I like the Fullback, but it does have kind of a duckbilled look to it.

More F-22s ain’t happening, so the next best thing is for the USAF to buy some freaking Silent Eagles or Advanced Eagles already.

I think it’s just the lighting

Yeah, American jets are so unique looking compared to all the identical Eurocanards

You ==========================> :-)

It didn’t happen in a vacuum. He emptied his jails so he could claim that everyone opposing him was a “terrorist” as a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy. But he never would have done so had there not been secular protests and uprisings to force his hand in the first place. The problem of Nusra, Daesh, etc. was one that…

You’ve gotta be nuts.

That up-close shot of the nose kinda makes it look like an elephant.

It IS damned good, isn’t it? Functional in an oddly sexy way.

There’s no way drinking Euphrates river water is healthier than even Flint’s disgusting water.

That is LITERALLY what Assad has wanted since he released all the Islamists from his jails in 2011.

If you’re claiming any Russian plane besides the Tu-160 is “Russia’s B-1", you’re doing it wrong.

You’re not gonna find a lot of shots of D-21s on the back of Blackbirds... Kelly Johnson said “NO MORE!” after the crash.

Love the shots of those D-21s on the back of the MD-21 and under the wings of that Buff.

But, it drives me nuts — with a better engine (and the other improvements made for the Advanced Super Hornet), the Rhino could sell like hotcakes abroad, which is good for American jobs and American manufacturing. But, this administration has doubled down on the “F-35 only” strategy, and almost seems to be actively…

The reasons for not funding the EPE were basically 1. sequestration, and 2. the F-35. WE MUSTN’T JEOPARDIZE THE F-35!!! WHY WOULD YOU SPEND MONEY ON ANY OTHER AIRCRAFT WHEN YOU CAN SPEND IT ON THE F-35???

That F-14 shot is fun... when I was a kid, I wrote a short story about myself flying F-14s off the USS America!

...and it seems incredibly obvious that the Air Force would be unhappy if you flew drones over Groom Lake. Still, the signs are there.

See, I expect that from Navy pilots, but I don’t expect it from USAF guys.

Looks like it. Pretty sure it’s the exact photo op that destroyed the XB-70.
