Beautiful plane (F15) and both were amazing r/c pilots who flew both of those things.

Post by: aztec on April 22, 2006, 07:55:48 AM: My GUESS, Bright colors, easier to see. I have never flown jets but have flown some fast prop planes. At those speeds it's nice to see em. Then again, maybe he just likes em.

put a camera in the cockpit and build a controlstation and it would be even better.

Not to mention,I don't think the Thunderturds ever flew f-15's....It's currently F-16's

Too bad they didn't build tomcats instead of f-15s.

Then we could have listened to that friggin' "Danger Zone".

I had a 1/32 scale model of the F15 that i never got around to builiding. I threw it away a couple of months ago along with the rest of my models. It was made by Revell and was in Thunderbird colors. Not that this is any proof at all tho.

He made it. Not by much but he did.

That hornet demo was pretty good.

Post by: FUNKED1 on April 23, 2006, 12:05:54 AM: BTW that's not a Thunderbirds scheme, it's a Bicentennial scheme from an Eagle that was used for demos during the '76 airshow season.

There was also an F-4 Phantom painted like that making the airshow rounds too back then.

Wasnt that the one where he set his altimeter incorrectly?

I assume he's now the junior janitor at the Pentagon now?

I think the USAF press release is out there somewhere, but if I recall correctly the official version was a mistake in the pull-down altitude.

There's more to it than that, but the only thing worth noting is that any critical error is usually preceded by a chain of events that led to the actual causal factor, and this mishap was no different in that regard.
