Oh, and I just remembered I'm pretty sure there was an evil Swedish Scientist who was actually one of them

Please tell me the Saab Skeldar was named after the bad aliens in the N64 game, Perfect Dark. Because as I recall in one level they went invisible, and I'm seeing stealthy shaping on that helicopter.

I live in Melbourne within walking distance of both a tram-stop and a train station. One day on my way to work, I decided to take the tram. I get on, and within a few stops I can smell that someone has shat their pants. No way was I copping that for another 30 mins. Third stop happened to be close to the station, so I

And I'm getting a 6spd man 2008 RC pretty cheap when dad moves back to England - I like the first model but the ones here in aus are all ratty. I weigh 110kg myself so I can drop those 30kg over time myself ;)

The Miata RC (MX-5 here) is only 30kg heavier than the soft-top. Dad got his in RC spec because he has no garage and had had a previous car broken into at his work carpark (in the Melbourne CBD)

I saw one yesterday (non-AMG) in resale grey with the roof down. It's such a munter, melted proportions. It looks better with the roof up, but they need to sort those saggy rear lights. That said aside from the stripe I don't mind the one afterace posted

Seen Chevaliers Du Ciel? (Sky Fighters?) Flyoff comp between Mirage and F16 and then BOOM - Random Aussie badguy

I have both Red Dawns on DVD. Both are pretty terrible, but I think the nods the remake made (eg deer blood) were well done

Hot Shots! The best pilot the US has goes to town in a Folland Gnat!

Stuff Top Gun, can they make the Anime Series Area 88 into a movie already? Tomcats, Freedom Fighters, Crusaders, Phantoms, 17s, 21s, A4s, Buccaneers, F1s... ooh

Is this a replay from Ace Combat or something like that?

Make it a more reasonable 500hp, and reliable, and I'm interested. Looks like a great size for a Huracan competitor

The warheads on little missiles such as the AIM-9 are pretty small and not always effective in bringing down a fighter, plus the seeker heads can get distracted by flares or the effect negated by chaff, so it makes sense for the missile to position itself slightly ahead of the airframe. This would be especially true

The plane you have pictured is a Sukhoi SU-27. There IS a MIG-27 (It is a ground attack variant of the Mig-23 flogger, differentiated by a longer, downward angled nose with a laser designator in the front)

Range. Especially if you were using it for offensive operations. Imagine how vulnerable a tank would be out of battery power no where near somewhere to charge (which a smart enemy would have disabled such a network if invaded anyway). No point in having a completely 'invisible' tank if you can't actually use it for

SU-30 is the prettiest variant. If the Malaysians, Indonesians or Indians ever bring some down to the Avalon Airshow one year I can't tell what will happen in my pants, but it won't be PG

I remember seeing a documentary (Wings of Russia, Mig-29) and the narrator going "When NATO gave the SU-25 the reporting name 'Frogfoot', Russian military aviators not pleased. When NATO gave the Mig-29 the name 'Fulcrum' however, they were quietly happy (or something along those lines. Hot tip, the Wings Of Russia

That DC-3 shot is amazing. I love seeing planes in profile. Great work

Hate to be a killjoy here but they would surely have to had signed waivers beforehand (unless the world has gone crazy and you need to do the same before stepping into a simulator). Seat are doing everything they can to kill the coolness of this vehicle - this followed them sheepishly announcing (on pistonheads.com)
