Yep.. the B-52 also has those blast shields.. Also.. I will not say that I have one , because of course they would be US Government property, and maybe even "Classified".. But They had Flash blindness kits in the pilot and co-pilot seat kits. They are a plastic case, with a pair of the coolest black with gold lenzes goggles. Also in the kit is a sealed eye patch. The concept is while bombing with nukes, they were to place the eye patch over one eye, then the goggles. The goggles, you can actually look strait into the sun with. WHile bombing low level runs, the goggles would protect your eyes from the nuke flash. The eye patch was a secondary procaution in case the goggles did not work like they should. In that case, you can remove the goggles and the eye patch and at least have one eye to fly home with.. I still have "memories" of one of those kits...

Ditto flying an F8 Skyraider on a ground attack mission.

B-36 bombers with an F-86 Sabre or Goblin mini-fighter slung under the belly.

Early semi-blind SAM missiles coming up at ya....

North Korean dumb fire rocket FlaK....

All those crappy early post WW2 US Navy jet fighters with the underpowered and unreliable Westinghouse J-34 jet powerplant....

Sounds better the more I think about it....

Forgot this post in all of the national controversy, but yeah! My thoughts exactly, theres a lot more variety to the aircraft flown in korea than most realize also: TWIN MUSTANGS! I love how the Air Force thought: whats better than one mustang? Two mustangs obviously! If it worked for Twix candy bars it can work for the P-51, so they just welded a couple together and the result: AWESOMENESS!

I forget who said it but somebody back there said they thought it wouldn't be very cool due to the early stage of jet development, well to each his own, but the F-86 and MiG-15 were very reliable and well engineered aircraft for their generation, its basically like WW2, just a lot faster. See the MiG Alley episode of Dogfights, its one of the best ones for great guns battles.

seraph was using the La-5FN to be correct . nice game though foz .The outrunning worked for a few sec, untill you made a turn

[Robotic Pope]

crap that doesn't sound good for our Hurricanes. I'm online now.

Did you know that the Vulcan could out turn an F-15 at very high altitude? cool huh.

Imagine being an Argentinian pilot based at port stanley during the falklands conflict. Then imagine that Vulcan roaring over the airfield with impunity and bombing the crap out of the runway. They must have **** there pants when they heard it.
