This website is the will of those who preferred to die rather than losing, don't open it if you lost your fighter spirit
| F-15 Combat Training taken at Kadena Air Force Base, Okinawa. I could have done without the music though. It took away from what these guys can do in the air. Sorry for the photo where I replaced the pursued Eagle by a Sukhoi. I doubt the EAGLE could make it, if it had been the case ! | From Fernand Dasseville | Comment from a fighter pilot : "This is without reservation the best video I have ever viewed depicting air-to air combat." The producer and photographer were able to show perspective of the entire arena in a way I've never seen. This is as "real" as it could possibly be ! When the pilot got into a scissors or Luffberry you can almost feel the g's !" |

Work Set to Start on Burma Spitfire Recovery
In two weeks, aviation archaeologists will start working to unearth what they expect will be as many as 36 new-in-the-box Supermarine Spitfires.
British warbird researcher David Cundall believes the fighters were
buried in crates near the end of World War II in Burma, now Myanmar. He
worked for years to locate the cache, and earlier this year secured the rights to dig up the aircraft.
Cundall said that a camera in a hole bored into the site reveals “an
object that resembles a Spitfire.” He said the crates were sealed with
tar and supported by teak timbers. British troops also placed a
protective covering over the crates to help prevent water seepage, he
said. The crates are thought to be buried about 30 feet underground
alongside a runway at the Mingaladon Airport.
Just why they would take the extreme measures to preserve so many of
the Griffon-engined fighters is subject to some controversy. Some say it
was to preserve them for later sale. Also, if there are, in fact, three
dozen pristine Spitfires to be found, the effect on market price for
the aircraft will be interesting to watch. Whatever the outcome, the
waiting will soon be over, as work begins on January 12.
