Another Daily Fail Crash Report. Mig 31

Post by Stagger2 »

Saw this little gem intimating that 2-seat Mig31 jets are twin-stick trainers? Whilst there have been a few derivatives historically, it's just possible the back-seater was a WSO. or a trainee ballet-dancer? Just because "they were on a training flight" doesn't mean one of them was a 'trainee' :facepalm:

Think you’re nitpicking a bit there. :grin:

Yes, what a minor, minor thing to get angry about.

Who's angry? Just more inaccurate rubbish reporting. Rather see bare facts without the appended fabrication. :hide:

What, like loop-the-loops and stunts? The Daily Fail caters for it's audience, which, when it comes to aviation, is a 7 year old.

Just another online pop-up that caught my eye! Do Newspapers still exist? :cuppa:

Only for my cod and chips :wink:

I have to admit that the only news I bother with is what I see on-line. Not read a newspaper since leaving my parents house about 30 years ago, and just go with whatever news channel is on tv or webpage I'm looking at. I do have some interest in current affairs, but I'm not that bothered from what outlet, although will always steer clear of the red-banners wherever they may be.

Several news agencies are reporting exactly the same 'instructor and trainee' text, including the Putin-backed 'Russia Today'. I'm pretty sure they'll have reported exactly what the Russian Military press release said.

'Appended fabrication' from the Daily Mail? Well no, not this time.... :whistle:
And as the smart ship grew,
In stature, grace and hue,
In shadowy silent distance grew the iceberg too....

My wife sometimes picks up a free Daily Mail when she shops at Waitrose in Lymington. I certainly wouldn't pay for one!
