Billy, ask him about the claims that were recently on his website:

“We know what threats are out there. A 9mm just won’t cut it when you are facing 30 ft tall insectoids, or the reptile alien overlords from Rigel.”

Yeah and I’ve got a bridge to sell ya! The website was created by a dreamer. He is well known for producing hoaxes. His design for a laser rifle:

I do not think that existence of these justifies the development on mini nukes. Nukes are nukes,mini or not. And US would not dare to attack China with nukes cause china has nukes itself though not so many as US has of course. Radiation would be a great problem and imagine if these bases are next to cities or villages?Is that acceptable collateral damage?No.

It is true that GBU-28 cannot penetrate these hangars,it was tried before in 1999 when F-15s attacked many times Slatina AB next to Pristina and at the end of hostilities,the 20 or so Mig-21s that were based there just got out of the hangers and flew for some other bases in Serbia.

The bunker at Slatina was NOT attacked “many” times. The only MiG-21s that survived from Slatina was the airframes that were flown out under the Technical Agreement. The number flown out was exactly 11. A single MiG-21 was taken out by road from Slatina during the same day as the 11 flew out and captured on UAV footage. There was never “20 or so MiG-21” that came out of Slatina. The 83rd Regiment was the unit that had the heaviest combat aircraft losses during conflict.

Not an E model, but a USAF Pave Low. You can see from the following image that it certainly wasn’t an E model.

Interesting images of the two M-21s can be found at the following webpages. These were not converted A-12 airframes, but built as M-21s.

Type into any web search engine ‘John Stone Blackbird’ and you’ll obtain all the data you require.

But here is a picture of me next to SR-71 with another UAV, in the museum next to Seattle.What a beauty!

That’s not an SR-71. The aircraft is an M-21.

Upgrade the MiG-29s already in inventory to SMT standard. It’s cheap and effective.

Only 4 FULCRUM A and 1 FULCRUM B survived the 1999 conflict. 11 airframes were lost to all causes during this period. They would have to obtain a few more airframes from another source to make it viable. An example would be the retired Romanian airframes if some sort of deal could be arranged.

“Its called Great Britain but for what reason”

You are using the term totally out of context. The term “Great Britain” is simply a collective name for the various kingdom states that combined under acts of union. Hence we have today the “United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.”

Thanks for the reply Arthur, did u happen to notice the advance nose cone on it while you were taking the picture? its conical.. 😎 I bet its superior to even the Mirage.

But honestly, I am just trying to get opinion of people who have either flown or worked (maintain) with this aircraft.

Matt, If you go over to Google Groups you’ll find on the following threads several F-4 crew and maintainers:

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&group=rec.aviation.military.naval

The following were F-4 pilots and if you post or search in Google groups you’ll find lots of information from the ‘cockpit’.

That story has been doing the rounds for many years now. I first seen it on a programme called John Craven’s Newsround way back in the mid-late 1970’s. The story then was that it was Greek Air Force Mirage F.1s damaged when a sentry was swinging from the nose probes.

Whether the story is an urban myth or not it has been doing the rounds ever since. One of the UK “lads mags” ran the same story with Harriers being delivered to the Syrian Air Force of all things :o).

Interesting – I just called up Gene and he confirmed the Wings account. He claims that he was the Chief Designer on the Kfir. He also retold the C-5-delivering-Mirage story. I guess my next step is to check with the IAI engineers I know to double check all this.

Global Security and FAS (Federation of American Scientists) have always been very poor at aircraft recognition. Over in FAS for years they had Finback in the Flagon page, Fitter, Farmer and Fagot in the Fresco page, Foxhound in the Foxbat page, not to mention their J-10 page. John Pike was/still is? over at FAS. I informed him/team years ago about the errors on FAS ref the J-10 and other errors but they failed to change the images.

While you have John Pike’s ‘ear’ send him the following howlers at Global Security:
