Nightshade/PR

All I could do to manage to limp back to base after this mission.........

Horsepower (HP) The unit of prop engine power is typically measured in horsepower (HP). This measurement reflects the engine's ability to produce rotational work, which is crucial for propeller-driven aircraft. Additionally, brake horsepower (BHP) is often used to represent the power output directly at the crankshaft, while shaft horsepower (SHP) is the actual power available to turn the propeller.

To give the FNG's something constructive to do besides bothering your azz with D A questions.

When you think you're high enough, you probably ain't. Dammit.

That's a REALLY nice shot....

Perhaps this? Figures 1-3 & 1-16 Maybe? T.O. 1F-4E-34-1-1 - Aircrew Weapons Delivery Manual (Nonnuclear) - F-4E (15-12-1986).pdf

This bunch is determined to kill my intrepid a$$..........

Wayyyyyyyyyyy too early & cold for me.....

Need some altitude for an intercept

Often, you just marvel at the 1st Class work......

Kill the Comm Building in the Timor terrain. Our escorts were an 8-flight oF-16's from the RNZAF. We got into the target area, but ran into a flight of PLAAF J-14's, 8 J-7's, and a pair of J-7III's. It devolved into a running fight amongst the terrain, and at the end of the mission, only 2 F-16's made it out.

Working Nights

Scratch 1 Ammo Bunker I was gonna go home, but saw planes on the ramp all lined up......................................and we shot up the neighborhood before leaving

Another Day in the Med....

Midnight works for me.

There were some RAF Tornadoes in the area, and that must be who the SAMS were firing at, since they pretty much ignored us. Drop and skedaddle...... And I brought my #2 home as well.

Monday SUCKS, and I am apparently the world's WORST MiG pilot!!!! There I was, dead astern of an F-9, at a range where I SHOULD have been able to use a couple of rounds to make aluminum confetti out of this guy.........and I'm out of ammunition. And my wingman is an even worse shot than me. I just scrubbed the entire mission and went home.

Hellenic Wings: F-104G Starfighter by Nick Spanos - Seems to be out of print, according to everywhere I looked online. Even the base library here shows it out of print. So I can't help you there. But FWIW, I did find the following: https://www.916-starfighter.de/F-104_HAF_Vranas_master_2025.pdf Again, sorry I couldn't be of more assistance. F-104_HAF_serials.pdf
