000 Kit’s, of it 750 for the Navy. On the first distribution of the government inspection department/in variant starting from 2005 one counts, 2006 are to follow the government inspection department/in/cIr picture variant.

The AASM kit consists of a seeker part with four fixes to conducting surfaces and a tail part similarly the “Paveway III LGB” with four folding up control surfaces and a booster. From large height (45.000 ft) thrown off ranges to 60km, from lower heights to 15km are to be possible. The maximum deviation of the government inspection department/in variant is 10m, which amount to the electrooptical-led variant 1m.

The Rafale is to carry and with only one overflight/flyover on 6 different goals to throw off be able 6 of these bombs on two three-fold carriers.

GROO why ? what was the point in that?

ooh look another conical nose cone..
