Flyer:
Good Day! Tks for the nice pics, info & data. They do look a bit different. It looks like it was in some type of restoration for some time. Still looks odd a WW II sample among all those jets. Tks
Heli1/Redhillwings:
Good Day fm across the pond!
Any P-63 pics of the Khodynka collection for years before?? Tks in advance.
..yes indeed! I still see some nice aluminum there!! I’ll take it into my back yard along with the step for the kids!! -)
Oxcart:
Hi! tks for P-63 info & data. What’s the name of the book may I ask?? Did the author has pics of the P-39 laying around Siberia?? Tks in advance.
Flanker:

Guatemalan AF Sikorsky H-19s Folks/Sidsiko:
Good Day!
Some new info/data has emerged concerning the ID of the 4/5 samples used by FAG c. 1960s. The included picture is the poss S/n 51-3927 an XFAH 820 that ended in Guatemala as a SAR sample FAG 820 w/ the same s/n. (Now in a dark blue scheme). It looks like the FAG 110 Reg was used at one time by diff FAG H-19s. We are also working on the photo of the ID plate behind the cabin. 2 B Cont.. Photo via FMAH.
TVip:
Rg! Tks for the info/data provided. The ‘real’ investigation’ will take some time! We have now the CVR/FDR on hand to pursue facts. As usual, the media will go its own way!! ..the rumors & leaks will cont!!
TomcatVip:
Hi! Interesting data. Now…with the recovery of the FDR it should tell us who activated what switches & also if the 02 mask was used by the co-pilot.
p.s That branch of medicine is called ‘Aerospace Medicine/Physiological Tng. I agree with you he prob had its own AB-320-1 manual model 1990 or so, to look specifically the cockpit door up-dates not the www.
27Vet/NewForest:
Hi I completely agree! Now with the FDR (if readable) has to match the statements/time-line made on the CVR.
TomcatVip:
Hi Again! Tks for the latest info & data on Flt 9525. That’s a pretty swift move of a memory card from a found cell phone. It’s not clear yet if it’s the real thing. They do however, have the tendency to provide data after crashes in the past.
The mountain witnesses account is also a bit off the time line. They might have seen one a/c but not both. It took the French ATCs 4-5 minutes to raise the alarm & then it will take some 15-20 to get a Mirage in place to investigate. Unless there was a French AB nearby. Rumors & leaks seem to be all over the place.
How was the source (BEA?) able to confirm that the pilot was on O2 mask???
Tomcat VIP:
Hi! Tks for the info/data on the FDR. Plz clarify for the audience: How many of the so called ‘black boxes” are on an AB 320 1990 model/Newer models?? Is the data of the FDR recorded in a separate box?? .
p.s Any status/news of the reason for the 20′-30′ delay at Barcelona prior to take-off??
