B52STRATO 215 Posted November 9, 2012 Hi to everyones. Is there still some "special" aircraft decommissioned but having their approved flight licence ? Does these Intruder wonders still got a legal clearance to fly ? Even uncommon aircraft such as the Alizée are now grounded, and probably for the rest of their life, considered as asbestos flying bricks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 451 Posted November 9, 2012 Other than so-called "warbirds" I'm not aware of any. Like the Vulcan in the UK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+JonathanRL 974 Posted November 9, 2012 I wonder why. The Swedish Air Force historical flight has a civilian _Viggen_. Sure, they went trough purgatory and back to get the licence approved, but they got it and have it for several other Jet Fighters from 60s and 70s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B52STRATO 215 Posted November 9, 2012 Like these ones. I'm aware that an ex-U.S.M.C AV-8A and B pilot is now flying a Harrier FRS.2 at some airshows. There is also a two seats F-100 who is still airborn, some A-4 and F-4, but it seems hard to find any fifty to forthy years old planes... like A-6, A-7 or even F-8...

B52STRATO 215 Posted November 11, 2012 It makes you want to come here, only to hear the screaming from the Dragonfly or the Magister ! Alas what will become of these wonders had once retired, will they let civilians be able to buy and fly them ? Or the air forces will let them become relics, preserved in museums (although it's always better than see them get dismantled and scrap) ? There are still an old M.S Paris who fly in France, the only problem is these commentators who still have to open their big mouths, restricting us from listening to the music of heaven.
