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.

I have an original Beta version......... but no beta viewer. I'd sure
like to have a DVD if anyone runs across one. JD

Old Phart Phormer Phantom, Turkey, Viper, Scooter and Combat Buckeye Phlyer

Let's see.. "Phantom", (BOTH VERSIONS!), I recognise, Buckeye I recogise, (BUT
COMBAT? The Buckeye is a Navy TRAINER, isn't it?), but what types of pahane
are/were the "Turkey", "Viper" and "Scooter"?

If you recognize two versions of the Phantom, how is it that you don't
recognize the contemporary of one of them, Heinemann's Hot Rod, AKA
Scooter, AKA [and nee] the A4D, later renomenclatured into the A-4?

I'll leave the Turkey and Viper to others. *BUT*. I sincerely hope
you have a broadband connection. You'll need it to download The Saga
of the Combat Buckeye. ;-

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.

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.

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.

Ah yes, the old T2 3 axis coupled entry!! God, that was fun.
TPS was a great bunch with Tex Birdwell, Paul Nafziger, Tom Flannery, and
Admiral Brown down there. We stole the bull off the roof at the Belvedere
across from the main gate one night after a bit of "attitude adjustment".

Ed- Viper, we should recognize as
F-16 (in Navy livery in Top Gun) BRBR

Please, not just the guys seeking publicity at TopPutz. VF-126, VF-43 and VF-45
owned the majority of the F-16N. Top Pooch had 8, the rest of us had 6, the
only Squadron not having a two seater was VF-126.

Get really tired when I talk about being in an adversary squadrion and the most
common question is 'ohhh, you were in TopGun"...yikes NOT TOP GOON....
