Flight Highschool Chapter 59

And with this we are officially caught up on Flight Highschool!



Anyan hasn’t been updating much but whenever chapter 60 does come out I should be able to release it in a timely manner! Hopefully!

Anyan’s comments:

It’s been a while since my last Flight High School post//

This episode is about the aircraft that saw combat during the Falklands war, MiG-23, 27 and the reconnaissance MiG-25.

The MiG-23, 27 sisters make a first appearance starting with today’s episode 59.

MiG-27’s armament is a trimmed down automatic cannon that was used in a CIWS; it is therefore powerful but the recoil tended to damage the aircraft quite a bit.

Landing lights, landing gears, avionics equipment, and even the cockpit instrumentations… and bursts exceeding 30 rounds could also cause cookoff.

MiG-23’s sleepwalking story is about the 1989 Belgium MiG-23 crash.

The Soviet pilot thought that the engine had shut down and bailed out of the aircraft; however, the engine was very much alive and the now unmanned aircraft flew over Poland, East Germany, and flew westward.

The surprised USAF stationed in West Germany scrambled F-15s to intercept the aircraft, but found, to their surprise, an empty MiG with its pilot’s seat ejected… and it finally ends up crashing in Belgium.

The last 4 panels are about the MiG-25 who got obsessed with taking photos. When U-2 is caught taking creepshots, she seems to have a long standing habit of repeating her cover story that she was merely interested in the weather.
