Happy to have you on board Steve, just as long as your idea is not a whif as such, and you can verify your chosen subject did indeed fly with a genuine Soviet Red Star.SteveS wrote:I may join this, if it's not too late. Got a cracker lines up, it's a 1950s British cold war jet that 'flew with a Soviet red star'!

Sorry PJ, thats a negative. Only aircraft types with a Red Star that fly from the motherland comrade.peejay75 wrote:do aggresor squadrons count?.
Sorry Steve, I refer you to rule 2 in the first post. (Admittedly I`ve updated the ruling to avoid further confusion, but this GB is for aircraft operated within the Soviet/Russian air force only and not capitalist copies...)steve149c wrote:I was hoping to slide in a Top Gun Northrop Mig F-5 tiger shark too!

Ahhh, come on TC, don't move the goalposts! I can confirm that my aircraft did indeed 'fly with a red Soviet star' - which was the original wording in the rules!tc2324 wrote:Sorry PJ, thats a negative. Only aircraft types with a Red Star that fly from the motherland comrade.
As the original suggester for this GB I comfirm that the idea was for a GB for types operated by the USSR and the modern day Russian air force. Those who wish to comfront the Peoples Commisar TC2324 will find that the working holiday to Siberia has sudenly become available!tc2324 wrote:Ok chaps, read the posts earlier and had a good long think about the comments made. Here`s my final conclusion.
I feel that I should stand by my initial idea that this GB should only include aircraft operated by the Soviet/Russian air force. The problem I have with including any aircraft that bore a red star is that it opens it up to far too many American types ranging from the Korean war through to today`s adversary types.
Someone could enter an F-86 Sabre in full USAF silver scheme and then say that because it has a kill marking on it, it`s eligable for entry. Same goes for an F-4 from the USAF, USMC or USN from the Vietnam war. For me, and I hope I`m not alone, this is not what this GB is about and I feel we need to define and be clear as to what and what is not within the scope of this GB.
So...., while that may not be the answer some members want to hear, can I remind you that the Soviet Air Force in particular, operated lots of western types which includes British and US lend lease as well as captured Luftwaffe aircraft. I`ve heard stories of more modern western types `captured` and evaluated by the Russians, (F-5 Tiger springs to mind), but as yet I have not seen any photographic proof. (Of course if you can supply that proof, you can enter it).
A quick google and 10 minutes of research will give you lots of ideas.
