Mandrake Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Interesting pictures, I had seem the Vampire one before but the F-5s are new to me. Im guessing the F-5s came via Vietnam? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I have never seen the Vampire pic before - any more details? origin etc ?? There is an ex-Vietnamese Northrop F-5E Tiger II in the Polish Aviation Museum at Krakow.... It came from the Soviet Union - so it might be the same one...???

Jan Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 There is an ex-Vietnamese Northrop F-5E Tiger II in the Polish Aviation Museum at Krakow....It came from the Soviet Union - so it might be the same one...??? not necessarily via the Soviet Union... ...there is also one F-5 in Prague aviation museum ....the Tiger came in the early 1980 directly from the Vietnam (perhaps in exchange for one of L-39 that were being delivered to the Vietnam at the same time) ...so it seems quite a few F-5s got into different countries of former WarPact directly from the Vietnam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flanker Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 F-5 on photo is ex-Vietnamese photos are from one russian magasine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 That is the F5 from Topgun. Some may not know this but Viper defected with the F5 to the USSR when Hollywood would not give him top billing in the movie Topgun. Tom Cruise received all the glory and well now you know the rest of the story :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Interesting pictures, I had seem the Vampire one before but the F-5s are new to me. Im guessing the F-5s came via Vietnam? Funny, I'm the opposite case as you, being familiar with the F-5 but not of the Vampire. I had heard of an F-4 sighted at Zhukhovsky, but never saw photos. 'Til now.

Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 BTW, any clues what specific model of F-4 that is? I'm trying to see the nose underside better, but maybe a J or an RF? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EF Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 (edited) Well, I've read somewhere (WAPJ or IAPR) that the F-4 and Mirage are just some wooden mock ups. Edited May 9, 2006 by EF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
modelldoc Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Hi, have a look at the Phantom and the Mirage, they are full with weapons and equipment. That is mysteriuos! An they standing free for all at Khodinka! You see also the Myastichev M-50 and 52 at this picture, thats are in the early sixties, before the Vietnam war and the six day war against Egypt. And nobody miss one of this planes. modelldoc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 F-4 and Mirage I don't know about the Mirage but the F-4 seems a little "funny" to me ... The nose looks stubby for even a short-nosed Phantom and the tail fin seems to tall ... Efrain may be right about them being wooden mock-ups ... Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horrido Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 You see also the Myastichev M-50 and 52 at this picture... Where? The M-50/52 was the four-engined attempt at a supersonic bomber. I only see an M-4 Bison. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vingtor Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 To me the Sabre photo looks like it's very poorly retouched. The stars tilts the wrong way. Nils Quote Link to post Share on other sites
