Title: MILAVIA: New Aircraft section, or upgrade...
Post by: Webmaster on April 08, 2005, 04:52:27 PM
I am considering to do the next aircraft section in similar fashion of the Su-27 section. Meaning, that will have extended variants, operators, armament, history and hopefully some good quality photography by semi-professional aviation photographers. Now I can pick a new aircraft (N) to add, or upgrade (U) an existing section. It depends on having a source available which can be used as a basis for more updated information from the internet. It also should be an aircraft with quite some versions or operators.

At the moment, I am thinking about the following:

N - MiG-23/27 (although my primary non-web source is from 1986)
U - F-4 Phantom (I've got the Airtime publication)
N - Tu-16 (got airtime's Tupolev bombers)
N - T-95/142 (same as above, although I need another one to supplement it)
U - F/A-18
N - Su-15
N - F-100 thru F-106 (got Airtime's Century Jets)
N - F-104 (most challenging of above, although already some good sources exist on the web)
N - Harrier
U - F-15 (good sources available on the web)
U - Su-25
U - Tornado (although I am planning a dedicated website)
N - Mirage III (got a good book on it)

Any preferences or other suggestions people?

I would love to see some stuff on the MiG-23/27 as that's an all time fave, but the century series jets runs that a very close second. (F-100 especially).

Thanks, yes it would be cool, but I don't have time for everything. I am personally more into the fast jets, than helicopters. But as you can see in the air force pictorials and aviation news, I don't forget about them!

Alrighty, the Su-15 section is online, check it out at http://www.milavia.net/aircraft/su-15/su-15.htm

We can have another vote again! To the list above, I like to add the AH-64 Apache, AH-1 Cobra and Mi-24 Hind helicopters!

The top picture is very beautiful, a swiss Mirage IIIRS (Recce variant).
Unfortunately, it was retired in 2004 because of budgetary reasons :'(
Even their victory in the European Recce contest in 2003 didn't prevent them from being taken out of service.

@Webmaster: I'd like a site about the Flogger familiy or the Mirage III/V family. They were the perfect counterparts in the 1960s.

I know there are many suggestions already - no doubt you're going to be busy for quite some time already - but I'd like to nominate the BAe Hawk family of lead-in fighter and trainer aircraft. There are several different export variants and designations for it to become a fairly broad topic.

Ah, yes, good one RecceJet, I almost forgot the Hawk. Nice little aircraft, which looks good in almost all paint schemes. Love the black ones and desert ones (UAE, RSAF) but the old grey RAF ones and the grey RAAF examples look very neat as well. And even the Reds look good, and red does not fit every aircraft IMHO. Should become a colorful section.

Sorry for the chopper fans, but I think I will do the Mirage family first, followed by the Hawk.

For me, it would be the Mi-24 Hind. Great chopper on ground and in the air.
I think it's the most beasty and ugly helicopter in the world, but that makes him so beautifull to see.
