lucky you guys will be there… 🙂
me, no way in hell, i’m stuck at work, although i have my own airshow everyday, its “the other side” what burns my soul with curiosity and desire 😀 (didnt knew i was a poet 😀 )
if you can, ask the guys at mikoyan, what are they gonna do with the Peruvian Mig-29’s 😮 :diablo:
Camaro.

thanks brother, its always good to read you 🙂
sexy burger 😀
there was not too long ago a pair of M’s showing off in Venezuela, i think they liked it 😎
dionis. (is it dionis or adonis?)
the main diff between the SMT and the M, is the much lighter Al-Li structure of the M, against the more conventional of the SMT wich comes from 9-12 or 9-13 airframes.
srbin, you’re right, they can have very soon if they want SMT’s based on their 0 hrs time Migs on surplus and pay about dirt cheap, as an example…
i’d love to have a 0 hrs time 1969 Camaro with the ZL-1 (427) engine with a T-56 transmission (6 spd) and a wild CD-MP3 player… my dream machine, (besides the Mig-29 😀 )
Camaro.
Jonesy brother… 😀
i’ve got one stupid that matches or even surpases duncan sandy’s for his decision…
the name of “that other thing…” john defenbaker (or whatever the hell way of writing that) for canceling the Avro Arrow. (Canada) he argued “exactly the same” :rolleyes:
may those 2 “individuals” roth in hell :diablo:
Camaro.
exactly my dear srbin.
in fact i’m pretty sure that some upgrades were done by israel but i dont know to what extent, i think they can fire P4 or something as such.
about the Zhuk radar, i think it could de done (anything can be done with a loaded wallet 😉 )
Camaro.
that could be done IF fuel economy its not an issue.
let me explain, in the long run, say cruise, by tweaking the FBW, it in response to the lighter nose, will make an input to the elevator for a slight “nose down input”, so you can flight straight, but cruising with slightly deflected flight controls induces a slight drag witch induces also a slight fuel burn increase.
see airbus for example, they had the bright idea of using the horiz stab as fuel tank also, so the computer keeps a balanced fuel qty. on the tail as a trim, (they call it trim tank) so the horiz stab doesnt have to be moved from neutral ( or really close to it) reducing deflection/drag/fuel consumption.
NOW here’s where i’m lost 😀 , i dont know if the Su-xx has a trim tank also :confused:
now i need some love to relax 😀 (being thinking way too hard 😀 )
Camaro.
All of them should have had N011 radars if any was fitted, except for 712 which had the N011M Bars. Now, whether or not they retained those systems in the display aircraft is another issue entirely.
i’d say so because, 600Kg less on the nose will alter like hell the CG. it would have to be compensated with something… :confused:
BTW, thanks a lot guys fon the enlightment on the RK. 😉
Camaro.
human error
thanks guys. 🙂
it seems now, after the questioning of the other 2 pilots (formation of 3) that flying so low and so fast with that kinda’ weather, was the cause of the accident, the practice should have been postponed, God knows what forced them to proceed :confused:
may their souls keep flying in “aviator’s heaven”
Camaro.
Very sad news. And so close to Christmas. Hope God can comfort the families and relatives from both officers.
Sad news.
my dear brother, thank you for your words. 🙂
now, the possibility of human error is being discussed, it seems that the low ceiling factor is being considered as a contributing factor and the guys had…no time.
but still, if the leader did fall, how come the others didnt follow in such a short time? one thing is for sure, the other 2 Sukhois, climbed “the hell out of there”.
Camaro
dear friends, whats the Flanker type used by the “russian knights”? some friends say Su-35 because the canards but i’m in serious doubt.
can somebody please, enlight me? 😀
thanks to all,
Camaro.
The mexican air forve has some cool videos, we have seen them here on this forums
Camaro.
thakns to all guys. 🙂
Francis, Peru had in the past a very large air force, but sure it had to be “payed with money”, so now the inventory its being reduced to something more according to “the reallity”
the inventory had about 10 years of neglect (spare parts etc) so everything was reduced to a “less than minimum” status, its just now that funds are being diverted to correct this situation but in a much more efficient way. 😉
Camaro.
😮 SOB 😮
beautiful, man you got it !, congratulations and thanks for sharing them.
Camaro.
1- goldendragon:
yes bro, like it or not it appears that they are, i just wonder, what if an alien force comes more powerfull than them? will this raise their “paranoia” levels to the “infinite”? 😀
2- hyperwarp: very good one 😀
3- as for me, it started to sound like star wars, you know?, “The Empire Strikes again” ? in this case we know “who” the empire is 😀
Camaro.
so my friend SENS
would you say that KE-007 was right in “ignoring the man with the gun”? and the Su-15 pilot was wrong in firing?
remember, the Sukhoi pilot spent full 20 minutes (in the air thats a helluva long time) trying to convince KE-007 to comply, so why didnt he?
doesnt it seem a little bit “too much” suspicious? this whole incident?
but look at the aftermath, the whole world was mad against “the evil comunist empire” :dev2: , and ronald reagan did profit like never before from this “particular” incident, remember?
all i can say is…something stinks deeper than our eyes can see
Camaro.
seems that “the mightiest power in the universe” :rolleyes: is in the “berrinche” mode? (berrinche is an old spanish word used to describe “hysteria” 😀 )
make no mistake, i’m not talking about the american people, i’m talking about george w. and his gang 😉
i think europe should continue “AS PLANNED” 😎
Camaro,
