Wouldn't it make more sense to test it on the Mig where it has the right
airflow?

And until it does, at all speeds?

Shoot, I don't know. It just looked to me like it was a whole lot of work
making a really weird looking bird for a very limited purpose. But what do
I know? I was a Tank Commander...

Klankety Klank, I'm a Tank!

You mean like this?

Or this?




Boeing should have people to clear up all the miscellaneoous parts left at
the end of a production line, so accidents like this don't happen.


Reminds me of an apocryphal story that's been hanging around here for years,
about our local car assembly plant. Apparently one day in the '70s
they built a car with 2 doors on one side and the single door sports model
down the other.


I know it's true, because a friend of my cousin read it on the Internet.

It was (according to the sign near it) the test installation for the IAI
Lavi's radar system. I thought it looked weird enough for a plastic kit
conversion job for later for me.

But yes, it was strange and that's why I took the photo.

The IAF never used Avengers. IIRC, three were brought into the country as
cropdusters. I have photos of one painted up in US colors and parts of a
second one hidden back in a revetment. Both were brought to the museum
after being taken out of service as cropdusters.

As far as I know, the IAF never used Avengers.
Those were used as water bombers for firefighting.
