Top Gun, aircraft identification, and advice for fan-writers and fan-artists.

Heyo, class is in session. This is going to be aimed towards primarily fanfic writers who want to include little details in their fics, and for fan-artists who want to do “accurate” aircraft representation in their works.

We’re going to talk about aircraft identification. Specifically related to the Super Hornet and markings. There are small nuances and details that are easy to overlook, but likely to have any extremely picky aircraft nerd on alert if they’re missed or mis-done.

Class is under the cut.

Let’s take a look at an example aircraft, shall we?

Can you count how many markings are on that aircraft?

If you counted 12-13 (one is on there twice), then award yourself a point. If not, then listen up. We’re going to work from nose to tail here.

There are four markings here, three of which are what I’d consider “critical” markings if you want to be accurate.

1 - Modex Number. Modex numbers, or simply Modex’s, are used to denote the squadron’s mission and specific aircraft in a squadron. Ripping from Wikipedia here, but the first number of a modex is used to denote mission type, while the last two are the aircraft itself. 1xx through to 4xx are used for Strike Fighter squadrons, typically those that fly F/A-18E/F or F-35C in the Navy and/or Marine Corps. 5xx is for Electronic Attack squadrons, flying the EA-18G Growler. Most squadrons will have twelve aircraft, so you’ll see numbers like 511 and 205 printed on them, but not 566 or 154. Additionally, these numbers are distinctly visible on them, as they are key for identification.

2 - Pilot name. Just below the cockpit is where the name of the pilot (and WSO for F-models) is printed. Typically, it’ll be the abbreviation of the rank, and either the first initial(s) or full first name and surname of the pilot, with their callsign or position below. Here’s a higher resolution example on an F-model Super Hornet. However, a caveat is that pilots don’t exclusively fly “their” jet during their career. It’s subject to whichever aircraft are available that day, depending on sorties and maintenance scheduling.

3 - Roundel. Below the canopy and under the leading edge extension is the roundel, which for the US is that star with the striped ribbon on either side. This is the most important marking on the jet as it allows the aircraft to be visually identified as being operated and owned by the United States of America. 90% of tactical aircraft’s roundels are subdued in nature as not to be immediately overt from a distance, though there are special aircraft liveries where the full colour roundel is displayed.

4 - Crew Chief name. This one isn’t a deal-breaker marking, as it’s something really only seen on the ground and by ground crews. The lead maintainer of the aircraft has their name on the jet, and unlike the pilot, they are the one “responsible” for the aircraft. It’s joked among pilots and ground crews that the jet really belongs to the crew chief, and that the pilot is only borrowing it from them.

That’s the nose covered, now onto the “spine”:

There are three markings here.

1 - Squadron ID code. The squadron identifier is written on the aircraft as another way to identify who the jet belongs to in a pinch. Each letter of that code relates to a designation:

V - Fixed Wing, H for Helicopter/Rotor Wing F - Fighter A - Attack FA - Strike Fighter AQ - Electronic Attack AW - Airborne Warning P - Patrol & Recon Q - Fleet Reconnaissance RC - Logistics Support T - Training X - Air Test & Evaluation

The number simply represents that specific squadron. So, the above example would be Strike Fighter Squadron Eighty-Six. It’s not like how the US Air Force name squadrons, like the 94th Fighter Squadron.

2 - Danger Air Intake marking. It’s partially hidden by the weapon’s pylon, but the air intake does have a warning diamond to indicate the danger from air sucked into the intake. It has happened in the past where deck crew have wandered too close to an aircraft’s intake and get sucked in. Again, these are low-vis subdued, but these were traditionally painted bright RED.

3 - On the front of the fuel drop tank, some squadrons embellish their tanks with squadron-specific markings. Not all squadrons do this, but some do. Some go small like the snake seen in the main image, while others go more bold. Again, not a major deal breaker: research the squadron and you’ll see if they do it on their drops or not.

And now onto the tail and rear. We’ll work top to bottom here:

1 - Modex. We covered this on the nose section, so we’ll move on.

2 - Squadron Marking. Alongside the identifier on the spine, all aircraft will have “artwork” that denotes their squadron, and it’s typically pulled from the squadron’s insignia patch. This is where you have a lot of variation, as some squadrons are low-key in their marking type while others are a lot more flashy, even if they are subdued in colour. Some squadron’s tail markings are very distinct and have the accompanying notoriety. Above is a sidewinder snake, for the eponymous VFA-86 “Sidewinders”. A few more examples are below:

VFA-143 Pukin’ Dogs

VFA-41 Black Aces

VFA-151 Vigilantes

3 - Air Wing Identifier. This is the two-letter code seen beside the squadron identifier, and like the alphabetic squadron code seen on the spines, these letters also have meaning. They’re used to denote which air wing the aircraft is currently assigned to, which is why if you look at a squadron’s aircraft pictures across a long period of time you’ll note that these letters (and the modex numbers) change.

A/N refer to the fleet, A being Atlantic Fleet and N for the Pacific Fleet. The second code relates to the carrier the air wing is embarked upon.

Using the pictures I’ve posted above as reference, here are some examples:

AC - Air Wing Three, USS Dwight D Eisenhower (Atlantic Fleet) AG - Air Wing Seven, USS George H.W. Bush (Atlantic Fleet) NH - Air Wing Eleven, USS Theodore Roosevelt (Pacific Fleet) NG - Air Wing Nine, USS Abraham Lincoln (Pacific Fleet).

4 - Carrier Assignment. Below the tail in small print is the name of the carrier that squadron (and air wing) is embarked upon. Pretty self explanatory.

5 - NAVY. Branch marking, also self explanatory. Note that USMC aircraft will have MARINES printed there instead.

6 - Serial Number. Located under the rear elevator fin, this six digit number is the aircraft’s unique serial number, which remains unchanged even if the aircraft itself is transferred to another squadron.

I hope I haven’t lost you yet, as I’ve got a few more things to quickly point out.

You may notice in your own research that some aircraft aren’t painted in low-vis markings like the ones I’ve shown here, and that some are fully decorated out. These are typically the “CAG” and “CO” aircraft, painted as such to foster esprit de corps within the squadron and air wing. CAG aircraft (given modex numbers of x00) are the aircraft “reserved” for the Commander of the Air Group (Air wing commander, essentially). Likewise, the “CO” birds are painted in a less-lively livery and given modex numbers of x01, and are reserved for the “Commanding Officer” of the squadron. Here are some examples:

VFA-103 Jolly Rogers CAG Bird

VFA-41 Black Aces CAG Bird

VFA-2 Bounty Hunters CAG Bird

VFA-11 Red Rippers CAG and CO aircraft

And last thing. Those off-yellow lines that you can see on the nose, vertical tail, and above the NAVY marking? They’re formation markers, and can be activated to glow at different brightness depending on situation requirements. Here’s how it looks at night/low light:

Hope this has helped educate my budding writers and artists! Any questions, don’t hesitate to leave a note, reblog with an @, or send me an ask.

Russia announces date of the first flight of the Sukhoi Su-75 Checkmate

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 08/16/2022 - 6:00 PM in Military

On August 16, it was announced when the first flight of the 5th generation Su-75 Checkmate fighter developed by Russia will be carried out. The fighter was launched last year.

Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov made statements about the 5th generation Su-75 Checkmate fighter, announcing that the first flight of the Su-75 Checkmate is planned for 2024.

In a statement to Interfax, Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov said: "Since the project was presented at MAKS-2021, feedback has been received from potential customers. Cost optimization and analysis of technical solutions was also carried out, which allowed a significant increase in competitiveness. The commercial appeal reduces the technical risks of the development of domestic single-engine aircraft."

Based on these studies, the time of the first flight was adjusted and changes were made to the project, Manturov said. According to him, the principle of modularity and modern digital technologies have made it possible to make these changes as soon as possible. Manturov announced that Russia plans to start flight tests of the Su-75 "as early as 2024".

"Times are as short as possible. Work on the Checkmate aircraft is now in preparation for the production of the first prototypes," concluded the deputy prime minister.

Developed by the Sukhoi Company, part of the Russian United Aircraft Company (UAC), the new Checkmate combat aircraft was first exhibited at the MAKS-2021 International Air Show, held in Moscow from July 20 to 25, 2021.

The takeoff weight of the aircraft is less than 18 tons and will use the Izdelie 30 engine, chosen for the Su-57 fighters.

The full-size mockup has not yet reached its final design. Rostec intends to market the aircraft, whose project is in the preliminary phase, to foreign customers and win investments. Although experts emphasize that the aircraft is very similar to the Su-57, they also compare it to a "su-57 single engine". The aircraft's canopy, landing gear and tail resemble the Su-57.

Currently, Russia does not have a 5th generation fighter. The twin-engine Su-57 is still defined as a 4.5 generation in terms of performance. Although there has been no official statement, Russia intends to offer an alternative to the F-22 with the twin-engine Su-57 and the F-35 with the single-engine Su-75 Checkmate.

Time to add some colour to the soXos Strike 7.1. Out of the 5 colours available I just couldn’t resist my favourite colour 🧡 the Matt orange canopy looks awesome and combined with the matching orange 1st RC main/tail blades and fins results in a stunning looking helicopter.

Which RC Helicopter Is The Best?

If you are looking for a good RC helicopter, it is easy to feel overwhelmed with all the options available. Beginners will want to go with a small, economical and easy-to-use helicopter, while photographers may want a helicopter that comes with excellent video and photography capabilities. Today we will review the best RC helicopters of 2019 to help you select the most suitable for you, whether you are flying outdoors, indoors or filming videos.

Best overall: E-flite Blade mCX2 RTF RC Helicopter

For the best combination of flight control, battery life and quality, look no further than the RC E-flite Blade mCX2 RTF helicopter. Already assembled from the first moment, this ready-to-fly model allows it to be operational in minutes. Perfect for beginner and professional operators alike, the mCX2 includes two flight modes: one is "RTF" (abbreviation for ready to fly) and the other is the "Blind & Fly" version that allows you to speed things up if you feel RTF is a little slow).

The coaxial design eliminates stability problems during flight and counter-rotating blades help maintain flight control with minimal user intervention. The 120mAh 3.7V lithium battery pack allows more than eight minutes of flight time and recharging takes around 90 minutes. With more powerful engines, a larger capacity battery, excellent control, and the best stability in its class, the mCX2 is a smart choice in all areas.

Best budget: Syma S111G

This palm-sized helicopter is only eight inches long, but what the size of the Syma S111G is missing makes up for it with a wallet-friendly price. Ready to use with five to six minutes of flight time, only 30 minutes of charging is needed for the S111G to return to the air, allowing dozens of opportunities to fly every day. The Coast Guard design adds an extra design touch to the durable frame that is more than capable of resisting beginner users who might find themselves on the wrong side of a crash.

Using an integrated electric gyroscope system, the S111G is easy to control and allows additional stability during flight. Coaxial blades provide extra stability and durability during flight.

Best for children: Haktoys HAK303

Designed for children ages eight and up, the Haktoys HAK303 mini remote control helicopter offers great flight control and stability. Fortunately for children, the flexible canopy design is designed to resist damage in the event of a crash, and the 50-foot flight range adds enough distance to fly anywhere in a house or interior area. Flight time is six to eight minutes and only requires a 30-minute charge to return to the air.

The built-in gyroscope increases flight stability (and helps build confidence in younger children), while ergonomic controls are comfortable to hold and learn. Only eight inches long, the HAK303 allows movement up and down, as well as left, right, forward and backward. In addition, the adjustable speed control allows parents to keep the speed to a minimum while their children learn the finest takeoff and landing points.

Conclusion

The three-channel controls allow first users to learn the basics of direction (up and down, forward or backward, as well as left and right). The included remote control adds an alignment adjustment button to quickly level the helicopter if it moves away from you during the flight.

Everyone that has been in this hobby for a while already knows the benefits of having a simulator. But for those that are new to the hobby, justifying spending $150+ on what some consider a game is quite hard to do. Well I'm here to tell you, that $150 investment will pay for itself, very quickly! The two hottest Simulators out there right now are Phoenix and RealFlight. I prefer Phoenix because you get lifetime updates compared to RealFlight where you have to purchase updates. We are not going to get into which one is better, they are both fantastic simulators. The KEY with a simulator is to NOT treat it as a game! If you treat the sim as a game, you won't learn as fast. The simulator is there so that you can learn how to do something that you don't already know how to do. Take just getting started for example. If you are just starting out, you have no idea how to hover, you have no idea about the different orientations and you have no idea how to get into and sustain forward flight. These seem very easy when you are just thinking about them, but in practice, they are quite hard when you are just starting out. Just ask me how I know! The first thing you want to do is learn how to hold a stationary, TAIL IN hover. Your goal here is to hold that helicopter in the air, without touching the ground and keep that tail pointed towards you. This is where everyone starts and we will be getting into this more and more in the coming weeks. But if you don't have a simulator to test on and learn from, when you try to bring that new very expensive helicopter up into a hover, you are not going to be ready for it to go off to the left, your not going to be ready for it to wobble around like a marble on a sheet of glass and most likely (with a collective pitch heli), you are going to crash. Now, remember that investment you made in the simulator? A crash in a 450 size helicopter can range from $5 for a bent feathering shaft up to over $100 if you have to replace all blades, tail boom, belt/torque tube shaft, main gears, tail gears, main and feathering shafts, canopy, skids and so on. Your FIRST saved crash from practicing on a simulator will just about pay for itself with only a 450 size helicopter. If you are flying a 500 or bigger, then you just saved enough money to completely pay for the sim! There is a saying, "Practice Makes Perfect" and that is true. But a few years ago when I started getting into guitars I talked to an instructor who shed a little more light on that. Practice does NOT make perfect because you are likely practicing improper technique, but perfect practice DOES make perfect! I know what you are saying, "how can I practice perfect if I don't know what I'm really doing in the first place?". And that is a very good question. The answer to that is being constructed right now between Rc-Help and Geena Tucker, a valued member of the forum and a sponsored helicopter pilot. We will be starting up Online Simulator Sessions via the Phoenix Flight Simulator! In these sessions, Geena and I (mostly Geena lol) will be there to help instruct anyone that would like a little help with something. This is very exciting for me and should be very exciting for all of you reading this. These sessions will start in a week or two and we will have a dedicated thread, that anyone can subscribe to so you get an email when we post a new session. So if you want to save yourself some money, keep from crashing and have a blast with everyone online and learn something new, go pick up the Phoenix Flight Simulator and join us online.
