Do you mean the plane use a microsoft software ?






I already posted that pic, but that pic allways make me laugh to death...I'm not sure that I know why.

Hey Nans, I was thinking France wasn't using the F-1 anymore.

And for the first time, I don't think that you have to laugh from the F-1 and France aircrafts technology. It's not fair, cuz the F-1 is going back to the sixties. So, it's an old aircraft ( like the F-4 Phantom ).

You see, sometimes I can be nice with France.

They just sell it to down on their luck dictators...

A few years ago, wasnt there a Mig at an airshow that flamed out at very low altitude from a birdstrike? If I am remembering correctly, the pilot ejected at something less than 15 meters altitude and still survived.

Talk about a good ejection seat!

Yes, It was at Paris-Air Show, something like a mig 31 or 37 making figures at very low altitude, russians accused France and USA to use Microwave jamming at Pris-Airshow, because there were still there the supersonic TUPOLEV crash in 1975...

Yours truly needs to research for a link, but saw on TLC (the learning channel)??, the Russians have developed a superior ejection seat - better than any in the USA. The US Air Force is considering (or has already) installing Russian ejection seats in US Air Force aircraft.
