Excuse me, when I was 8 I would draw a Sukhoi Su-15 Flagon F-15. :colbert:
That's better.

What would be an F-104 with pointier wings, a standard empennage and no tip tanks? Cause that's A Fighter Jet as far as 10-year-old me was concerned.

Great museum and great pictures. I went a couple years ago but didn't have time to see the experimental hangar, unfortunately. Did get to sit in an F-4 cockpit, though, and that was neat. Does the Valk feel as big as it looks?

I can't decide of that's the most Russian thing I've ever seen or the most Crimson Skies thing I've ever seen.
These two things are less mutually exclusive and more a Venn diagram that's just a circle.

I love planes that are just two of the same plane bolted together, and I love the Starfighter, so this might be my new favourite proposal. :allears:

Ahh, the b-25, how many forward firing guns do you need on a bomber?
You tell me:



Ah, Russia. :allears:

Down and forward is still forward, shut up.

If cell phones and other consumer electronics could gently caress up airplanes that easily, terrorists would've done it long ago and/or we wouldn't be allowed to even have them on the plane at all outside of checked luggage.

This always looks so pretty and I'm always sad when I remember that the civilian passenger variant never got past the planning phase. :( Same for the B-58 passenger version.

Sounds like the A-10 might be getting a reprieve.

This seems like as good a time as any to repost the proposed B-58 passenger variant.

I think the last time it came up I calculated the cabin height and seat width to be less than that of a CRJ.
Worth it.

A pair of F-35s just flew over my apartment a few times.

I don't know what to think any more.

Did they, at any point, engage in any hovering, short takeoff, or other non-aerodynamic flight shenanigans?
They went in a non-straight line!

I didn't see them until their final pass, apparently they were doing a flyby of the Brickyard 400.
