Hehehe...we have a PAKFA at the Headman Aircraft plant in Idaho too.

We're no respecter of persons when it comes to the very best aircraft from around the world:

Exactly, and I have a 1/100 th scale PAK-FA and a J-20 on my dresser gathering dust, in my imaginary mock combat, the PAK-FA has a slight edge "Danger Close" over the J-20 and that OVT is a help when they both get slow. I still subscribe to the engineering principle that Honda Motor Co. called "mass centralization" when they brought out the awesome CBR-1000, in other words the power plant and frame structure centralized the mass, and pitch changes are much more effortless about that center of gravity.

Oh, and very sweet model Jeff, I bought my from the old "Flying Mule" so that's kinda cheating, love the Headman Aircraft Co.s attention to detail!

Thank you my friend.

Headman Aircraft company has pretty much built all of the major powers principal aircraft.

We even have one each of all of the three of the F-35s. Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie!

Mr. Alpha:

Steering back towards target/topic and the Ruskie aircraft...I also really like my TU-95MS

TU95-093.jpg


TU95-100.jpg

Right, any pictures or reports on 6-2s first flight, it does seem odd that we have these reports and then nothing for months on end. This project continues in "fits and starts" it was impressive to see the first five flying prototypes returned to "flight status" and I was hopeful that this project would "fall into a linear progression?", but for whatever reason, it seems we are back into the "doldrums".

Dieno, are you hearing anything from your friend in the field?? it looks more and more like a money/sanctions issue??? All the Russian aggression against our surveillance aircraft seems to drive the West and Europe to greater conviction to jump into the fifth gen world. F-35s are going to be populating Air Bases all across Europe very shortly.

Meanwhile expect parts of Eastern Europe or former Warsaw Pac countries to lined up with the T-50s.;)

Oh, I surely am, but when would you tell us to expect that???? on January 1st, 2017????

everything you need to know about this program is wrapped up in the draw-down to a 12 aircraft T & E squadron, and next you're going to tell me India has written a contract for 500 FGFA??? sure, uh huh!
