The original EGG plane!!! Kidding. Great job, although I sincerely resent the subject.

Rafale is selling quite well last 2-3 years actually. Again, for political reasons there are many bumps along the way for the French. Typhoon is a great jet, however more high-altitude oriented. F-15EX is expensive and old design, Gripen is rather a poor man's coat. Single engine as well. For me, Canada was either for Super Hornet or for Rafale. I would bet on the Rafale. Beautiful jet with even better capabilities.

True. However the people in power managed to kick the can down the road long enough. Same with Germany. You cannot fight Corporations easily. Nobody cares if pilots should rely on one or two engines. Money is all that matter. I just read that 33 F-22 will be sent to AZ Boneyard in fiscal 2023. To 'use the money to improve the rest of the F-22 and F-35 and for new advanced research" Are you kidding me? Of course twin jet. Anytime a TWIN. ANY time. F35C... C as in crap. What comes next? Single-Engine Atlantic Crossing maybe. I long for the times of the Tri-jets, the Tomcats and others... AMEN!

New Maverick Trailer Out - Su-57 - IN.
Eagle Driver posted a topic in Aviation Discussion & Research
So did anybody see it already? I guess this will be the new most selling kit in the upcoming months, starting May 27th. It is interesting how things will unfold. A naval aviator predicted F-35 role /actually I've heard that too back in 2018/. F-14, F/A-18 and now the Su-57. The trailer shows the 57 seen from inside of the Tomcat too. Which means it will be further into the movie story probably. -
Thanx much!!!
-
Yeah, something like that, although not clear what is exactly. Private Air Force with Aggressor role. There are two or three in the US. I could only wish to have such a venture.

Not my bag of candy, but yeah, why not!? I like it. -
Oh yes. That too. Completely forgot about it.

KH had 48th Su-25 ready for 2022. Trumpeter buys KH = Trumpeter releases the Frogfoot. Zvezda - even though shape-wise will be decent - surface-wise will be C- at best. As always.

Taylor Hawkins: Foo Fighters' drummer dies aged 50
Eagle Driver replied to vince14's topic in General Discussion
Saddest news of the year so far for me. I love Foo. -
Decent Frogfoots in 48th scale eventually. Finally. Not that I enjoy the looks of that plane, but it is a must in quarter scale, same as the A-10.

U.S. Postal Rates Are Going Up Again...
Eagle Driver replied to Juggernut's topic in General Discussion
They won't be able to as far as my information goes. Not with the major ones. That what was announced earlier this months is a dust. Anyhow, how will they trace you when your wallet has no name, no email, nothing? -
Thanx!!!!

U.S. Postal Rates Are Going Up Again...
Eagle Driver replied to Juggernut's topic in General Discussion
Last couple years they did, but it was 200 sales or 20 000USD. Now anything over 600 get reported. It will most likely get worse. IMHO crypto will be the only way out of this. -
1/24 Airfix Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat...One HELL of a Cat
Eagle Driver replied to CraigH's topic in Ready for Inspection
Beautiful job! Beautiful plane! -
oopsy.

Today there was a Greyhound and a Super Hornet that I saw, then on my way home I saw Hawkeye circling east of the base. Spoke with some spotters there, they saw a P-3 and a Kfir earlier.

U.S. Postal Rates Are Going Up Again...
Eagle Driver replied to Juggernut's topic in General Discussion
Worldwide there is that tendency. I use three services in three different countries. USPS being one of them, so far being the most professional. Not that others are bad either. Posts are working fine considering how many people are active nowadays. I have to add that I like them a lot. However, one of those /postal service providers/ increased prices 3 times in 2021. And probably USPS doing so as well wasn't unexpected. -
Thanx, that was very interesting actually!

Jetmads has Announced an F-22A Raptor in 1/32 Scale
Eagle Driver replied to LSP_Kevin's topic in LSP Discussion
+1 on that. Not a banana. A blob. Canopy of the blob too. Blob helmet for the blob drivers. -
There were P-3 and E-2, no Harriers though. Maybe just bad timing. Don't know.
