35 degress that day, saw them fly over my work with Nanchang in tow.
Shame it aint Kiwi-Red, nice pics mate

[QUOTE=slipperysam;1196272]So the French reveal “Aussie” tigers will be deployed before the Australian government tells everyone???

Oh come on….. (In case you all live in a bubble… we now have a new government here.)

yea but the new labour goverment is commited to the mission in Afganistan and will more than likely commit more troops etc.
Even our left-wing tree hugging Labour goverment is commited to Afganistan unlike Iraq

There’s an idea, any chance of ever seeing a ‘Thud’ in the air again, I’d love to see that?:cool:

Or, if not an F-105, how about an A-5 Vigilante? Should still be easy to find parts for the J79 engine after all!:)

It would be amazing to see a F-105 or even a A-5 up in the air , im no expert but they would be two of the hardest planes to get going again.
Are there still any Thunderchiefs at AMARC?

Ive never fired a AK-47 but I do have a Chinese SKS which is very similar to the AK-47.
I have fitted a 30 round mag along with a aftermarket stock and while she is not the most accurate she will and has taken down many a deer as long as im within 150m or so.
Ive heard stories of the SKS and the AK-47 still being used after spending time under water which id tend to believe, my father has a SLR which is ex NZ Army and again while its a bit on the well-used side it is a tough weapon and dependable.
The SKS is semi auto while the SLR will go automatic but in this day and age running around the bush rattling off rounds upsets people and as such I have not heard her in full auto for years. also the appearance of the SLR upsets people while the SKS looks like a bog standard hunting rifle.
308 rounds are a pricey round and as such we buy ex-military rounds which up till about 5yrs ago was x-korean war ammo, cheap but you ran the risk of a damp round or 2 but never did we have a mis-fire.
Both are heavy beasts but tough as old boots

Great, military taking judicial and executive power into its own hands while pissing on most human and civil rights.

And all it does is spurning the black markets and driving prices up. The ones actually responsible for the transport, sitting somewhere in safety, are rubbing their hands and calculating their new profit margin.

Way to go.

Didnt take long for the Left-Wing, Do-Gooders, Lovey- Dovey, Hug a Terroist crap to find its way on this thread! Anyway its good practice for the F111 crew, hopefully a video will be released

That A-7 Corsair looks bloodly good!!
One plane I do hope to see in the near future before she is gone

NZ A-4k skyhawks use to crack the sound barrier in a dive, but as to how fast im not sure.
Does any-one know how fast Singapore A-4s go? I read that the prototype Super Skyhawk could out accellerate the F-5e chase plane, is that true?
