Curious to see how well the Chinook does high up in the Himalayas considering India just bought a few.

might as well nickname it the ‘bayonet’

Pretty sure I saw 3 jets land on the video. By the time the last one lands there were two parked at the side. Or was 1 already aboard the Eisenhower?

This angle really makes you realise how narrow the super structure really is. At least it definitely appears that way.

I think the landing in adverse conditions definitely makes for a cooler image.

Since you brought it up it’s “spelling *bee”

Hmm, I would have thought the Greece election would’ve warranted a fair amount of coverage at the least considering the implications it might have held for Europe (granted it wasn’t as high stakes as the last time when Syriza first came to power but still)

er, well, somethings better than nothing I guess. Thanks though. I’ve been so curious ever since I read of the presence of this mystical loo on a combat jet. From what I’ve been able to tell skimming through the threads is that there’s significant debate over the authenticity of such claims though

Oh, that’s interesting. Surprised not to have seen any coverage on the news as such, at least not BBC

What I’m interested to see is how Saudi Arabia reacts. We’ve already seen under the new king and especially his confident young son, the Deputy Crown Prince, Saudi is willing to take action as seen in Yemen. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear of a muscular press release from the Saudis considering how the new Prince has…

actually wasn’t there a re-election recently? I swear it was last week or the coming weekend. For Greece I mean

Okay so I read about this but for some reason I can’t get my head around it. Sure I get the side by side seating arrangement but surely the cabin isn’t That big. Does anyone have pictures of this loo?

great post!

I think it’s a different kind of jet. Nowadays when I squint at the Black Widow profile, and considering how huge it seems, I see bits of it in China’s big new J20. I mean it wouldn’t be surprising would it. I swear someone on FA was musing about how the YF23 might have been pretty useful over the long distances of…

Well yeah I doubt there’s anything out there that can match the F-22 1v1, it’s more about the Russians building Some picture of it other than what they can glean from reports and pictures on the news so to speak.

I wonder if to some extent the Russians are looking forward to encountering F-22s in the field. Granted they probably wouldn’t detect their presence, but say for a brief moment or combination of circumstances the Russians were to ‘see’ them surely it would be worth a lot given that they’ve never encountered it…

Man I’m really growing to love the Raptors profile. It sure is an attractive looking jet all smooth curves and surfaces.

That’s exactly the one I had in mind. I initially thought it was a re-skinned JDM Alto. And yes, it doesn’t have much of the crossover appeal that is taking the market by storm what with mini-SUVs like the EcoSport. So I still think Suzuki might have something more specific to the Indian market in store. To be honest…

Well I’m in two minds about this one. I mean sure, it’s got the front end and it’s trying with the wheel arches but until I see something next to it for scale my brain keeps thinking it’s a kei car.

Granted, a lot is truly balls out insane, i mean interior wise on the concepts. My gripe is with the exteriors usually. There can be some quite stunning concepts but Suzuki water it down to baby food bland for production. I say this seeing as Suzuki’s are everywhere in India. I mean heck, the Indian press initially…
