Back in 1975, I was so lucky to see the Red Arrows fly the Folland Gnat as their planes. This event took place at a time the pilots were allowed to fly over the public at very low altitude, before the Ramstein airshow accident in 1988. The Red Arrows started their performance by having all nine planes arrive at the same spot from all directions at the same time, at slightly different, but very low altitude, barely a few feet above the ground, over the public.. They were flying so low that you couldn't see or even hear them coming. Breathtaking!!

Fun fact : F 86 was sold new to the commie countrie yugoslavia back then. Although they were a commie country they didn't get along with the soviets (more: kzread.info/dash/bejne/a5ujtZOneLDFXag.html ) they were a 3rd way in the world because of that US sold them fighters to protect them agains possibility of soviet invasion in the Stalin time.

I'm a fan of Folland Gnat because the are called "Saber Hunter". Pakistani Sabers were formidable but Indian Gnats hunted them like pigs.

Sabre and MIG 15 and MIG 21 are a Dream of a jet! The sabre looks so smooth flying, like a riding a bike but in air! I want to fly in one of those!!!

i love the F-86 not only is it really recognizable it also showed in 1 episode of the 80s Blue Thunder TV show.

The MiG 29 and SU 27 were definitely the most surprising. The F 4 and Harrier were quite surprising as well. I'm probably most interested in the Sabre simply because I don't need anything exceptionally epic. If I got to choose one free, it'd be the MiG 29 probably. Only problem is, I doubt I could handle the G's that any of these aircraft would present me with even when doing simple turns.

A simple turn in a fighter is going to be about 2-3 G's which any human being should be able to handle just fine. You can also just bank it up to 30 degrees of turn and not pull and it will do a standard rate turn without pulling any G's.

In my active duty days I was fortunate enough to fly the F-4 out of K2 Airbase in South Korea. Now, I was the dentist at K2, and as you might suspect, the base dentist doesn't normally get to fly an F-4. In my case I traded. The wing commander asked me to extend my one-year, remote assignment to a second year in exchange for a ride. Took me a little over a nanosecond to decide. I traded a year of my life for that flight with my wing commander. I may be the only AF dentist to fly, hands on the stick, mach 1.1. I barely felt the transition to supersonic. I even got to do an Immelmann. The aircraft is SO powerful that the joke was: "What do you do if you lose an engine in the F-4? Answer: Climb and investigate."

Just to set the record straight, all models of the F-4 Phantom (even the USAF versions) have those "Little Foldy Wings". We used them frequently on our RF-4C's in Germany ... we could fit more of them into the maintenance hangar. Great airplane, I miss working on them a LOT.

You would have loved the place in those days. When the Canadians left they locked every door inside and out and threw the keys into several 55-gallon drums. The first order of business for all new arrivals was to sort through piles of keys to find the ones to open the doors of the areas assigned as offices or shops. I believe most of the enlisted barracks and bachelor officers Q's were open and serviceable but family housing units (Three-story stairwell units, God you just had to love them) were not available for about 60 to 90 days.

Modification that can be done on SU-27 (US Edition) 1. Reverse Engineer and small upgrades of the engine 2. Swap the old system with the new one that's on f18 (trust me) 3. Swap the old PESA radar with the AESA radar for more range detection capability 4. Try to add some US missiles like AIM 120 AAMRAM and AIM 9X Sidewinder as the main weapon 5. Change the paint to gray or black like F15 SE (looks cooler if you ask me) 6. If you can fit the M61A1 Vulcan into the jet, do it, if you can't, no need to push it, as long as you can make the ammo, you're good to go

Also fairly maint. free. When a Russian defected to Japan, US Gov. took the Mig to Area 51 thinking they may get a few flights out of it before having to service it and without parts it would be useless. They ended up flying it for years without needing service (parts obviously). Interesting story. This is where they found out how robust and durable the Russian equipment was. Very different mindset in Russia. These planes are stationed way out in the middle of nowhere with few support personell and sit for months on end with little flight time. Nato fleet is way better serviced, but that equipment also needs it more. Our systems are way more fine tuned, but less robust IMO.

very cool, have to check that out next time I'm over there.

My dad bought an older RAF jet provost fighter trainer, when I was a kid. Helped him build it piece by piece. Nothing like these but still fun

I saw the same F4 advertisement and I couldn’t believe it! I was a weapons loader on the F16 in the late 80’s and trained on an F16 that was right next to an F4. The thing is a REAL monster! Almost scary. I think I’d have to get a trainer for a couple of years before I flew that thing. Totally worth the price. The ad says it’s about a million dollars away from being ready. Still worth it. Otherwise, either of the MiG’s would be great too.

I saw that F-4, last i checked it went up to $8 Million and then they took the price down. That right there is my dream

The A-4 is not a fighter. I flew the F-4 and $2,900,000 might buy this one but you would go broke keeping it in the air. Even on active duty, they were beasts to keep flying and the support equipment is staggering. The J-79 engine while being one of the best was a maintenance nightmare. Every stator blade on it was moveable with the throttle so you can just imagine the linkage that went with it. It also meant no turbo lag or windup like most jets at the time. Instant thrust! A little-known fact but the F-4 could carry more ordinance than a B-17 bomber.

I flew the L39 which is only jet I ever flew and it was awesome. L-39 was also a light attack aircraft. It was basically used as a trainer though

That Company in Rockford, IL, Pride Aircraft, used to be called North American Aircraft, initially had the SU-27’s, back in early 2000’s. The US Military found out about it and banned them initially. They were torn apart and shipped in a packing container back to Russia where they sat for 3 years. Then, the military allowed them when the F-22 was already out and F-35 was about to be released. So, they’re now back in the states with a lot of limitations on airworthiness. I mean A LOT, because the maneuverability of an older plane like this is capable to hang with the new stuff the US has. As for the Harrier I think I remember hearing at Oshkosh during the demo it goes thru 100gal distilled water per 5min while hovering to keep the nozzle cool.

You can push 1450 knots (1669 mph) before getting overspeeed and buffeting in the Su-27. Useless correction, but I have to rep for my favorite bird.
