This aired a few years ago on the History Channel or somthing similar. The Spitfire pilot should have let them sit in front.

Yes, I am a history buff, and I must say Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher in the "The Iron Lady" was spectacular! A must see if you get a chance. Meryl Streep is top 3 current actress and top 5 all time. To Quote Denis Thatcher: "BOSS knows best".Thats my Boss's name too.

F/A-4K Super "KAHU" Hawk
MAKO69 replied to MAKO69's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
I will look these over thanks for the ini info I wasn't worried about top end just curious how fast it would go. I know the plane would need a fully moving tail plane for super sonic flight. I just wanted the plane to have a fighting chance. -
F/A-4K Super "KAHU" Hawk
MAKO69 replied to MAKO69's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
I knew radar wouldn't be an issue because of the origonal KAHU upgrade, I may try that cannon option. I chose a gatling 50 cal because it is a very versatile round with many new options. There a lot of rounds available several types of anti armor, anti armor explosive, the list goes on. -
Been working on this for about a year. Yes she's got a burner swapped out the J52 for a F404-GE-402 very similar measurments. However what I may do in the future is use the tailpipe extension from the A-4H. I can only get MACH 1.15 out of her frame still. I've tried all the tricks there is just something in the SF2 world GOD that will not allow this plane to go faster. It was never about making this plane go MACH 2, I was just curious to see what she could do. It was never about top speeds anyhow just more thrust being able to keep high sub MACH numbers up for (ACM) dogfighting and maneuvering with heavy weapon loads, cause lets face it the scooter is slick and quick, but when you start whipping the ponies the speed drops off quick. Yes she can get gas hungry quick when dogfighting the big key is you need that 300 gallon center fuel tank for all load outs. I compared this project to what Carroll Shelby's 427 Cobra, take a small fast little vehicle and put in a more powerfull power plant . I changed out the HUD, cockpit, radar, added some contemporary weapons. Removed the colt 20 mm cannons added a( ) GAU-19 .50 calibur electrically driven gatling gun to the port side, ammo would be carried on the empty 20 mm cannon weapon area on the starboard side. I think she could give an F-18 Rhino a run for the money.

The F/A-4K Super KAHU Hawk. I've been tweaking this little b!tch for about a year. Yes she's got a burner, can only get MACH 1.15 out of her frame. It's not about top speed more being able to keep high sub MACH numbers up for (ACM) dogfighting and maneuvering with heavy weapon loads. Yes she can get gas hungry quick when dogfighting the big key is you need that 300 gallon center fuel tank for all load outs. I must say it's like Carroll Shelby's 427 Cobra a lot fun with your cloths on. Changed out the HUD, cockpit, radar, added some contemporary weapons. Removed the colt 20 mm cannon added a GAU-19 .50 calibur electrically driven gatling gun to the port side, ammo would be carried on the empty 20 mm cannon weapon area on the starboard side.

During WWII Santa had to get presents to the Children in Europe what did he use? You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donder and Blitzen., But do you recall. The most famous reindeer of all? Bell's P-39 Airacobra! Legend has it Santa even bagged a few Jerrys on one of these trips.

FAC Planes don't show up
MAKO69 replied to mono27's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I got to be honest I hadn't noticed this until now, maybe thats why he removed it. -
I would say that most of the "J" models, because of Vietnam had all the good used out of them. Airframes timed out and trapped out. Between all of the US air arms there where over 1400 F-4 Phantoms lost during Vietnam. Most being USAF models, but a good chunk being Navy "Js". The US Navy is dealing with frames being timed and trapped out right now. Its known wars speed up the wear and tear on war machines, this problem is felt among all the branches and their equipment. Many aircraft got timed out from the Vietnam Conflict. Late model F-8 where due for an upgrade, but they timed and or trapped out. The USAF Thunderchiefs some analysts feel because of the heavy loss/work load that the Thuds had mantained those planes lost 20 years from the airframes. More than half of the Thuds ever built were lost during the war, that ment double time work for the plane. Pilots of the USAF only had to do 100 missions, the planes possibly did thousands. The Navy with 6-8 month deployments with the potenttial of doing double the USAF 100 mission requirment, somtimes more. "WAR IS BAD" for your "WAR MACHINES". Hope it now makes a little more sense.
