    Victor,

    There was two F-15 cases, one involving a pilot and the other one a WSO. The Pilot ejected at supersonic speeds on a training mission on North Carolina (4th Fighter Wing) at night in bad weather when he had to eject (the back seater died in this accident) and amazingly survived with several injuries. After the recoverable period he went to fly again the Strike eagle in Mountain Home.
    The WSO ejected and almost lost one of his arms, but, fortunately, get qualified again to fly the Strike Eagle.

    Several years ago, there was an amazing case in FAB, one F-5 pilot, a captain, was on a training mission and after a malfunction he decided to eject, the chute was not fully deployed, but, he survived, amazingly, thanks to the trees below.

    Regards,

    Condolences to their families.

    “The plane is not important when compared to people but Iran does not have many operational Tomcats left.”
    Some sources say that left 25 operational Tomcats, maybe less than this figure.

    According to an article posted after the exercise and copied to one of the threads (i read but i don´t remember which), Indian AF pilots flies 300hrs/year and US pilots 250hrs/year. If it is correct, i don´t know.

    Camaro, always, as usual, behind Michael Schumacher. Well, regarding the Brazilian Women, i have to agree with you 🙂 100%. Usually, the people thinks that in Rio exists the most beautiful ones, in fact part its true, but, the real beauties comes from South of Brazil. An example….Gisele Bundchen 🙂 🙂
    I will send the pics in your private mail.

    Today US President Bush declared that Pakistan is a non NATO allied, a privilege not given to other nations. This opens way for the supply of new armament to Pakistan.

    Wolf, interesting. Fach tends to retire the Elkans also? I ask that because they have recently upgraded when brought from Belgium. Also, interesting in buying state of the art Vipers and then move to older versions to replace others.

    Charlie Echo, i agree with you, the current Phalcon in service with Fach is to expensive to operate.

    Regards,
