Between Noratlas’ tail and the first flag, just above C-47’s fuselage, there’s another tail with that fin flash. Can’t recognize of what type yet, though.

We’ve all spent hours, days, years of hour life surfing sites, foruns, etc. And then Facebook came…

Wonderful finds, nonetheless. As for the other aircraft, let me do some digging. The image doesn’t give too many clues…

Great find with the Mig, MiG!! Much better than this “avatar”.

I knew you could find’em and i’m eager for more! 😎

A few more from Guinea Bissau, some already known but don’t know if they’re posted in this forum:

Regarding the Guinean Do28, unfortunately it’s not military but a good catch though. It was recently recovered and put on display at the Osvaldo Vieira Airport’s entrance to celebrate the country’s Civil Aviation Agency 10th anniversary.

This is some CRAZY good stuff! You guys constantly astound me. I am utterly speechless.

Incredible- where do you find this stuff?

Amazing! Where did you find that one? Also, note the Burundi Gazelle in the background. THAT’S really interesting!

Thanks for the great image of the Gabon Gazelle!

I think I got this pix from this forum

Chris, you must have an insane collection- thanks! Now, can anybody tell me what color this Trinidad and Tobago Gazelle might be? Anybody know if it has the national flag fin flash?

Anybody have any images of Lesotho Mi-2 Hopliites?

I understand that one reason the F-35 was chosen was its “commonality” with the F-22. First, is this even true? Second, assuming that it is, is it really such a big factor? Third, seems to me that the money that will ultimately be wasted on the program will far outweigh whatever “cost savings” “commonality” may realize.

See the following from http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com:

“The F-35 family was designed to be much more affordable than the F-22, but a number of factors are narrowing that gap. One is… loss of parts commonality between the 3 models, which the GAO has cited as falling below the level required to produce significant savings. In March 2013, the JSF PEO placed the figure at just 25-30%.”
