    @Subnerdica I'm not offended, really, I'm not. Just debating on Yeager's personality, is all. We're cool.

    @Subnerdica yeah, that’s about right. And why not have a big ego? He’s Chuck Yeager, WWII ace, first man to break the sound barrier, survived the NF-104, Test Pilot School commander and living legend. Bet you’d have a big ego too if you had done those things. While it might make him arrogant, like him or not, it doesn’t mean he’s “not a great person” and it doesn’t mean that he wasn’t helpful in integrating the AIM-9 into the PAF’s J-6s.

    I’ve been told he shows off a lot and has a big ego. @ChiChiWerx

    @Subnerdica well, that’s an opinion...as with most pilots and fighter pilots in particular, I know he’s fairly opinionated and direct, which can come off as abrasive (he’s still alive, BTW), so if you’re not ready for it, I can see how someone would call that “not a great person.” If it’s anything besides that, you’ll have to be more specific as to what you’ve been told on how he’s not a great person.

    @410461765 no worries, it’s a beautiful build anyway and one of my favorite Soviet types. I’ve often thought of building one myself but have been dissuaded by that nightmarishly complex exhaust area...but you executed that beautifully, I must say.

    I apologize. I used some unreliable information.

    Nice build of the Farmer. First supersonic fighter? There’s actually quite a bit of controversy there...the F-100 entered squadron service on 27 Sep 1954, while the MiG-19 entered service June of 1955. Nonetheless, they both had many teething issues early on due to a steep learning curve with supersonic flight. And they both went on to become significant and important types on their respective sides of the Iron Curtain. The MiG-19, as with most Soviet types, rugged, as well as fast, well armed and had great turn performance. The MiG-19 was the backbone of the PLAAF as the J-6 and Chuck Yeager, of all people, helped the Pakistan AF integrate the AIM-9 into its J-6s(!). Anyway, nice build.
