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 "Pechs1" wrote in message ... Once again, anybody know of a place I can get it-VHS or DVD?? TIA P. C.

Old Phart Phormer Phantom, Turkey, Viper, Scooter and Combat Buckeye Phlyer 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, Dudley Henriques International Fighter Pilots Fellowship Commercial Pilot/ CFI Retired For personal email, please replace the z's with e's. dhenriquesATzarthlinkDOTnzt |

Ed.
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. Jake "Ed Rasimus" wrote in message ...

Anyone who had flown military trainers will understand the "combat Buckeye" metaphor. Quite often keeping body and soul together in the training environment is more difficult than when the enemy is more clearly defined. As for Turkey, that's an F-14 Tomcat. Viper, we should recognize as F-16 (in Navy livery in Top Gun) and Scooter, would be an A-4. Even a AF coot like moi can see that stuff.

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. Mary -- Mary Shafer Retired aerospace research engineer |

DBurch- (BUT
COMBAT? The Buckeye is a Navy TRAINER, isn't it?), but what types of pahane are/were the "Turkey", "Viper" and "Scooter"? BRBR '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. P. C. Chisholm CDR, USN(ret.) Old Phart Phormer Phantom, Turkey, Viper, Scooter and Combat Buckeye Phlyer |
