Everyone knows the MiG-28 has a problem with its inverted flight tanks. It won't do a negative G push over.

Unlike Bruce there who couldn't see the joke.


Oh, and casual racism is so 19th Century...

Hopefully sooner or later they'll do it right, at least this time there was no collision.

Yeah, old Bruce- I'll ask Iceman what the hell he was thinking.

Old style, usually good natured, national stereotyping renamed into something else so the over sensitive pc brigade have something new to be outraged, shocked and offended about... ;)

Everyone to their safe spaces before the handbags fly.

I'm in my Handbag Avoiding Shelter already.

Leave it, girls, and return to the topic ... please.

BEagle 19th May 2017 18:20

Indeed, Westie!

Having worked with a 'certain USAF organisation' some years ago, I'm pretty certain that I know what that '135 was doing there...:oh:

The PRC needs to consider the bigger picture concerning that part of the world - recent PRNK activities in particular - and how other nations might help their situation.

And that's all I have to say about that...

Now you've explained it RP, I rather think I've offended myself!:}

Wonder did the US jet have its transponder on....

Was the back seater called "Riceman" ? I think we should be told.

Before you start noodling up the PLAAF you had better have a look at their website.

WC 135
Monitoring radiation levels and evidence of chemical / biological particles after detonations
I guess North Korea has something to do with the monitoring ....

I just wish they'd talk to someone before crossing A1. They are a real pain in the @rse.

Tay Cough 21st May 2017 16:27

That's Mr Riceman to you.

farefield 21st May 2017 16:45

Mr Q, I think that's what Beagle was trying to avoid saying.

B Fraser 21st May 2017 19:39


That's Mr Riceman to you.

I'm sure a Nanchang driver such as yourself would appreciate the title.


Is it true that when you have flown one, an hour later you want another flight ?

Fareastdriver 21st May 2017 19:52

The first PLAAF base I went on to was a training unit in Sichuan province. As we turned onto the line the first two Nanchangs were complete wrecks: yellowing glass and rotting flying control surfaces. As we went further down the line they started to improve until we came to complete examples with drip trays underneath. At the end by the headquarters building were aircraft with FULL covers on, wings, cockpit and fuselage. It looked, and it was confirmed by later visits to other units that aircraft were flown until they dropped, Xmas tree-ed until there was no more and just left there. Meanwhile they moved to the next aircraft in the line and started again.
