Robin Olds He named his aircraft "Scat" after his room mate in the academy whose eyesight prevented him from continuing through flight school.... there were 27 different Scat's the The first fighter was the P-38J Lightning and his last was the F-4C Phantom II which is now on display in the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force — in between these aircraft he flew the P-51 Mustang, P/F-80 Shooting Star, F-86 Sabre, Gloster Meteor (as an exchange officer with the RAF) and the R/F-101 Voodoo..... Olds flew 3 different Lightnings... Scat I-III (according to Olds autobiography) He became an ace in these aircraft.... Scat I - III would look like this... Scat IV - There is some question as to what type of aircraft it was, Olds stated that it was a P-51, But according to AF records Olds shot down an aircraft in a P-38 AFTER Scat III was lost and before he was assigned another aircraft.... Authoritative sources claim both aircraft as Scat IV and there is little absolute proving which was which... (Personally I would go with Robin on this one, if he says Scat IV was a P-51, then as far as I'm concerned it's enough proof for me) Scat IV - VII - P-51D He scored 7 victories in the P-51 becoming one of the few pilots to become an ace in both types) Scat's V-VII all carried the same unit and aircraft markings the only differences being the name and the victory markings.... He didn't serve in combat again until the Vietnam war.... Where he flew an F-4C Phantom known as Scat XXVII.... (he obtained 4 "official" victories in the F-4 Phantom) Colonel Olds gun camera films from Vietnam show that he easily could have had at least five more victories if he wanted them, but he had been informed that if he reached triple ace status he would have been removed from command and brought home as a propaganda asset to valuable to lose..... So he let the wingmen shoot them down.... Olds flew two different Phantoms in Vietnam.... 63-7680 and 64-0829... Scoring two victories in each.... The last aircraft he flew 64-0829 now resides in the National Museum of the US Airforce.... He is an Airforce Legend.....

Yes he was, thanks... I have several other pics of aircraft in the markings of the unit when he commanded them, and one where he placed second in the 1949 Bendix air races flying a P-80.... He commanded a British squadron of Gloster Meteors in England, an F-86A squadron in California, an F-86D Wing in Germany, and a TF-101C Voodoo Wing in England Trained to deliver nuclear weapons. He also commanded the Airforce Academy and was director of Tactical fighter training at the pentagon... All this other stuff was at the time that the bomber crowd was in control of the Air Force... The reason he was given command of the 8th fighter wing in Vietnam was to get him away from the bomber generals in the pentagon who weren't too happy with his advocacy of ACM training for all fighter units.... What he did in Vietnam proved him right and the bomber generals wrong........ He was a great fighter pilot and an even greater leader.... popeye the sailor, lmagna, Edwardkenway and 4 others 7 Quote Current Build: F-86F-30 Sabre by Egilman - Kinetic - 1/32nd scale In the Garage: East Bound & Down, Building a Smokey & the Bandit Kenworth Rig in 1/25th scale Completed: M8A1 HST 1930 Packard Boattail Speedster M1A1 75mm Pack Howitzer F-4J Phantom II Bell H-13's P-51B/C Temporary Suspension: USS Gwin DD-433 F-104C Starfighter "Blue Jay Four" 1/32nd Scale Terminated Build: F-104C Starfighter ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote: "Relish Today, Ketchup Tomorrow" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javlin Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share #34 Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) Thks EG and now a tidbit for Craig.The pilot of White 15 was a LT Semyon Ivanovich Rogovol who accrue 5 victories in this plane all against the formidable FW-190.He was assigned to the 64Guards Fighter Regiment(GIAP),4 Guards Fighter Division (GIAD),2nd Baltic Front,Autumn 1944.The plane was presented to LT Rogovol by sailors of Amur River Flotilla in the Far East. I did a search of his career but the only little nugget I found was all the kills were FW-190's a well developed a/c in 1944/45.

Canute Posted July 9, 2021 Share #36 Posted July 9, 2021 Javilin and EG, nice info. Olds was a super hero to those of us flying in Viet Nam.He was a co-founder of the Red River Valley Fighter Pilots association along with Scrappy Johnson. The River Rats organization was started as a tactics schoolhouse, since we were limited in the air combat training we were allowed to practice till then. The Navy woke up earlier and fired up Top Gun. We had Fighter Weapons School, but it was very sedate stuff. The bomber generals held all the high cards. By the mid 70s we had broadened our air combat training to add dissimilar adversaries. The fighter mob took over. See the results in Desert Storm.

He might have flown a TF-51 post war, But his assigned duty was in P-80's where he helped setup the first USAF air demonstration team...... He then was assigned to England flying Gloster Meteors as a squadron commander, after that, on his return to the USAF he was assigned to fly F-86A's as a squadron commander..... he then went to Germany and Flew F-86D's as a wing commander, after a period of desk duty, he was again sent to England where he flew TF-101 Voodoo's as a wing commander.... A several year period at pentagon duty followed when he was finally assigned to the 8th Tactical Fighter wing flying F-4C's Some of the aircraft he flew didn't carry the Scat markings as visable as on his combat aircraft.... I posted a pic of Scat VII flying next to a B-17 during the war, (photographed from the B-17) in fact all three P-51D pics show all his WWII wartime aircraft have the same markings, L2-star-W Aircraft unit markings for fighter aircraft followed the pilot in the USAAC, even when they changed assigned planes, even when they changed types.... A little more detail about the Scat VII TF-51, Scat VII as flown by Robin during the war was a standard P-51D, in 1991, it was converted into a two seat TF-51D and used for demonstration flights... It crashed in Feb 2003 killing the owner/pilot who was alone in the plane..... It was rebuilt 2006-7 and currently flies in Belgium doing demonstration flights....

ccoyle Posted September 26, 2021 Share #59 Posted September 26, 2021 The only one I regularly check out is papermodelers.com. A number of MSW members are also members there. There are also quite a few over in Europe, as you may well imagine; some of them welcome posts in English, even if that isn't the official language of the forum. I don't visit these except for when I'm looking for information on a specific kit, 'cause hey, there are only so many hours in a day!
