RE: Army Museum N9 part 3 Final

in ASEAN HIVE COMMUNITY3 days ago

If you like these sorts of museums you would proabably really enjoy some of the ones they have in Vietnam. There are a lot of them all over the place mostly from the war with USA. The tunnel systems and bunkers are just unreal.

Oh yes. I definitely enjoy going through all these relic weapon. The reason I care is because it's relate to this country I was born. Also, the Skyhawks we purchased was 88 units of used fighter jets from the Merican, only about 40 of them flown again 😅 lesson learned, don't buy second hand war planes. Matter of fact, don't buy discontinued war planes 😅

In the original Top Gun (1986) movie, the character Jester (played by Michael Ironside) flies a Douglas A-4 Skyhawk.

Jester, along with the other TOPGUN instructors like Viper, used the A-4 Skyhawk as an "aggressor" aircraft to simulate enemy MiG fighters during training exercises against the student pilots in their F-14 Tomcats. The A-4 was chosen in real life by the Navy's Fighter Weapons School (NFWS) for this role due to its nimble performance and the fact that it was readily available as older models were being decommissioned.

In the film, the A-4s were painted in a camouflage scheme or a flat black to represent the fictional "MiG-28" enemy aircraft.
