Technically yes, but they wear US markings, if I am not mistaken.

They do, they are based along with the Tornados at Holloman in New Mexico.

It’s well known that the communist Vietnamese operated, in service, many of the Huey and Cobra helicopters captured after their victory in 1975. Did they ever try to put in service any of the F-5s or the Cessna A-37s that they also captured?

How many intact F-5 and A-37 servicable airfames did they capture anyway?

Yes, they used both… its well documented.

Forgive me if it’s hiding in one of these threads and I’ve not seen it, but does anyone have photos of Mexican CH-53s?

Thanks in advance,

Logan Hartke

This is more of a photo op.

They are a little large to post as a photo, so I posted as a link, as a courtesy not to screw up people’s bandwidth or to screw up the way the message board Page is viewed.

To me this is to the point that it becomes a safety concern, hopefully this was just an exception to the rule.

I reread the article today it said (paraphrasing) “We were amazed by the manuevablity of the bananna shapded -17 wing. We could not believe Mikoyan could design such a perfect wing. It was like a boomerang. If it got behind you ti was liek trying to shake gum off your shoe. It made the A-4 laughable.”

So, we are up to Yankee and Zulu on the Huey and Cobra resecptively… so what comes next in the numbering scheme? Alpha Alpha? Zebra Alpha? Never heard of any aircraft going over the Zulu designation.

The is an article in “another” avaition mag this month about the US testing MiGs, Constant Peg, Red Hatters etc. Anyway, the article states that American pilots were incredbily impressed with the turning rate of the -17, and in particlaur were impressed with the design of the wing. One pilot/engineer (cant remember which) called it “a damn near perfect wing.” I’ll see if i can find out more when i go back to the bookstore tonite.

If I am not mistaken he did not eject the first time…

Thats right! He ground egressed from the first one suffering a broken arm. Guess he only ejected once, but still crashed two Gripens. There is a video of this somewhere on the net…

Gripen Grounded Pending Crash Investigation

• Feb. 2, 1989: The first Gripen prototype crashed on its sixth flight when landing at Linköping air base. A SAIB inquiry found that the cause was pilot-induced oscillation.
• Aug. 8, 1993: A crash on the central Stockholm island of L•ngholmen also was attributed to pilot-induced oscillation.

If i am not mistaken it was the same SAAB test pilot at the controls of both aircraft. He has the unfortunate distiction of being the only person to eject twice from a Gripen.

I’ve actually seen the NASA RB-57 up close, and it’s actually a very smart aircraft, and looks very purposeful! It was an interesting comparison to the NASA T-38s…

According to an article i just read, NASA plans to keep it flying for at least another 20 years!
