P-39 Airacobra, The P-39 was used with great success by the Soviet Air Force, which scored the highest number of individual kills attributed to any U.S. fighter type.[N 2] The P-39 has the highest total number of individual victories attributed to any U.S. fighter type, not kill ratio; Finnish-modified Brewster Buffalos had the highest kill ratio. Matthews 1996, p. 85.

The P-39 also maintained a 1:1 kill ratio in the pacific despite the crap people talk about it

i need three P-39 airacobra fuel selector switches and valves if anyone happens to have any just laying around? not the same as P-63

Tomahawk, you don’t seem particularly happy on this forum. Maybe you would be better suited elsewhere?

i think you are right, there is sometimes some good information on this site and i usually just browse and do not post, but there seems to be a faction of for the lack of a better word, ******s, who just make it their mission to argue with others

Well this one will be being discussed up and down the country in offices, pubs and homes.
So trying to stop speculation is pointless: unless the objectors don’t like the concept of free speech unless it agrees with them.
Anyway – errrrrr…. this and many others is a forum for discussion and all discussions about any topics involve speculations about either the past or the future.

I’m sure the AAIB will eventually produce a report in a year or so – by which time no one will give a monkeys anymore.
– though they might have not much more to go on without a FDR than the videos we have unless the plane was carrying a GPS unit and they get the data out of it plus the altimeter setting.

Expects a total re-hash of display rules as this is first time ever in the UK that people having no connection with the airshow even as visitors but just the general public on the A27 minding their own business have been terminated as a result of an airshow.

Notice on the video how he starts the rolling part of the maneuver before he has reached the vertical climb position: this will reduce the height considerably.

My comment was removed, the old boy network reeks on this forum.

there are indeed some commies on this forum, it seems to be a trend these days, they are usually left wing twitter users

just one more thing for the agitators in this thread, the first thing a pilot wants to know when something like this occurs is “what happened” and “why” so it doesnt happen next time, its a very natural response so quit your condescending crap

Right, I have deleted the rather nasty picture of the Hunter hitting the road. If you wish to cast around to find those pictures, that is your choice, but they have no place on a discussion forum.

Tomahawk, Canopener Al is a fast jet pilot; that may well have been a friend of his in that aircraft.

Lets keep speculation to a minimum please. It helps nobody and feeds the nasty side of the press, who right now will be looking to justify an end to certain aspects of our hobby.

Bruce

are you going to go through the forum and delete all of the images of wrecked planes? crashing planes? bombed out streets in germany?

you ladies better stay away from Dailymail then, the pics are a bit more graphic
