Don’t be fooled by the UAR flag, Nasser was special guest at the parade and the flag was flown in his honour.

Fabe, could you upload your pics to an album and put the link here? Thanks! 😉

Here we go 😉 The cockpit photos are not too good (I had to take them through the canopy) but there are zero around the web, so they are better than nothing.
I have all the pics in 3264×2448 resolution so if anyone needs a particular one just tell me 🙂

What really amazed me was the size of this aircraft, the T-33 and the MiG-21 in the same museum looked like giants when compared to the HA-300. The range must have been a devastation, especially with payload. On the other hand in it probably would have been almost invisible.

Really a fascinating aircraft, too sad there is no good model kit of it…

I know this thread is not about museum aircraft but would you be interested in a walkaround of the Helwan Ha-300?
People looked pretty stupid when they saw me crawling underneath it with my head stuck into its wheel bay 😀

By the way it is interesting that, although it is known as Helwan Ha 300, its original Egyptian names seems to have been Al Qahira 300 (the victorious/Cairo)

I was thinking exactly the same, I’m pretty sure it is Taliban, the Taliban seem to have been the only faction that used to repaint a bigger part of its inventory (with others it happened only very seldomly) and the coat of arms is spot on.

note the Quran on top of it

BTW couldn’t you have chose a better image for the Su-47 than this gay pic from a video game?

So what exactly makes the pic you posted “straight”? 😡

Has anybody ever heard something about a possible use of F-6s by Myanmar? I read several times they were deployed alongside A-5s. After all at least FT-6s would make sense and there is no other air force that uses the A-5 without the FT-6.

All those projects are great but I wonder what Germany is doing, it really seems to lack behind 🙁 Well, except of course everything is kept so secret we don’t know about it.
