Pete Fleischmann Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 ...Makes me wonder why we aren't using all of the MiG-29's we bought from Moldova in this role. The F-1 is a surprise..should be interesting. Pete reconspit, mpk and Eagle Driver 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssculptor Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 And along with the new kit will come a number of aftermarket decals sets. Should be very interesting, indeed. mpk and Troy Molitor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Lack of spare parts strikes me as the most likely reason. It's not like Vlad the Impaler would be willing to sell any...

If the fleet was BIG enough, couldn't they do what they did with Corsairs in the pacific, and sacrifice a few complete air-frames to the parts gods, to keep the rest of the flight going? I cant imagine they would need TOO many of these......... mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad seems to get along well with Commodus. wunwinglow and Bill Cross 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
