Interesting and "original" paint scheme....hmmm where have I seen this paint job before? This is their newly developed Saeqeh aircraft , which in loose translation means "Thunderbolt". Brief info of their new fighter plane. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HESA_Saeqeh It looks like an F-5 and an F/A-18 had a baby.

My favorite part is it says Air Force in English, and very daintily... :D
 
"Liberated" from USAF Air Defense Command stocks. We all had a couple of them.

Huh, given the time frame I thought they may have been doing filming on the destruction of the Death Star? Guess not.
 
To continue w/ the Maintainer theme (and stop the jet madness)...

Pic 1: My LPO obviously not impressed w/ the work being done.

Pic 2: Foreign DLQs...actually bringing the CO over to the "battle group's" commander. Bonus points if you can name the class of ship.

Pic 3: What happens when the XO doesn't secure his gear.

Well, I was going to say that technically you were wrong, but you fixed it. -1 for using Wikipedia to do it. It almost burned you, but you caught it. I can't remember if any Lupo Class were out there, but I don't think there were.
 
Here's another of trusty ER-57, WINCHESTER after working over a target for Mom.

In keeping with the maintainers theme... here's a start-up scene from NAS Miramar, early 1975. VF-21 F-4J on the ramp east of Hangar 1.


Is that the ass end of a NC-5? Be still my heart....:p

On reflection, no. It's not tall enough...
 
More for the maintainers and then some...

More to come.. just need to dig them outta the photo box and scan them.
