Small Scale Military Headquarters

This is just fantastic -- You don't see a heritage flight of F-4, F-16 & F-86 in formation often, that's for sure: http://www.pbase.com/mriffle/image/41964156 http://www.pbase.com/mriffle/image/41964157 http://www.pbase.com/mriffle/image/41964165 P-51, have you gotten word of any airshows in Califor...

Sigh. Won't be hearing the results today: The F-104 STARFIGHTER contest is now closed. Thank you to all of the fans who have participated. We are in the process of selecting our top three winners this week. Each winner will be contacted via e-mail the following week. Thanks again to our loyal fans f...

Big day tomorrow for the F-104 drawing! I'm feelin' lucky

(Although I feel lucky every time I buy a lotto ticket too)

W-M in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico: Nada.

This is a great video in two parts of the Russian Sukhoi SU-35/37 in flight. The Cobra moves are absolutely mind-boggling. Thrust vectoring at it's best!

Enjoy.

In another thread unrelated to the F-104, there was a question about the delivery date of the F-104. BCA now states that it is June. Good.

Why the heck is BCA saying "IF it is produced"????

IF?

Pleasanton, CA:

2 "Jungle Fever" RC Stewarts
6 FW-190 D9s (as previously reported, they don't seem to be moving)
Did not see any 1:32 stuff.

Funny, I've been thinking the same thing. Agree with you 100%.

Skyraider is a must.

Corsair with napalm, rockets a must (Chosin Res. dio).

But, I need to get back to reality. Don't think this stuff, if considered by 21c at all, will be coming any time soon.

[I am starting to slowly back out of collecting every type of plane, choosing to collect only the really cool or most meaningful aircraft. This is on account of lack of display space. Consequently, I have passed on the BT P-47 and may have to do so on the F-104 as well. We'll, see, however] Tman: I'...

Are the bomb bay doors on the Avenger accurate....Did some Avenger versions NOT have the double-folding doors (for lack of a better description)?

I see BBI is still peddling the infamous black F-18.

Don't know how valid this is, but as stated by FarOutToys: "The powers that be have one again pushed back the release of this item to April 15. we apologize for the inconvenience. We have no control over these events." www.farouttoys.com That would be great, but April 15th is right around the corner...

Note: the Mustang deal is next year (did not mean to imply that it's a 2005 event)

For those who are not aware of this website, it's a good one.

WWII through modern day.

Some photos are not for the weak at heart:

Dammit! I had myself convinced up until today that I was going to pass on the 104.

There's a nice article on the ME-262 in this month's AIRPOWER magazine. As usual for that publication, lots of detail and unique pictures.

Although I really like the "Eileen" (checkerboard nose) scheme, the paint quality, as mentioned in previous posts, is POOR due to overall bad QA at the factory. I mean, in addition to the poor paint quality, they even stenciled Maj. Eggleston's name on the canopy rail (sorry factory folks, wrong pla...

Out here in earthquake country I'd be a bit uncomfortable with placing my F-18 on top of my computer monitor as you have. At least not unless that beast was tied down.

Correct. 43rd BG.

I highly recommend seeing (or better yet, catching a ride in) the Collings Foundation B-24 (and B-17) when they tour around the States each summer visiting local airports. There are a lot of tour stops, so there's bound to be one at an airport near you. For those who don't know, this B-24 is the onl...

immeww2 did a recon at the Pleasanton, CA W-M today and mentioned that there were 2 FW-190's that he could not identify. I took a look and am wondering if this is a new livery, or if I've missed this paint scheme: -fuselage: dash & #12 -s/n on tail is 500570 -overall paint coloring is similar to the...
