LASTWOODSMAN | 27-Dec-16 17:15 | This brief "Flight Story" about Van Coc on "Historic Wings", tell the REAL story of the Air War in Vietnam... website - http://fly.historicwings.com/2012/12/north-vietnams-leading-ace/ |
Skyediamonds1985 | 27-Dec-16 19:05 | Read the whole article. Very interesting. It was both difficult and "weird" to read something that portrayed us as being the "enemy." Just goes to show there are two sides to everything, including war. Would make for a lively debate outside the scope of this site. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year. |
Skyediamonds1985 | 27-Dec-16 19:12 | Also read your previous postings on the history of the MIG-17 and its performance. I personally saw the -17 go into "burner" in a close circuit air race against the L-39 in Reno. Even then, the Albatros won. The crowd loved it. |
LASTWOODSMAN | 27-Dec-16 19:32 | You are right Skye, there are two sides to every story - the trick is to spend equal amounts of time researching each side of the story, before espousing an opinion. No one can burn down today's "Library of Alexandria" - the Internet - not yet anyways. Red Bull has a Mig 17 in their airshow - I would like to hear the audio with no music in the background - that must have been very cool... |
