Sorry if somebody posted it before but I made a search here with the WNr. and no threads found mentioning it.

Hi Jochen et al,

I published stills from this movie in AIRFOIL #1 in 1983. At that time, I made an error in failing to notice that 161037 is a two-seat G-12. Note how much farther aft the cockpit extends vs. that of 37+ yellow later in the movie.

Hi Jochen,
I guess you'll enjoy this. Regrettably the swaz was cut out without including the WNr.
Was found in a house by a contractor who was to demolish it. No idea where ended up these items. I came across the picture browsing internet, sorry I do not remember where.

Rgrds.

I REALLY wanted to bring home the Su-17/22 at the Samara West Airfield in Iraq late 2003
