Проверьте строку define (’WPLANG’, ‘ru_RU’); в файле wp-config.php и файл в папке /wp-content/languages/ru_RU.mo на хостинге. В обоих должно быть одинаково: или ru_RU или ru_ru .

Yeah, that is Ralph "Sheik" Aarts, former dutch demo pilot!

Is that Sheik, second to the right?

I was the crew chief on 87-0248 during Desert Storm. Glad she is still flying. Please take good care of that jet!!!

All I can say is, wow! Thanks for what you guys are still doing over there, cant believe what the both of you went thru. Cant help but laugh about the riding brakes though. Glad to see the Big 22 covers still being used(Bend over and feel the Sting!).

This guy holds the flight records but you should see him in the desert mountains. He's like a long horned sheep always up first typically breathing normal when I reach the top, exhuasted, out of breath, wishing I were somewhere by a swimming pool.lol You Rock Brillo

Calypso's Dark Secret sticker on the side of the jet is from national talk like a pirate day. We decided to name all the jets we had over there after pirate ships and what not. Just alil desert boredom.

I was the Crew Chief of 81-0723 at Hahn Air Base, in the former West Germany, from 1984 until we upgraded to block 20 aircraft and many of the Hahn birds went to the Guard to fulfill the ADF mission in the US in 1985. Prior to departing W. Germany, this aircraft was used in Green Flag at Nellis and also participated on alert at hahn to fulfill our commitment to NATO. This aircraft also participated in breaking a USAFE surge record when the 496TFS of the 50th TFW flew 144 sorties with 18 aircraft and 35 pilots in about 12 hours in Oct 1985. Prior to this aircraft going to South Dakota, I did find a picture of this aircraft in flight with the Montana Air National Guard. Small world but it was a great pleasure to maintain and has a great history.

THE 74th FS didn't fly F-16A. We flew F-16 C/D models Block 40's.

The 74th FS flew Blck 40 F-16C's at Pope from 1993 to 1996 before they were all moved to Cannon

Keep in mind that although the pilot is from the 55th FS, I beleive this aircraft is still owned by the 77th FS. The 77th FS is still the F-16 east coast demo team and they use this aircraft.

Yeah, that's a stopwatch. They use it to time some maneuvers, like the bomb-burst crossover.

Just wondering - is that a stopwatch near the HUD??

Must be an older picture. She still has her captain's bars and her helmet doesn't say "FiFi"

i was asigned to this jet as assistant crew chief at Homestead.I remember the day she first arrived and that "new car smell".She was assigned first to the 308th and then to the 307th.I do remember one stretch when she flew something like 20 straight code one missions.

Shaw has a really nice jet on a pedestal (79 model) repainted as this tail #. I'm pretty sure it has his name on the rail. Nice tribute - the wing and inlet lites come on at night.

I have a picture of my late brother, Major Brison "Moose" Phillips with that bird- nice to know who the "brush" belongs to. Thanks Warren
