Posted: Mon Jul 29, 2013 4:28 pmI got some great dvd's today in lieu of a debt owed. A series called "strike force" by a company called DV1.
I have "Harrier" , "buccaneer" and "Mig-29" I havent seen much of this footage before.
The harrier one is very good .... full history and interviews with Mr Bedford and Mr Farley (test pilots)
Had no idea that they were messing around with super simple controls for the harrier, replacing the throttle and nozzle controls with a POV type button on top of the stick ..... making the transition for new pilot much easier .... and lots of other type related trivia
Happy to loan them out if anyone is interested .
p.s Just saw them on mighty ape as well.
