 An aircraft is a vehicle that is able to fly by gaining support from the air, or, in general, the atmosphere of a planet. It counters the force of gravity by using either static lift or by using the dynamic lift of an airfoil, or in a few cases the downward thrust from jet engines. Although rockets and missiles also travel through the atmosphere, most are not considered aircraft because they do not have wings and rely on rocket thrust as the primary means of lift. The human activity that surrounds aircraft is called aviation. Crewed aircraft are flown by an onboard pilot, but unmanned aerial vehicles may be remotely controlled or self-controlled by onboard computers. Aircraft may be classified by different criteria, such as lift type, propulsion, usage, and others.

The outstanding engineers at Meier Motors are the sort of guys many of us, of course including me, would love to visit at their hangars to let them show us what's their job about. Anyway, any of us can make an educated guess
 109s, a 190 with a 'chromed' engine fairing, a DeHavilland Tiger Moth, a Chance Vought F4U Corsair, a Boeing Stearman, North American's Harvard IV, AT-16 Texan and P-51 Mustangs, single and double cockpit Supermarine Spitfires, Hispano Aviación HA-1112 Buchón, etc. You'll love this place as much as I do, for sure  :http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/sho...104523&page=16 AA_Engadin

Today I suggest to come down with an F16 pilot above the Serbian air defence hit by what appear to be a SA3 (modernized).
There is not much to see in this vid but more to ear. Please take attention to the radio chatter and the remarkable markmanship of Hammer3. Understand also the nervous tension of his wingmen with some of the voices switching to little girl tone as much depicted during WWII. Copying and pasting two good comments, here is the resumé of the action... Enjoy ! Originaly posted by Tani: In this video Crack 73 is a SEAD (suppression of enemy air defense) escort and Hammer flight appears to be a interdiction or BAI flight SoA: 1:36 Crack 73 fire AGM-88 at an SA-6 bearing 100 2:05 Crack 73 detects anti-aircraft artillery radar on RWR 3:08 Enemy Radar/emitter in active mode warning 3:10 Hammer 3 detects SA-3 north 3:20 Hammer 3 taking evasive against SA-3 launch, heading 060, gets hit, probably left 3:33 Crack 3 taking evasive 3:58 Crack 3 fires an AGM-88 at the SA-3 which ambushed the package, at, bearing 154 for 24 miles 4:02 SA-3 launch on Hammer 2, Hammer one tells his wingman to brake (probably seeing the missile) Last edited by TomcatViP; 10-07-2012 at 07:10 PM.
