Few planes give me chills down my spine. The pure gorgeousness of a Constellation is one of the very few. Maybe its pinning for the past but... Wow.

There is something unifying about the objects being similarly coloured.

Lot’s of tension in the image between old and new, with the colors providing the unifying bridge.

terrific image, juxtaposed against the aged cars on the street.

Yeah, and that White House. Man, it could sure use some stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops.

I know that Air Force One is super high tech on the inside and everything, but maybe it could use some new livery?

The civilian vomit comet

Highly unlikely headed to WSMR unless they are planning on doing drop testing or its a rocket.

Well, it’s definitely a UO, as you say.

Thinking sr-71 as a such advanced airplane and seeing the cars from the same period look soo weird.

I gotcha. Just wanted to post that picture :)

“A10 > any gunship.”

Than an Mi-28? That can only travel at 201mph top speed? That is extremely susceptible to small arms fire? That has a max payload of a few thousand pounds? With a rather pathetic maximum range and loiter time?

Don’t care about the aircraft but I don’t want to see any more pilots killed in cold blood. They’re just like our pilots. Young, dumb and full of cum. They’re proud, patriotic, and undoubtedly are little more than pawns for Putin. Id assume most of the Russian military believes what the Kremlin tells them.

We’ll see but I doubt they’ll be used for CAS. Odds are they just use them for security near their installations. Maybe a little CAS if it’s close and in an area that isn’t too hot.

Kamov has always maintained that having the crew side by side is more efficient and makes all their tasks easier. I’m inclined to agree.

Tyler, Mi-28 has been in Syria since mid-October:

Mi-28s. Ka-52s.

Besides being the most effective way to fight wildfires at large scale, yeah, I don’t really see any evidence of its effectiveness.

I’m not sure how things work down under, but us Yanks don’t believe in letting things burn.
