Pechs,

I got mine the same way you are trying.
In my case, someone from rec.aviation.military happened to see my post and
cloned his VHS version and sent me a copy. I think he had an original, and
the clone is pretty good. I can try to clone mine if you can't find
anything better.
But suggest you post to rec.aviation.military - even blue-suiters like that
program.

Frank

I have an original Beta version......... but no beta viewer. I'd sure
like to have a DVD if anyone runs across one. JD

Give the Blues a call PC, or even better yet, contact the alumni association
and inquire. I know the information is in the files someplace
is the last email I have on them if it helps any.
Frank Herbert did the book with Ballantine, and Paul Marlow produced and
directed the movie. (Gardner-Marlow-Maes) It was Harley Hall's guys , and
Skip Umstead was involved. Of course they're gone. The rest I don't know
about; O'Mara, Maslowski, Ernie Christensen, Shoemaker, Beardsley and
Switzer. Don't know who's still out there but the allum will put you in
touch. I'm sure somebody is going to have a handle on it that you can grab.
Good luck,

Let's see.. "Phantom", (BOTH VERSIONS!), I recognise, Buckeye I recogise, (BUT
COMBAT? The Buckeye is a Navy TRAINER, isn't it?), but what types of pahane
are/were the "Turkey", "Viper" and "Scooter"?

You are right on and if you want to get even more accurate, the Greek AF
used (still may) the T-2 as an attack platform.

We used TPS T-2s for Spin and once in awhile to let off some steam, ACM
platforms.


The USN TPS T-2s, with instructor pilots and crews, make the trek out
to the USAF TPS twice a year to teach the spin syllabus there, too. I
think that the USAF TPS used to use the A-37s for the spin syllabus
before the USN TPS started coming out, but I'm not sure; I know we,
Dryden, spun the T-37, mostly for .practice.

When I was down at TPS running around on the ramp for my flight in the
VISTA F-16, the T-2s were there for this spin training and, in an
amazing coincidence, one of the instructors was one of the few pilots
I knew at Pax, Ricardo. We had a nice visit and I got to look inside
the T-2 after we couldn't start the VISTA FCS because its battery was
dead. The T-2 guys weren't around when I tried to set the F-16
cockpit on fire a day or two later, though.

'Combat Buckeye', since we flew them in VF-126, a joke. Turkey is the F-14, a
bigger turkey there never was, the Viper the USN version of the F-16 Falcon.
'N' model, made for the adversary squadrons and Topgun. The baby of Duke
Cunningham when he was CO. Scooter was the A-4, also known by us as the
loveable 'Dog', Had E, F, F+ and M models.
