Just been checking some of my records. I was impressed by one Flt Lt Maqsood Amir who managed to shoot down a Mig 21 after suckering the pilot into a low speed dogfight in an F86.
Some achievement.
My favourite post-war aircraft include:
AH-64D Apache Longbow- Yes a helicopter, top of the list.
B-36 Peacemaker- Awesome power for a bomber around the end of WW2.
Spitfire- The later 1950s re-engineering of this famous aircraft.
P-51 Mustang- The aircraft that really helped take the war to the German
heart-land.
B-52 Awesome adaptability in terms of roles.
B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber- Useful for early missions in taking enemy radar
installations and air defenses out relatively
safely, so that more 'normal' aircraft can carry
out their missions safely.
F-117 Nighthawk Stealth Fighter- Useful for same reasons as B-2.
ACH-47 Chinook- Armed gunship version of famous transport helicopter.
Mig-25 Fulcrum- Awesome adaptable Soviet front-line fighter.
Foxbat- A fast Mach 3 recon aircraft.
SR-71 Blackbird- A fast recon aircraft that is only just being retired.
U-2- A large single engined plane- largest single-engined plane ever built.
We used to get the 111's transiting out of Pease AFB in Mass nit sure if they are what you talking aboutNot an FB, actually. It's an F-111F. I think only Mountain Home had FBs. Or it might have been the base in NY whose name eludes me at the moment. The airplane is showing the loadout for the Libya raid.
