Gotta love those takeoff/landing intake vents on top of the regular ones. The MiG designers obviously planned for chickens on the runways of some of their customers.  :D

Who's insignia is that anyway?

Slovakian Air Force and the vents were for grass/rough field operations.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Thanks for clarification on the insignia. The vents I know about. There are doors on the main lower intakes that close during takeoff.

An F-102A Delta Dagger static display stands in Heritage Park at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson as a reminder of its service here. The F-102A was considered a high-tech upgrade over the fighter jet it replaced, the F-89 Scorpion. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Robert Barnett)

I've recently had the pleasure of working with two former RAF helo pilots (Wessex & Merlin). They were stationed in Cyprus aound the bad times in Beirut and had to fly out UK nationals from there.  The Brits also sent a few Buccs to fly through (not over) Beirut back in the early 80's in order to send a message.  From the stories I've heard, this was quite an impressive feat (the planning going into that and not crashing into buildings (or each other)).  Not to mention how that must have sounded on the ground.

Was just looking at some of the Navy  Buccs attempting landings on Ark Royal back in the day.  That was a big beast.

Another story I heard was before they replaced it, they tried to mixing 1 engine from the Bucc and 1 engine from the Tornado.  The pilots said it was a fantastic improvement in power and handling.  However, I guess the Bucc had had its day.

my personal belief is that they never went forward with that because having a dedicated weapons officer would be to unfair.  ;D
