Flying ace

No objection to the Rickenbacker picture in itself - just that if every illustration in a long article had to be "the most notable" we'd replace every picture in the WWI section of the article with one of Richthofen - and make sure that each picture was one of his most famous portrait at that! A bit of variety, and the odd unexpected (and for that very reason more interesting) picture never hurts. Still, it's also nice to "cycle" illustrations a bit - so I won't argue or edit war over it. Hang in there. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 22:25, 9 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Yes you're right they do change due to accidents and running into maintaince issues which happened to only one of the Aircrafts which was an F18D and thats why they have 39 in service rather than 40, no other plane had any accidents or issues that we know about or got reported. and dont rely only on one source sometimes it can be mistakes :)
i'll gather further information and sources - for now have a wonderful day mate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IHardned (talk • contribs) 06:30, 2 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Cristi1457 (talk) 06:29, 3 May 2017 (UTC)FOX 52 As a Romanian, following the press releases of the National Defense Ministry of Romania and the ROAF official website, I can provide the correct information. Today, the Romanian Air Force page is incomplete, thanks to your hard work to destroy the work of others.Reply
I second this. Just because certain items failed to appear on "World Air Forces 2017" doesn't mean that they don't exist. I would understand if the sources would be completely outdated but that's not the case. The source which I have added regarding the F-16's (regarding the delivery of the last 3 of the 9 total aircraft currently in use more precisely) was dated "December 19, 2016" (http://www.defenseworld.net/news/18000/Romania_Receives_Three_More_Portugese_F_16_Jets#.WQqG9aKYKAR). Some of the other sources (not necessarily added by me) was the air force's own website which makes me ask how is "World Air Forces 2017" more reliable than the organization actually using those items. Regarding your previous edits to the user above your edits stated "restore sourced content" but he did add the sources. I don't see how , as previous references were dated 2015-2016 (one of which was December 2016) , the lack of new sources (even on a list presumably holding a list of items) justifies the deletion of recently sourced items as long as there's no news of them ever disappearing ,being phased out or similar. Hi can you please help me with links Afgan Air Force page. For Mi 17 link is: International Institute for Strategic Studies.

I'm sorry FOX but that edit gives an erroneous impression as to IAF strengths and uses by type. Only flight international appears to be under the delusion that the F15 B/D and the F16D are not in combat roles. The F15 B/D are used as supplimentary F15I's in the strike role, effectively giving the IAF 2 F-15I squadrons. Also note the recent aquisition of 11 F-15B/D from the U.S.A.F. Also the Israelis have just purchased 30 the new 'Lavi' advanced trainers so they are not short of ultra modern training platforms. See this excellent article http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/the-amazing-saga-of-how-israel-turned-its-f-15s-into-mu-1701606283 for added info on this. Simon.

Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star
edit
Fox, I'm trying hard not to make an issue of every infobox image change you've been making. However, using a T-33 image in the infobox of the F-80 article isn't a good idea. If the rightly-blocked User:Hoggardhigh hadn't intervened, I'd have reverted it myself if I had realized it was a T-33. I don't think the previous image is so bad that we have to have an image of another, albeit very closely related type. Once the Hog is prevented from editing the article, I'll probably change it back, unless I can find a better image. Most of the good in-flight images are black-and-white, and I'd prefer a color one, if available. Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 17:20, 10 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Fox, could you make a close-up of File:Tejas LCA 2015.jpg for the Astra (missile)'s infobox? Please include enough of the aircraft to identify it. Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 14:52, 14 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Could you do some more corrections please? If you look at the original File:Tablet of Shamash relief.jpg here, you can noticed some more details within the star.

Hi FOX 52. A few weeks ago you touched up the infobox image at Sukhoi Su-35. Do you think you could do the same thing to File:Sukhoi Su-35 MAKS'2011 Avdeev.jpg?

Hi FOX52! A little more than a month ago, you've created EU28-further enlargement map (Russia modified).svg per my request at the Graphic Lab.

Greetings, FOX 52, I hope you are doing well. I just wanted to give you an update regarding our earlier conversation about the F-104 Starfighter—I've not had any luck obtaining any images from Lockheed, but I am still trying. In the meantime I did locate a number of images already out on Wikimedia Commons, and I was wondering if you had any thoughts on them. I've put a gallery out on Talk:Lockheed F-104 Starfighter; I didn't know if you were watching that page so I thought I would ping you here. I would very much like to hear what you think. :) None of them are perfect but they have potential. I tried out the first image in my sandbox and it's not bad; do you think you could play around with it (or one of the others if you think it is better) and do your magic?

Hey, could you take a look at Mikoyan MiG-41.

Fox52, the roundel appears to be on the PAK FA. I realize that it’s not IOC yet, but is in service as a test aircraft. You think that would suffice for adding the roundel to Russian Air Force pages?

Actual livery of CAF
edit
The photo (I took it myself and uploaded it) shows the actual, grey livery of the CAF. The old olive/green one is no longer in use since 2015 - There are simply no more planes in use with this livery.

Thank you for your reply, FOX 52. There was obviously a misunderstanding - These colors (olive / green) are no longer the colors of the CAF (since 2015). All MiG-21 BisD are "grey" now. But OK, so be it. And just this information regarding the photo: I took it with my mobile phone during the AirVG 2018 in Velika Gorica (05/19/2018). Then I transfered it to my PC and uploaded it to https://commons.wikimedia.org following all steps I was asked to while uploading. There was no step or question about Metadata...

Hi Fox, I apologize for not coming to you directly about the MQ-8C photo. I tend to avoid potential confrontation, and I also like to have my information straight before asking questions directly. In doing so, I ended up going behind your back, and the discussion spiraled far beyond my original question there. I honestly don't know of a case where you've ever intentionally uploaded a copyright photo, and really didn't think that was the case here. In the future, if I have an issue with you, I'll try to ask directly. - BilCat (talk) 06:24, 3 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
