The XB-70 Valkyrie would like to have a word with your A-10 Warthog, should it be able to catch up.

What? You better be supersonic if you hope to keep up.

What? I can't you. I'm literally faster than the noise you're making.

Grandpa can go back to his rocking chair and iced tea. The B1's faster, cheaper to fly, carries more bombs, and drops them with more precision.

Still trying to figure out how to get that gun mounted on the Beetle.

You say something I cant hear you over this enormous cannon.

/disagree.

Thrust vectoring is the closest thing to power oversteer you can get in a jet.

You don't have to be very precise with those CBU's. But I get your point.

We'll see if the Lancer is still flying when it's 50+ years old :)

compelling argument and that was amazing I had never seen that video and that crazy whats it where going straight up nearly stops and rolls right over!

sweeeet. I bet she really carves through the turns.

As long as it's the cheapest heavy bomber they'll keep flying it ;)

With all the money they're putting into the CONECT upgrade (electronics & comm) they could still be flying in 2040.

Don't make me pull this thing over children, you know how I hate going from cruising at mach 3.2 to literally anything slower. I get leaky.

Shit's embarrassing.

EDIT: Did a lil research. They expect to keep the B1 in operation at least through 2038, that's 55 years :D

just a dab...

Ok, call it a draw then

Sounds like an incontinence thing. Leaving half your load of JP-8 on the ramp will not get you invited to many hangar parties...

The GAU-8 Avenger. The gun so good, they gave it wings.

But at least pick a jet figher with pitch and yaw thrust vectoring.

If we purely talk about esthetics, the Sukhoi Su-37 wins!

The only vehicle that I like flat black on.

Lets see. Oppo approves of the following:

Classic Lines

Versatility

Wagons

Hoonage

Patina

Nice lines

Engine swaps

Exhaust flames

The ability to do our own wrenching

The only real plane that ticks all those boxes, and that a person has a hope of owning is the DC-3.

That is true, and I always have liked Russian jets more than American ones, but I figured using one more familiar would be a better way to get my point across.

Always preferred my 4 1/2 myself, custom Jatoba tote with Purpleheart insert on the adjuster, but to each his own.

Gonna have to say that, naturally, it would have to be a Bugatti.
