giemme Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Oh great, more photographic evidence that a Hog can actually have open airbrakes when parked Serves very well for my current build (not that I could change things at this point, anyway . ) Thanks for posting them, Keith!

The two jets above are taxiing into their parking spots. In this case, whether or not they closed them once they were chocked and shutting down? Couldn't tell you (my memory is not that good!).

Oops, didn't notice the pilot in (watching this on a small smartphone screen). There was a discussion at the beginning of my build because it's very hard to find pics of parked Hogs with open airbrakes; I did actually find a couple, and @Gene K also provided a link to a video showing one like that, but the vast majority of available photos shows them closed. Alas, I did decide to pose them open, that's why I was happy to (apparently) see further confirmation. Ciao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 The Hawgs will be missed when they are gone....what a magnificent airplane beloved by its pilots, from everything I have read. Great photos, as usual! Mike 👌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
