Maitland Vard Biography
She became the second squadron with A-8B, deployed in the Persian Gulf; Two planes were lost in the conflict. The complete marking of this squadron consists of a triangular "tiger skin" on the steering wheel of the direction and image of the head of the tiger on the nose. On all Harrier modifications, the PEGASUS double engine is installed. Part of the air of the second circuit is shown blue used to cool the high -pressure compressor housing and is thrown through the front nozzles.
The gases passing through the turbine are shown red are diverted through the rear nozzles. Often an owl was drawn on the fuselage, and the moon on the air intake. The depicted plane was called "Sweet Vicki" "Sweet Vicki" in honor of the pilot's wife. The nature of the tasks performed gave the aircraft a battered look. Upon returning to the base from a combat mission, pilots often trusted the airplane control of the board operator of REO.
Now the plane equipped with surveillance equipment, lighting bombs and Loran bomber equipment could also be successfully acted at night. Each time, the crews faced a deadly threat in the form of anti -aircraft artillery and batteries of anti -aircraft guided missiles, which, combined with the complexity of night flights, led to exorbitant fatigue of pilots. Aircraft in the photo: Aircrafts on the Photo: Antonov AN - Ukraine - very few aircraft were surrounded by such a halo of mystery as Zero.
The Allied pilots, heard about Zero’s combat successes in China and at the first stages of the Japanese campaign in the Pacific Ocean, were convinced that the Japanese fighter was invulnerable. Aircraft in the photograph: Aircrafts on the Photo: Mitsubishi A6M Reisen - Japanjapan - only two of the Zero aircraft in a state of flying. A6M5 is located in the Aviation Museum in Chaino California, on it there is an original Sakae engine.
Another surviving instance in the photo - A6M2 - participated in the battles over Solomon Islands as part of the 5th aircraft carrier group, based on the Dzuyukaki aircraft carrier. Now it has an American engine and a screw. When the defeat of Japan became obvious, the military command went to desperate measures - suicidal attacks of bombers. In the photograph, Zero equipped with bombs is cut off from the parking lot during operations over the bay of Leita, November of the year.
The colleagues salute Kamikadze before performing its last flight. His deep knowledge of technology and the unique capabilities of the aircraft allowed to turn it into an awesome combat vehicle during the Falkland War. Airplanes in the photo: Aircrafts on the Photo: Bae Sea Harrier - Great Britainunited Kingdom - Sea Harrier Sucadriers Flights from the Invinciber aircraft to strike at the ground targets of KG bombs and flew out for combat patrols and interception.
Sea Harrier has achieved significantly the best results in bombing than the Vulcan aircraft of the British Air Force. MK 1 is hanging over the shipdress of the British auxiliary fleet. This aircraft has two sensory heads: infrared and high -resolution television for the flight in conditions of sufficient visibility. The system effectively uses data from passive detection and tracking of the target for visual identification of the target at a great distance, evaluate damage and navigation assistance.
Aircraft in the photo: Aircrafts on the Photo: Antonov AN - Ukraine - a rare version of the "Hanship" - a reactive bomber B "Kanberra".
Under the fuselage, a mm trigging gun on a movable installation is clearly visible. They helped missiles with Aim Falcon homing head to detect and seize targets before starting with the interception controlled from the ground. The presented Li-2 aircraft is painted in the standard colors of Aeroflot. Li-2 were used by the Red Army for the transportation of troops during many main battles.
Some aircraft were operated even in the X. In the year, it was painted in the colors of the company "MALEV", which he wore during operation in the X years. In the photo: the Li-2 aircraft used in the Arctic studies with a ski chassis. On the basis of Fokker F. Hegenberger and L. Maitland, on the monoplan of the American Army Fokker S-2, they made the first successful non-stop flight from California Oklahoma to Gonolulu Hawaii.
Aircraft in the photo: Aircrafts on the Photo: Fokker F. This multi-colored plane belongs to the "bow-Aviatrans". Aircraft in the photograph: Aircrafts on the Photo: Antonov AN - RUSSIASIA - at the AN AMP, in addition to the enlarged and glazed nasal part of the fuselage for the workplace of the navigator, the crew cabin is characterized. She protrudes for the contours of the case by about 1 meter.
With additional two fuel tanks in the center plan, each in the total mass of fuel reaches l. Antonov designed the en to perform tasks in the Arctic, so the plane can often be seen painted in clearly noticeable red and white colors, and not in ordinary blue and white. Iran equips its English external weapons, including a gun and cassettes with missiles.This Hodina aircraft takes off with the next group preparing to make a jump.
Presumably, it serves as a flying laboratories for testing some developments using the Stals technology. This option is optimized as a guidance aircraft and an attack aircraft.
