Re: Soldano/Hiwatt hybrid ...
$10k for a weird hybrid amp? I think if he was around $4k he'd have sold it by now.

Re: Soldano/Hiwatt hybrid ...
They actually drew the wrong conclusion. It was all about "corporate culture".Originally posted by JMP/HBE View Post
the Mig back to CIA "Area 51" and reversed Engineered it. What they found was it wasnt the Mig that was better but that US Pilots lacked Dogfighting experience. Same thing in Vietnam but the fact that the F-4 had no internal gun [until later] & that more than 50% of Air to Air Missles either didnt come off the rail or failed to track caused alot of problems.
The Air Force came up with "William Tell" & the NAVY/USMC has Top Gun. What they found is if Pilots could get 10 missions under their belt they had a huge success rate. That is the purpose of those Programs.
I was an AO onboard USS CONSTELLATION CV-64 in 81-82, during Vietnam VF-96 the Fighting Falcons "Showtime 100" F-4J Piloted by LT, Duke Cunnigham & Rio LTjg Willy Driscol became the first ACES of Vietnam.
Now back to our regularly scheduled program ...
USAF and Navy ran their guys like a varsity football team, all pride and testosterone... Soviets ran theirs like an Olympics team, all discipline, rigour, and ice. Strict as hell, too. They ran their guys A LOT harder to compensate for disadvantaged hardware.
You can spot an old Soviet pilot from across a large room in any country, even 30-40 years retired. They all give off this unmistakeable relaxed-formidable vibe that's laid back enough to be admirable rather than terrifying. It's like "mellow Terminator mode", always-on, 24-7.Last edited by Adieu; 08-26-2018, 06:49 AM."New stuff always sucks" -MeComment
