First Phantoms in Vietnam
Переглядів 10 тис.День тому
On the 5th of August 1964, the US Navy begins operations of a new aircraft over Vietnam. This new multirole aircraft - the F4 Phantom - will come to define Vietnam War era jet combat, but during these early missions the aircraft was still a work in progress. Today we look at the story of the first F4s in Vietnam. Please consider supporting this channel by subscribing at our Substack militaryavi...

    The F6f is a fine aircraft, and did an outstanding job. However, the F4U is a superior aircraft. In truth, the F4U is over all superior to even the F8f, outside the most limited of applications. By the time you reach the 1945 F4U-4 and F4U-5 versions, the F4U is probably the best of the era if you consider all tasks and performance criteria for fighter aircraft.

    You forgot to mention how the Army is leasing the AW139 in order to fill the capability gap left by the sudden removal of the MRH90. And how after the Defence Strategic Review 2022 (2023 final version) Army could be hit hard with cuts in the acquisition of conventional systems including helicopters to rebalance the budget due to the new emphasis on long range strike and speed capability. Don’t be surprised if the ADF sticks to just 12 new Blackhawks and scraps the rest to stay in focus of their goal under that review.

    I have vague boyhood memories of the last of the Sunderlands flying the passenger route to and from Norfolk Island (?,iirc) and Sydney Harbour in the early 1970's. Was it Rose Bay or maybe Rushcutters Bay they flew out of? You could see them moored on the water, painted mainly white. I so much wanted to go on one.

    0 seconds ago Ironically, it was the Brits that helped the US Navy adapt the Corsair for carrier use by adopting a sweeping turn approach and landing at the end of the turn at the last minute. If not for that, the Corsair may have been relegated to land based use only and not gained the notoriety it did in the war in the Pacific.

    I was an RAF “Techo” or as we say in Blighty “Techie” on various types and spent 24 years of hard work and play, I have to say that I, unfortunately, never worked with the RAAF but would have loved to. In my service I was lucky that only one aircraft that I had worked on (not on the day it crashed) crashed, a Jet Provost 5A flying from the RAF College Cranwell No1 Basic Flying Training School, both pilots, Instructor and Student safely ejected, but it was memorable because it crashed on the 28th (maybe the 27th) of May, My Birthday 🎁 and it had the fleet number (tail number) “28”. Given that this incident occurred in 1969 I think these two gentlemen have pretty good memories, nobody can recollect everything, even straight after the events, and I sure the Air Accident investigators would have coaxed as much information out of them so all in all I have great respect that they can still recall so much of an event that both of them, probably, would would care to forget. I wasn’t a Armourer so don’t know the specifics about seats sequences but, if memory serves, doesn’t the drouge chute bullet fall away once the chute has done its job, or does it stay with the main chute, I’m not sure but whatever the case if it was flapping around it could’ve easily caused Mr Heideman some pretty serious injuries, very lucky men. The striking thing for me is how much seemed to go wrong during the flight (just the aborted stall turn) and the ejection sequence, the canopy not going and the rear seat not going straight away, that obviously caused both gentlemen to be injured quite badly, the power outage at the control tower and the delay in the rescue helicopter getting on scene makes the whole thing a little bit worse than it should have been. Really glad that both these gentlemen survived the ordeal and lived to fly another day. Really enjoyed this conversation, very informative, interesting and, tbh, entertaining. Subscribed.

    Erich Hartmann was indeed the highest-scoring Ace of WW II and of all times, however, he was also the most reckless, but it was Hans-Joachim Marseille "the Star of Africa" who was indeed the greatest fighter pilot to ever have lived, a Legendary Ace, the true successor to Manfred von Richthofen, the Red Baron, first of the Aces, Hartman himself & several other pilots in their memoirs even admit this fact, KNIGHTS OF THE SKY NEVER DIE!

    The Macchi's never had a rocket seat, they were heavier. The PC9, that replaced the Macchi at least started out with the old charge seat due to weight. When I was there(Late eighties), the pilots banged out through the canopy due to a subsequent incident near Gin-Gin. They installed a canopy breaker on the top of the seat.

    • @allandavis8201
      @allandavis8201 2 дні тому

      Hi @glenmcc64, do you happen to know what manufacturer seats they were, I’m interested because my father was an Armourer in the RAF when this accident occurred, he was a great advocate for the Martin Baker seats and I don’t think that, apart from the Foland Gnat, the RAF have never used any other seats, obviously ejection seats were relatively new in 1969 and were developing in leaps and bounds, I feel that these two pilots were very very lucky to have survived considering the two issues they had, the canopy not going, and the rear seat not going instantly the seat pan handle was pulled. The other question I have is do or did the RAAF have the “caterpillar club” for pilots and crew members who successfully ejected??.

    Nice. I spent a lot of time watching as REDES behind Melbourne. Working upper deck watching the Trackers and Syhawks land was awesome. Again, the Government stabbed the navy in the back to spend more on the dole for indolents. A sad day when Melbourne was carted off for razor blades and Australia had no foresight for future operations as a blue water navy. My time, 1975-1995.

    P47 was more of a ground attack aircraft more like the role of the modern day A10s. Although it did both well. P51 was more of a air to air fighter or bomber escort more like modern day F16s or F22s. Even though different with 2 vs 1 engine, id compare the P47 over the P38 Lighting. Another incredible aircraft.

South Korea plans to develop air-to-air missiles, with Hanwha and Doosan working hard to develop high-performance aviation engines.n addition, the development of a shipwreck suitable for Korean medium-sized carriers has already been completed using the Boramet platform In the long run, the platform will also build bomber transport aircraft and introduce and improve foreign aircraft to build early warning aircraft

    This Korean aircraft can be considered a fourth-generation aircraft at most, not even a fourth-and-a-half generation aircraft. All weapons must be external. Radar can easily detect it. In front of fifth-generation machines, they were all crushed. What's more, South Korea can't even establish a wind tunnel test. It's hard to say whether this aircraft will have good data. Almost all core components are provided by foreign countries. The production capacity of this aircraft is also worrying. And the manufacturing quantity is controlled by other countries. At most, it can be considered an aircraft that looks like a fifth-generation aircraft.

    G'day, Wow, a nice little Triptych of Pterodactyls..., Telling tales from them long lost and Halcyon Dayze..., When young RAAFie Chappies used to be Handsomely paid to enjoy constantly preparing & Training for the Annual ANZAC-Day Flyovers... 1969 marked 3rd-class at Primary School, for me, and I think Glen Innes had a Mirage that year, on the day ; but that marked a definite wind-down..., in that two years earlier, on the Schoolday prior to the actual Holiday, we'd got an Overflight of 3 Vampires - merely going over all the little Country Towns' Schools, As PRACTICE for the Real thing...(!). Tally-Ho, then, Chaps...! It's ALL very good and wonderful, When the Grateful Taxpayers are buying the Fuel, stumping up for the Maintenance, Spares, Consumables, & and replacing any odd Hairygoplanes which might happen to have Bin-Broken, while Training to Save all Oz from the Threat of ever having to Share, equally - and having Selfishness being Prohibited, by Law...(!). Ho Yuss, Them were the Dayze...; Indeed..., indeedy do too, So very very true - When Every silly foolish one of us all BELIEVED such Fairystories to be True And neccessary, too. It's a pretty good explanation for what not to do, to a Macchi ; and what then happened, afterwards. Lucky enough, the local Bunyips and Yowies aren't actually Hostile, considering that flying over Friendly Territory is apparently so Perilous, Eh, what ! (say, to that, hmmmnn...?). Such is life, Have a good one, Stay safe... ;-p Ciao !
