tomdocherty72 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Thank you for accepting me into the forum. I write for aviation magazines in the UK and I am currently working on research on the F-104 for an article about his great aircraft. I have a request for the Italian group members: A request for assistance. I am currently working on an article about the F-104 in AMI service. I hope to obtain information from pilots of the AMI who flew the 'Spillone' for the article. I wish to know about what it was like to fly, its capabilities as a fighter/weapon system. I would also like to contact a pilot who flew the last most upgraded AMI variant. If you feel you might be able to contribute something please send me a message or email me for further contacts I am on a fairly tight deadline and would appreciate your information by 8 September. I look forward to hearing from you. La ringrazio per aver accettato nel forum. SCRIVO per l'aviazione riviste del REGNO UNITO e attualmente sto lavorando su una ricerca sulla F-104 Starfighter per un articolo sul suo grande aeromobile. Ho una domanda per il gruppo italiano membri: UNA richiesta di assistenza. Attualmente sto lavorando su un articolo a proposito dell'F-104 Starfighter in servizio AMI. Spero di ottenere informazioni dai piloti dell'AMI che hanno volato "Spillone" per l'articolo. Vorrei sapere che cosa era come di volare, le sue capacità di combattente/sistema di armi. Vorrei anche contattare un pilota che ha volato l'ultimo più aggiornato AMI variante. Se pensate che potrebbe essere in grado di contribuire in qualche modo mi può inviare un messaggio o mandami una e-mail per ulteriori contatti sono su un termine abbastanza stretto e gradirebbe informazioni da 8 Settembre. Sono ansioso di sentire da voi. Tom Docherty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
