Btw... Adrian I think you should study some aircraft encyclopedia...
i said its a mig23 but some parts can look a bit like a su24
AdriaN wrote:its quite hard to tell the difference from this photo. i think its a mig23 because if you look closely the elevons trailing edge extends further than the exhaust while the su24s elevons do not.
so do the rebels have pilots or did they just jump in the seat and pressed all the buttons until they got airborne?
, he was a yellow taxi cab driver from brooklyn going for a ride along the battlefront, of course he was pilot, you don't just sit in a cockpit press all buttons and fly, this is not a video game!! It seems that the rebels have got professional soldiers/pilots as well but I think they lack the resourses/numbers and a structured C&C.. matilda wrote:COME ON BOY'S

What was glorious about the cold war ...it was just a waste of time and resources, as no fruit was gained from ... ah anzi the worst went to the CCCP!
as for what is happening in Libya I guess we know what they are doing, people are revolting turning into a Civil War to have a 40 year regime down and Ghaddafi and his hench men wants to hold on to their power ... no big mathematics mate! Let's face it it happened in France, England, it happened in Malta during the French occupation ... it just took ages to happen in the african continent!
So getting back to planes, someone over Times blog stated that it is not a MIG23 but an SU24 as tail is longer, you are the experts ...
Here is something from the hands of the rebels trying to fly this MIG21 another engine failure ... another loss of vintage stuff!
On the other hand strange enough all loyalist front lines do not have adequate AA cover, they know the coalition is on them and their convoys, tanks and artillery units are just sittting ducks, I find this very strange ... maybe they are up to some surprises?
And here is the nightmare of many Maltese, the old but reliable Scud missle + MAZ launcher and probably why we are standing on the fence ... captured in Benghazi!

Yep I agree we would not had - Rambo 1-3, Delta Force, Top Gun, the A-team, the Wall, Puffi and Star Wars, I also remeber life in the Cold War era when we used to eat only Catch, Huskie, Diserta and just building Airfix, Italieri and ESCI models as Tamiya, Hasegawa and Fujimi were nowhere to be seen on our shelves ... was a very nice time to remember! Ah forgot not to mention 5 years studying Arabic ... all this the results of the COLD WAR mentality!
