I really loved the South African models, especially with their special Rocket pod/ Fuel tank combos that they deployed with, anyone with a pic?

The Shack has a fair amount of flying hours, considering she doesn’t fly that often. The problem concerning her continued operation as a flying aircraft is actually the crew issue, as they are getting on a bit.

Take a look at http://www.saafmuseum.org.za and click the ribbon.

General Kriegler the pilot for Shackleton 1722 and patron of the SAAF Museum Cape Town, passed away this month.

RIP 🙁

Now Cuban MiG-23BIS

I also have a list of MiG-21 shoot down during the Angolan War and Ethiopian campaign.

Hi Luisdo, now you making the same mistake I made 😀 , that should read MiG- 21 Picky, picky……….. 😀

Please do post your list and any other Angola info,

Cheers,

If you were under constant bombardement you would dig up some holes or trenches to protect yourself, too. And yes of course all those 9-12 years old girls fleeing from their improvised school were blood-thirsty marxist rebels.
BTW why are you so aggressive do you have to hide something? :diablo:

Your ignorance really shows. If under constant bombardment, the trend is for civilians to flee the area. I suppose you actually saw those birth certificates :rolleyes: One has to ask why a village only had 9-12 year old girls in it :diablo: I suppose Africa has never used child combatants either :confused:

The only person trying to hide anything is you, who conviently overlooks the utter barbarity of those terrorists.

Mpacha

The info that I have is that it was a MiG-21UM

1x MIG-21UM 10/28/1987 w/o Tte Cor. Manuel Rojas, Capitán Ramón Quesada AguilarCaptured Shot down by UNITA
That I’m getting from a few sources.

You are correct, serial I-10. I was so busy looking at dates that I overlooked the type :diablo:

James, I suggest you take some time to learn “are” language before you try sending your thoughts out to any helicopters that have been shot down.

Judging by the pictures of civilians shot dead that were aired on the news earlier I would say that some have copped it already. Funny how nobody’s patriotic thoughts ever go out to the families of all those civilians we have killed in the name of their freedom and liberty.

The fact is that the helicopter crew did not choose to be there either. I suggest you aim your bitterness at those who deserve it and not at those who are merely carrying out orders. I also suggest you learn a bit about terrorist wars and then maybe you will realize who actually chooses to make the battlefield in civilian area’s. What makes a civilian? A fourteen year old girl carrying an AK-47? It happens, even if people like you choose to ignore this.

You claim to be concerned about civilians but you ignore those who are kidnapped or killed in road side blasts on a daily basis, the very people those helicopter crews where trying to protect!

Mpacha.
Put everything you have I’ll help you with it, I know about 5 former pilots during the Angolan War.

Any idea of the serials of the aircraft shot down by the SAAF? (Not talking about the MiG-23 here!)
