MiG-23 down in Michigan!
Pete Fleischmann replied to Lee White's topic in Aviation Discussion & Research
Both Z-Man and Gabby are probably the best MiG-23 subject matter experts in the west. I know Z fairly well. I’ve never met or spoken with Gabby. Their credentials are about the best you could hope for. neither one of them, however, are wading around in the warbird community; much less the jet warbird world. Their expertise stops at that threshold; as neither one of them are versed in the details of civilian certification or Experimental Aircraft authorization. It would be helpful to the discussion to find someone with the background that they both have- that also has experience operating and maintaining an aircraft like the Flogger in the civilian world. Several people come to mind (and no, I don’t mean me). The good news is nobody got hurt, and hopefully the community will improve once all of the lessons learned are sorted out. P -

New airscale Pro range - 1/32 TBD Devastator
Pete Fleischmann replied to airscale's topic in Vendors Board
Interesting first post. Welcome to the forums. You say you prefer to scratchbuild; and you’ve tried photoetch and it never works..Seems to me if you have the skills to scratchbuild, manipulating photoetch should be pretty straightforward- just some thoughts. P -

Trumpeter F-35B at Sprue Brothers

Sweet! -
Another full day of operational test flying at the OPL. Briefing- Prep the jet for a single-ship sortie today- Not your typical L-29. Today we will be simulating the F-35.. Gotta love fighter pilots… a little foreshadowing. I’m the test dummy today in the backseat..yes those are ECG leads that I had to wear all day But I did get to fly. All strapped in with the F-35 helmet, ECG, head tracker, and eye tracker. My job was to evade and defeat SAM radar missiles without reference to the outside world…while leading a large counter-air force and running the BattIe Management display. I had a safety pilot in the front. pretty task saturating- it’s no fun pulling 5g’s when you can’t look outside.. but really good test points today. cheers P
