Almost wish this Vladventure was on Netflix so I could binge watch. Waiting for the next episode is painful.

Saw this on AvWeb this morning: https://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/new...-229242-1.html. More detail on the backstory would be interesting. Vlad tells all.

Awesome thread Vlad, again.
Having violated Russian Airspace several times (intentionally) while flying F16's in Japan in the late 80's (poking the Bear so to speak) I can relate!
Can't wait to hear the rest of the story...

PS: when the controllers call you on guard advising you to "exit the airspace", use the quote from a squadron mate of mine "send out your champion"

Same lines been going around for a while, only now it's responding to the Iranians on guard.

"If you do not change course you will be intercepted."
"Send em, I'll wait."

Kind of disapointing to merge with an F-4 or F-5....

Vlad, hurry it up!

Vlad,
I really enjoyed season 1.
Are you posting any previews for the new season?

For some reason, I think this story will end with Vlad being invited to the Kremlin to meet with Putin.

Vlad, you could be the Dennis Rodman of the RV world!
