Very touching as commentator Jim Hickey's late father flew PR.XIX Spits in Burma and one time had a run-in with three A6Ms. Was a magnificent display and one I had no prior knowledge about at all. Have some passable photos to upload later today. A PR spit vs 3 zeros???? GULP - don't like those odds! Reminds me of the story about the EF-111 pilot during the first Gulf War who scored a "manouvre kill" - managed to do so well at evading the MiG that was on his tail, that said MiG flew into the...

QUOTE (SA227 @ Mar 28 2010, 08:49 PM) If you have a read of Part 61.801 the helicopter and aeroplane instrument rating are separate ratings. You require a minimum of 10 hours dual instruction in the appropriate category of aircraft and you also need to meet the night flying requirements for the category of aircraft.

QUOTE (happytraveller @ Feb 24 2010, 06:47 PM) Saw this news item on the BBC, and what a great place it would be to visit if it was possible........4000 aircraft parked there! "Spread across the huge 2,600 acre site, equivalent in size to 1,430 football pitches, is a collection of over 4,000 retired aircraft including nearly every plane the US armed forces have flown since World War II."
