Here is an example of a TRUE restoration - using a 100% complete "modestly damaged" P-38F-1-LO 41-7630* with minimal corrosion (magnesium parts were the few to corrode - they were unusable) as the exemplar. ~$2,400,000 restoration cost using 80%-85% of the original parts! P-38E Glacier Girl...

The lone fatality has been identified as 73-year-old Geoff Kitchen, who died of a suspected heart attack.

My preference would be for F-86F Sabres or F9F-8 Cougars. I wouldn't go with any FJ-3/4 Furies because their J65 engines were more finicky than the Sabre's J47 or the Cougar's J48. Both were AIM-9 capable, and they used the same ammo as the US forces' .50 cal & 20mm aircraft guns, thus keeping...

A8-277 B1-49 F-111G Delivered to RAAF 25/03/94. Former USAF FB-111A and F-111G AF68-277. Nowra Airshow 1998. In Service 6 Sqn - later attached to ARDU. Grounded from 12/02/02 to 2003 due to wing failures.

What error? ;)

That was November 2011. Here is another:

Naaah, the Su-17 wasn't any good. Besides, it was too early - 3D view of a Sukhoj "product R" (Su-17 of the 1949, designation reused): ;)

An ID feature is the triangular brace/fin where the tail boom comes off the aft fuselage... the only H-19/S-55s I've seen in pictures without it are YH-19 developmental airframes.

Yes, I would assume so. However, many of us are not... and I was just letting them know before they tried.

Both the pilot's seat and gunner's seat are equipped with flight controls, as they both are for basic armament controls. Naturally, the pilot's flight controls are more-complete than the gunner's and vice versa for the weapons controls. And I'm sure William could fly the Apache if needed -...

He first gained a commission in the British Army after attending the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in early 2006. After training with both the Army and RAF, as well as the Royal Navy, he formally transferred his commission to the RAF in January 2009, where he flew helicopters in a RAF Search...

Just like any other officer (William was an active-duty officer in the British Army for 3 years, then an active-duty officer in the RAF for 4 years).

First document is in 2 parts. Second requires registration to download.

There was a lot to like between 1946 and 1973 - many variants for several disparate roles and several nations, it was a true workhorse. http://www.joebaugher.com/usattack/newa1.html Douglas XBT2D-1 Dauntless II Douglas AD-1 Skyraider Douglas AD-1Q Skyraider Douglas AD-2...
