The Vulcan is much nearer to the camera? To me seems nuch bigger than I thoughtJust post any picture you have or come across for aircraft of this era. And dont see a need to start a new thread for it.
In this case, a Vulcan and a B52 in flight over Edwards AFB. July 10th 1961

Nice pics, any idea about the significance of the red stars before the number and the medal after the engine intake?
Thanks. Missions over Afganistán?That's the MiG-25 RBT , a reconnaissance-bomber. The red stars are the mission markers reflecting the number of sorties, which has remained from 47th Borisovskiy and Pomeranskiy GRAP ( Guards Regiment of Long Range Reconnaissance ).

Thank you for this, much appreciatedAccording to the Australian Serials & RAAF History sites:
So basically, the French sold the Australians on the Atar-9K, but only delivered the weaker -9C.
Looking at the history of the Mirage IIIs in RAAF service, the ATAR 9C was the cause of several accidents and fatalities (but then, so were almost all engines of that generation).
I don't know where this image came from (found it somewhere on the internet), nor who made the statement quoted... but if true, then....
