Your Plane

[Banshee7]

Forever and always...


As for the jet age, it's a close tie for these...





and for some unknown reason my photobucket will not upload the F-14 pics

Ooops my bad I didn't look closely. Caption said Wild Weasel. The "D" models I worked on had larger radomes with the black paint covering most of the nose because of the large radar fitted during Nam. The pic I chose looked much smaller to me like the E/RF4C

     Wild Weasel is actually a mission description rather than a plane.  True both E and G model Phantoms flew WW missions, but
the E model carried the nose mounted 20mm and the G carried a radar receiver in place of the gun and alot more SAM warning
antenna.  Sorry to be anal, but my job in the air force was limited to E and G model Phantoms.

     Not sure what they call the F-16s that fly SEAD <Suppression of Enemy Air Defences>, but I bet they are called Weasels too.
Kind of like why Hollywood picks handles like Maverick and Iceman instead of Stinkbutt or Petunia

Actually, it's the Collings Foundation's F-4D.

Here's what the F-4E/G Wild Weasel looks like:

     I think that guy is lost, no SAMs in orbit yet

Any nickname worth it's salt is given to you by someone else. If you see a guy with a nickname like "Iceman" or "Maverick" it's sure bet he named himself.

That top one is a great picture Banshee7, I'm kind of warming up to this aircraft in AH, just got to get used to the guns

It's always been my favorite plane.  Usually after I take long breaks I use the Pony to get myself back into shape (because it's something I know I can get kills in).  Once I gain my muscle memory and sensitivity on the joystick I start flying the 38 more.

I kind of like Rino's picks:  Stinkbutt and Petunia.  Will have to remember those if I ever lose the Oldman handle.

Oh, he's just pitching up for altitude and a vertical kill shot.

Oh, so true.

The P38, such a beautiful looking plane, just as deadly too!


But we all know the 109 is the best!

Mig 25 is and was poop for anything except photo-rec, unless it is going against airliners that is.

Do you mean the Mosquito or the Meteor? 

[nrshida]

Did you make that picture Nuke? Where did they put my Ki-100? It was right where the Meteor is now
