Þetta var mjög áhugaverð síða.

Þegar ég var pjakkur þá átti ég spilastokk frá USAF með öllum þessum flugvélum á sem var notaður til að kenna hermönnum að þekkja þessar vélar. Ég man alltaf hvað sumt af þessu var ótrúlega framandi og sérstakt. Það væri gaman að sjá þessar vélar á svona safni eða helst á flugsýningu. Ég fór á stóra flugsýningu hér í DK fyrir 2 árum síðan en þá var eiginlega ekkert af rússneskum vélum nema það allra nýjasta sem er eiginlega alveg eins og þetta ameríska hvort eð er...

Talandi um spilastokka, hvar er hægt að nálgast spilastokka með gömlum racecars muniði?

Já nákvæmlega!!!! Old days maður...

OT. Hvort ertu að fljúga farþega eða cargo vélum Sæmi?

Bæði.

og er ekki stuð á cargo?

Paris Air Show crash

At the Paris Air Show on 3 June 1973, the development program of the Tu-144 suffered severely when the first Tu-144S production airliner (reg 77102) crashed. While in the air, the Tu-144 underwent a violent downwards maneuver. Trying to pull out of the subsequent dive, the Tu-144 broke up and crashed, destroying 15 houses and killing all six people on board the Tu-144 and eight more on the ground.

The causes of this incident remain controversial to this day. A popular theory was that the Tu-144 was forced to avoid a French Mirage chase plane which was attempting to photograph its canards, which were very advanced for the time, and that the French and Soviet governments colluded with each other to cover up such details. The flight of the Mirage was denied in the original French report of the incident, perhaps because it was engaged in industrial espionage. More recent reports have admitted the existence of the Mirage (and the fact that the Russian crew were not told about the Mirage's flight) though not its role in the crash. However, the official press release did state: "though the inquiry established that there was no real risk of collision between the two aircraft, the Soviet pilot was likely to have been surprised."[3]

Another theory claims that the black box was actually recovered by the Soviets and decoded. The cause of this accident is now thought to be due to changes made by the ground engineering team to the auto-stabilisation input controls prior to the second day of display flights. These changes were intended to allow the Tu-144 to outperform Concorde in the display circuit. Unfortunately, the changes also inadvertently connected some factory-test wiring which resulted in an excessive rate of climb, leading to the stall and subsequent crash.[4]

A third theory relates to deliberate misinformation on the part of the Anglo-French team. The main thrust of this theory was that the Anglo-French team knew that the Soviet team were planning to steal the design plans of Concorde, and the Soviets were allegedly passed false blueprints with a flawed design. The case, it is claimed, contributed to the imprisonment by the Soviets of Greville Wynne in 1963 for spying[5][6]. Wynne was imprisoned on 11 May 1963 and the development of the Tu-144 was not sanctioned until 16 July. In any case, it seems unlikely that a man imprisoned in 1963 could have caused a crash in 1973.

Bæði.
