Jesse C. Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 This is nothing new, the Russkies have been doing for years and we do it as well. Suddenly they are making a big thing out of it. 3 Quote Link to comment

Racer X 69 Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 The golden days of commercial air travel. No airmarshals. No jack booted thugs dragging passengers kicking and screaming from the cabin. No flight attendants punching young mothers in the face. Just a sweet biscuit stewardess asking, "Coffee, tea, or me?" Those were the days. *sigh* 3 Quote Link to comment

Jesse C. Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 If only they would have saved most of this stuff! At the very top of the pic is a Mistel Combo. A Junkers JU-88 loaded with explosives, basically converted into a bomb, with a Focke Wulf Fw 190 attached to the top that controlled both planes. The FW pilot flew the combo to the target and then released the Ju 88 to blow up stuff. If that is the same one I am thinking of, the Fw survived and is on display in England but the Ju 88 was scrapped. 1 Quote Link to comment
Z-train Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 The golden days of commercial air travel. No airmarshals. No jack booted thugs dragging passengers kicking and screaming from the cabin. No flight attendants punching young mothers in the face. Air marshalls were on flights starting in 1962. And there were no "jack booted thugs" involved in the United incident. Quote Link to comment

Don't forget the "Brummy Bar" that's Grizzly Bear twin engine night fighter in the middle. I have a model of that version. Not seeing the radar antennae, that just might be the bacic trainer version. 1 Quote Link to comment
