The March museum also has some MIGs on display. A lot of the collection is outside and you can get really close and touch them32wildbilly wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 10:22 am Holy Crap!

You can see the walkway in front of her where you are only a few feet and get an excellent view into the cockpit (and then you realize how painful that flight must have been!). It's hard to make out, but you can see the frame for the protective glass wall that is there now. If you know where to look you can still find the dent where the asshat's paint jar hit it![]()

Here is Jason's response:
"Yep I closed it (warehouse33auto.com) on 12/31/20, I was getting too many chargebacks. It was killing me. I still have all of my parts sources, so I can still offer the same prices on parts if people want to email me. And yes on Blue Label Racing, we're busy as ever."

I was going to order up a set of window seals since I'm getting closer to finally doing my regulators.
Not for $300 each / $600 for the pair. Holy hell!

I think the A&S has a Mig in their Vietnam era section, but it's been too long. It's the Corsair, SR, Shuttle, Enola, Concord, and F4 I go to be awed by.JayG wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 3:37 pmThe March museum also has some MIGs on display.

Ooohhh...the F4 "World's Leading Distributor of MiG Parts" and "the triumph of thrust over aerodynamics." Back in the 80's the Nebraska Air Guard flew F4's and when two or three of them took off to the south over the shop I worked in rattled all the windows in the place. It was awesome! One powerful "Brick".

In middle school shop class we did model rockets once. I hot glued a jacketed .45 slug into the end of the motor and then glued it to a F4 model. Amazing that the teacher let me "fly". Turned out it was as aerodynamic as the real thing. Amazingly for all the spinning on the ground it did, no one was hurt and the bullet didn't hit anyone or anything (yay for cow fields).32wildbilly wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 5:13 pm Ooohhh...the F4 "World's Leading Distributor of MiG Parts" and "the triumph of thrust over aerodynamics."

My first real job was an aircraft parts supplier (yes $5k hammers were a real thing). Shortly before leaving the owner had bought an ex F4 frame to scrounge parts from and verify things. I had a blast crawling all over that thing to pull parts.
