I’m a big fan of the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! that was in competition for the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! competition with the F-15E Strike Eagle.

Give me that F-15 ACTIVE

BmanUltima's car still hasn't been fixed yet, he'll get on it tomorrow, honest. > DanimalHouse 09/14/2016 at 10:34

That’s a lot of concrete.

Looks like my MR2 was parked behind the F16 and F15 at some point.

I like that the F-16XL’s wings aren’t symmetrical.

It always amazes me how small the Blackbird was. Rather, modern jet fighters are fairly large compared to many of their predecessors.

The double-delta wing configuration looks so much like a Draken’s. Whose design, if I remember correctly, started around 1948.

(No disrespect intended for the F-16XL, by the way)

Wow, is that a KING AIR?! Ever since I was a little kid, I one day hoped to work at a corporation whose aircraft operating costs could be reduced by 70% while still achieving 80% of the same performance as a business jet with better short-field capability. Sadly, these childhood dreams usually end up on the back burner. /s

Those two white fighters on the left, below the B-52. What are they?

y would they not make then symmetrical?

The black one is symmetrical. Some freaky testing going on with the white one though.

A couple more:

Same aircraft, back when it only had 2D thrust vectoring:

F-16 and F/A-18:

Yeah, i think that’s partly test bed, partly shadows.

They were symmetrical at first. But then NASA got hold of one

I’m probably the only one who’s favorite is the T-34. I love little prop planes. Plus T-34 pilots get to do all the cool shit too.
