Goddamn videogames got really good looking while I was busy growing up no it's just intentionally low-res and compressed so it would appear less like a video game , if you look at the video on youtube you can clearly see a player's name tag above the plane when it finishes the loop.

Protip: You can tell it's a video game because the F-35 is flying in the air and not currently on fire.

Every young boys room was plastered with images of Top Gun dream Tomcats. The early model tomcats were extremely poo poo, and it remained a goddamn maintenance queen throughout its service. For like 5 years or so after they were pulled from service you could look at the tarmac at NAS Oceana and see exactly where they parked the F-14's because there was F-14 shaped oil stains loving everywhere. However the plane is absolutely loving gorgeous and fast as poo poo and I love it for all the wrong reasons  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqyI04WDZlQ

Is the Osprey still a deathtrap or just was one for decades? (Ignoring that it's taking you to places with Marines)

I like the A-10 and am sad it's going away "A single plane is never going to be able to carry enough missiles to destroy an appropriate amount of commie tanks, what do we do?" the answer is a machine gun so big that it fires bullets that can disable tanks, brilliant, love it, big guns all the way USA

Our Red Army now needs IL-2 aircraft like the air it breathes, like the bread it eats. Shenkman produces one IL-2 a day and Tretyakov builds one or two MiG-3s daily. It is a mockery of our country and the Red Army. I ask you not to try the government's patience, and demand that you manufacture more ILs. This is my final warning. — Stalin
