Wasn’t there a German Pilot mentioned in the book Target Berlin who was shot down, straffed in his second aircraft and then shot down in a third on the same day?

Ex Fleet Air Arm Museum example.

That’s a pretty colour scheme. I wish a few could be painted in civilian colours to emphasize it’s speed.

I read somewhere that Airforce 1 has an aerial in the back that it can pay-out a bit like fishing line.
It’s 3 miles long and can transmit on ultra low frequencies, encrypted and in very small bursts.
So an hour of comms can be burst transmitted in a few seconds.
Not sure if that’s true though?

Warning. Geek alert!
Han Solo’s pistol is a Mauser.
Princess Leia’s pistol is a Luger.
The scene where Stormtroopers try to blast the Falcon in the Spaceport at Moss Eisley,
if you look closely you can see a road work towed compressor.
Leia hides from Troopers behind a set made of grey plumbers tubing.
The large spaceship during the opening scene of ANH. If you look at it’s rear you can see the doors from a model kit APC.
R2D2’s eye is actually the directional air vent from a 70’s airliner.
The list is endless…

BTW wasn’t there a helicopter or aircraft in the cargo bay of the Nostromo in Alien?

Interesting placement of the code letters next to the roundel.
Spacing is a bit off.

Sounds like a c o c k and ball story to me.
