Re: Aircraft Recognition
This definitely is PSed. And not a good one at that.
The Roaters are too big and wrong numbers.

Re: Aircraft Recognition
hard to believe this movie is 25 years old.
What was the "Mig-28" aircraft in the movie Top Gun. Was it an F-5 Tiger II ?

Re: Aircraft Recognition
Well yes , that does appear to be a Mi8 in the background
Re: Aircraft Recognition
^^ Is this Caspian Sea Monster
Re: Aircraft Recognition
No, its Lun. Original Caspian sea monster was lost in an accident.
Cheers....

Re: Aircraft Recognition
And original Caspian Sea Moster did not have roof mounted anti-ship missiles...this one had and could fire on the move. There is a video of this plane on youtube.

Re: Aircraft Recognition
Host it on an image hosting website like Tinypic, copy the url of the pic from the website and use the IMG tags to post it here. If the image is big, just post the url here instead of using the IMG tags.silod wrote:Beriev BE-200 multipurpose amphibious releasing the water during Paris air show.

Re: Aircraft Recognition
What is this?
Re: Aircraft Recognition
^ Shiv sir, I think I have a book of the same series, but on civilian aircraft. It has planes like the De havilland Comet etc. I can identify the style of presentation and the pics. Its a nice little book!
Edit: The Coleoptor pic reminded me of this book I had read on the second world war titled "German Secret Weapons : Blueprints from Mars". The germans tested an airplane like that in '44-'45.

Re: Aircraft Recognition
I have the military one. The civil and military books were the only year when a separate one was produced (1967 I think). I have the whole series from about 1959 to the mid eighties. For my generation this was the only way of staying up to date with mil aviationRaghunath wrote:^ Shiv sir, I think I have a book of the same series, but on civilian aircraft.

Dunno if this has been posted earlier :
The Convair Kingfish that lost out to Lockheed's A-12 in the late 50's as the stealthy high-altitude/high-speed reconnaissance a/c

Re: Aircraft Recognition
Saar the image is total photushoppe. I don't think the Kingfish was even built and there are two in the image.rsharma wrote:Dunno if this has been posted earlier :

Re: Aircraft Recognition
Agree Guruji, it was a design/concept that lost out to A-12.shiv wrote: Saar the image is total photushoppe. I don't think the Kingfish was even built and there are two in the image.
But the point is, the design depicted in the image was there , available to the Great Khan as early as 1959.
Impressive, no?
Re: Aircraft Recognition
sharmaji - I got very suspicious of that image because the design is too modernistic for the 50s. It looked to me like a 21st century imaginative rendition. So I did some digging and sure enough I found an authentic reference from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. There is an e book with images and the images are clearly 1950s and not the photushoppe image above.rsharma wrote:Agree Guruji, it was a design/concept that lost out to A-12.shiv wrote: Saar the image is total photushoppe.

Re: Aircraft Recognition
Appreciate the link Shiv saar, very informative.
Re: Aircraft Recognition
Shiv saar, didn't know where else to ask you, so doing it here. What happened to the "Ode to the Mig-21" video that you had uploaded on YouTube? I can't find it in your list of uploads there anymore.
Re: Aircraft Recognition
Oh that - in fact I think I deleted it by accident while clearing out some outdated videos - I forgot to uncheck the "delete" box for that and some other videos I did not want to delete. I will locate it on my hard drive and re upload it - but I am currently looking for alternatives to YouTube. Maybe Vimeo or something - I suspect there is a Paki contingent sitting in YouTube - or there is something funny going on.nachiket wrote:Shiv saar, didn't know where else to ask you, so doing it here.

Re: Aircraft Recognition
For the first time today, I saw a fighter aircraft flying in Bengaluru. I am new here, and over the past month, I heard the thundering, but have never been able to spot any aircraft. Today, I realized the truth in what Shiv said at the beginning of this thread. Aircraft recognition is a skill, developed over years and recognizing an aircraft in a picture is very different from identifying one that is flying at high speeds.
The aircraft I "thought" I spotted today was a Mig 27
My next best guess was a Jaguar!
I absolutely have NO idea which one it was though. I can say with 'some' level of certainty, that it wasn't a Su-30. Can anyone please help me? I was thinking, maybe a listing of squadrons in and around B'luru, so that I can narrow it down to a few aircraft, next time I spot one.
