[Noyade]

Cockpit and nose seen in better days....

Time to end this one. The Espadon.

Open House.

Pity - 6 days in mid-summer isn't very long - I've been on the road and was looking forward to spending today leafing through various sources................

[Asturias56]

try this..............

[India Four Two]

Blue panel and the famous “Mig” clock - Russian?

i like the two ejection seat handles - slow and fast?

[sycamore]

Think it may be back seat of a Mig-21ut..

[Asturias56]

Russian indeed but not a MiG

[Noyade]

Are we back to the Ilyushin Il-102?

[Beamr]

You sir are naughty, that's a Il-102 once more

[Asturias56]

close enough to 24 hours and I confess my sins...... I thought it was worth a try to repay all that searching under ""What Aircraft"

Beamr has it with the Il-102 (again)

Actually, it is Noyade who was first out with it.... So over to NSW corner.

[Asturias56]

Apologies to Noyade!

[Noyade]

Thanks - and apologies for the delay.

Beriev Be-12 I'd say.

Impressive!
Another thread under your control mate!

[Beamr]

Here you go.

A-1E Fat Face......

[Beamr]

It certainly is EA-1E! Even though I tried to find a drawing of a less built version of the Skyraider with smoke and mirrors to make identification more difficult, I knew this wouldn't take long with the knowledge and experience on this forum (maybe even with some present who'd actually flown it). But I had to do it as for if there would be the opportunity to have a ride in one aircraft of choice, the Skyraider would be my choice. Take a big radial from a big bomber, sit on it and go flying low.

Sycamore, all yours.

This is the real deal,A-1H/J.
A good book is `My Secret War` by Richard Drury; A year in Thailand doing the biz,including night dive-bombing over Laos.
Probably the greatest multi-role aircraft,about 25 ,..ever....!

Sorry ,OPEN house...

[Beamr]

Thank you for the book hint, I'll look into it.
OH as declared.
