facthunter Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 It's shopped anyhow. The speed difference is too much by far. The Cessna can't reach the speed the tanker lands at and if the wake turbulence touched it the little one would be tossed to destruction.

red750 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 That's why it's in the silly pictures thread and not the gallery. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Well I've pointed out that it's silly, too. Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Koreelah Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 There was a pic of three generations of British fighters; each had a major AoA difference as the jet struggled to not fall out of the sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylon500 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I had a photo somewhere of an F18 formating with a Sopwith Pup replica at Schofields way back when... Ah, found a linked version... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Koreelah Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Both of them working flat out at opposite edges of their respective flight envelopes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylon500 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 And yet both on the verge of getting flutter😱 (The fins of F-18's are known to flutter at high alfa flight) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flightrite Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 There’s no difference between the two in some ways, both were designed to kill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 The prop stopped midflight, so they had to be towed home. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flightrite Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 It’s actually called the ‘box office’ when two shielers are at the controls, scary stuff😂😂😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Anyone got a de-clutter button? Cockpit of an An-12, military version of the An-10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 That's fairly normal for an analogue cockpit with all the engine and fuel etc jiggers, Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Can't see any throttles. Must be overhead, 4 engines the centre panel is mostly relating to them. Pressurised cabin only and carries a flight engineer. Panel lighting probably controlled by about 8 rheostats. Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Koreelah Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Looks like the designers were faced with an oversupply of analogue instruments. Like the Bristol Two Litre, a sleek aluminium car produced after the war; it had a plethora of gauges right across the whole dash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I doubt there's much there that isn't necessary. Lots of wheels/brakes antiskid 8 fuel tanks and valves and pumps multiple hydraulic and emergency say air propsynch and torquemeters. Turbine temp, electrical systems Pressurusatin and air conditioning emergency flap ext,etc etc. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
