a wheel assy. leaving the aircraft? 😮
yes its posible, it has happened before and it will happen again, but no wheel assy separates unless the “locking devices are not installed” whatever shape or form it takes (bolts/nuts, cotter-pins etc) if they are not there, it will lose the nut and the wheel.
this doesnt mean bad mechanics, bad maintenance has many forms such as philosophy or simply…no philosophy, the inhability to find out when fatigue is taking place among the techies, exessive pressure, lack of training etc are factors, one thing is for sure, the faster you order your techies to do it…the likely you’ll have problem.
now dont get me wrong, i am not saying anything about anybody (indian air force nor any other) honest mistakes are natural, we are only humans, but the system should de designed in such a way that will “filter” the “human factors” that will provoque yet another technically caused “incident”.
that’s my one cent humble oppinion.

Cesar?
you mean …Cesar Cruz?
i’m honoured, i’ve read you before and i have a deep respect for you 😎
keep up the good work brother 🙂
i’m trying to send you a private message, but your private mail is blocked, please check. 😀
thanks for making things clear, its good to know that finally something its being done.
the million dollar question is… what will the Migs get?
we’ll see in time. 😉
Camaro

it was here again yesterday (CYMX= Montreal Mirabel) i’ll bring my camara today and if we are lucky will take some pics to share 😉
(warning, its the cheapest camara ever, so dont expect super quality pics, i’m a poor man 😀 )

Same stuff as all the other (former) Soviet Su-25s, and i don’t think these were actually downgraded when they were sold to Peru. The MiG-29s surely weren’t, so why would the far less sensitive Frogfoot be monkeyfied?

you’re right Arthur, none of those were downgraded.
another, the KH-58 makes sense, but they are in stocks for a long time now, since the Su-22 can also fire it.
about the SEAD Su-25, thats good NEWS to me 😀 (i didnt knew)
nice pic Baphomet dude. 😉

well, it seems that our ruskiye druks 😀 have arrived..
i’ve read a few days ago that the work of reviving the transport fleet (aircraft and helos) will begin 2-morrow (monday) and after this is done will be the time for the combat fleet, got no idea about how long its gonna take :confused: but at least it will be done.

hey sapito, where are you??? 🙂 give us “da news” man.
can you please clarify these news? we have…”the NEED to know” 😀

i dont know bud, all i can see is the “shadowless” little friend about to…
Flyyyyy Hiiiiigh
back to real flying, there is another thread here about that machine, very nice by the way.

i have no idea…
but sure thing its not ice detectors (at least any that i know), it could be lights, but if it is on a fast platform, then it doesnt make sense, the best way to illuminate any particular area is with a flush assembly (like those we see on airliners) you just see the glass flush with the structure and the bulb inside at the apropiate angle.
RWR? at those angles? well its not my area of expertise, perhaps our good brother aerospacetech has the answer 🙂
pretty good thread BTW 😉
