Hi David, have you seen the recent Chinese movie called Sky Fighters (歼十出击)? It is like a Chinese Top Gun with rival J-10 and Su-27 squadrons. Crude but interesting aerial special effects, but it looks like real airplanes used in ground shots.
Here’s the trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dg4h0A1oS1g.
(I have the whole thing on video with English subtitles.)
I enjoy your great blog.
I was a F-4E driver in 496TFS at Hahn AB Germany in early 70’s… 4 Italian F-104s (acro team?) departed Bitburg AB and crashed in close formation a short time after takeoff… never heard why except possible lead error in low level barrel roll or loop… any memories of this event?
Hi,
it’s a quite famous incident. The four F-104s did not belong to any team, they were fighter bombers of the 6° Stormo (Wing) based at Ghedi. They were returning to their homebase after a Sqn Exchange or exercise (can’t remember it for sure). Lead plane’s pilot suffered spatial disorientation shortly after take off and crashed into a nearby mountain.
I’m not sure are you blogging about hi fidelity combat simulators but if you could post about Upcoming F35A module that plugs into DCS world that would be great
They just lunched a kick starter page where you can find out all the details
