Hmm...
IC started two days ago, no other posts yet.
Interesting to say the least. I've grown so used to seeing like 5 posts minimum by the end of day one.

Yes, I was kind of expecting someone to have made a post by now.

Just now noticed...
Me and @Foster are the only two with single seat aircraft.
Everyone else got two seaters.

We can take turns playing Xi, the chinese backseater on the MiG-31.

@Pilatus
Did I see a Mighty Boosh reference in your post?

“Sometimes from a shoe… with Bailey’s.”


If so, well done sir.

Reading up on Vne's and ran into this regarding 1970's planes:

'parking the fun lever full forward, and waiting'

They mean the throttle. More modern planes need to throttle-back before something breaks when making sea-level dashes.

MiG-23 does not have this constraint. Like the nearly 90% pure-titanium F-4 Phantom II, the frame can park itself fully supersonic on the deck provided its fuel lasts long enough to finish the mission.

The CIA gave us a flare dispenser from a Frogfoot [Su-25] that had been shot down in Afghanistan. We gave it to maintenance – it was just a thing with wires coming out of it. Four hours later they had it operational on a MiG-21."

That proved to be a very important test. "In 1987 we had the AIM-9P, which was designed to reject flares, and when we used US flares against it would ignore them and go straight for the target. We had the Soviet flares – they were dirty, and none of them looked the same – and the AIM-9P said 'I love that flare'.


Granted, the plane is trying to kill you every second that you fly it, but still.

@Pilatus Hey, not trying to sound overly sensitive or anything, but just wanted to tell you that "Chinaman" can be seen as a racial slur.

If anyone's offended they are welcome to PM me. I've never heard of that and have several Chinese friends. Xi is a competent and clever back-seater on the MiG. He and Lonnie, as you will continue to see are quite a comic duo as well.

Well, in this case the backseater is legitimately chinese.

I mean, I can see how Thai, Korean, Hmong, or any of the other Southeast Asian groups would get pretty deeply offended if you started mistakening one group for another.... especially after being personally corrected.
-Kinda like calling me a Bears-fan...

Similarily, what happens when you mistaken a Peruvian for a Mexican during the FIFA cup.

I guess you've gotten the short [Mako-shaped] straw.

On the other hand, you get to bump into the major early.

Only problem is, Cecilia wouldn't scowl at the person who bumped into her though o 3o.

Also, things arose. Stuff happened. Didn't have the time I thought I'd have. Just now got time for myself, but I am exhausted. Getting a post up will be first thing when I wake up.

Edit: Aha! I found a way to make the scene work of being bumped into and scowling. Also, excuse the (most likely) low quality of post. Am in a similar state as Cecilia.
