Interesting , the peruvians use half underground shelters for their planes (F5M)
i believe some bases do but i’m not sure which of them, the one on the pic could be their home base but i was never there, so i can’t say.

thanks guys for the info, but…
it is still unclear if the Mig-29K for the indian navy will be 100% new airframes or just upgraded 9-12 or 9-13 or 9-17, or whatever, :confused:
to me it seems they will be new but nothing’s clear at all.
thanks again.
Camaro.
ok guys i need some light, please.
the word on the neighbourhood is that the K’s are nothing but navalized SMT’s (9-17) converted to K (9-47?), it seems confusing, because we are talking about new airframes and not old 9-12 nor 9-13 airframes.
or is it just the fact that it will not be aluminium – lithium alloy?
thanks to all my brothers… 😎

dear aurel
i agree with you, i just wish i had the money to upgrade FAP’s M2k’s to -5 ( or perhaps -9?) and stockpile averything from A to Z, from MICAS to RDY-2 and whatever can wear and tear from nose to tail, not to get surprised again. 😉

does anybody knows what happened with colonel Tomb from the north vietnamese air force?
ok we saw Randy Cunningham saying he shot him down, but did he survive? who knows?
i’d love to hear or read about him, that man knew how to fly and i have a very deep respect for him. 😎

ok hamburger man…
i’ve got it my hamburger brother, its no new colours on flex pics, is just the light at the camera that makes the paint on 047 look diferent (the 2 seatter) here goes another pic of 047.
this is gonna cost you a double wapper with a cold pepsi extra-large 😀

they were always two tone like the one SAPITO shared with us 1 or 2 pages berore, and the red and white on the tail, only clear pictures are very rare, thats all. or if it did…i didnt notice.
Camaro.
agreed brother, i think fach is making the wise choice. 🙂
Camaro.
when did your 29 get a new paint job…
no way jose, those aren’t FAP, that’s from mosairshow (i think) that’s all.
Camaro.
that’s why we go to square 1…
stockpile everything from A to Z (sure pay for it) because if you get surprised 😮 (like it did happened to Peru) you’ll be on your own (again as it happened to Peru)

Problem might have been that both sides operated French equipment.
all potential adversaries in south america operate Mirages in theis diferent versions.
Camaro.
Did I see wrong but did that Mirage 2000B have an IRST? (troung)
yes that’s what i meant with “optronique” sorry.
Camaro.
there you go linkin park 😀
note the smaller nose and the optronique above
Camaro.

Camaro
dear friends, Peru and ecuador are far from being nato partners, nor anybody’s partner nor gone against any nato partner, so whay did they (the french) failed to supply ???
