I like the Vulcan's shape. Triangles are cool.
This guy has a nice rounded nose. He makes me think of a friend.
Agree with you on that buddy, those little training jets are cute as hell
F-14
SR71
A-10
It must be super comfy sitting side by side with your bros in that.
Whoa man, those digits.
Yeah, they're cute. Hell, look at the Phantom! This guy's pretty nice. He's the type of plane that'd invite you over for a movie.
It's basically a flying roadtrip of war
This guys looks pretty adorable.
Look at those wings! Its called a "light attacker", ain't that cute?
Reading 'Stealth Fighter' about the 99 bosnia confilct. These guys go from thinking they're invisible to narrowly avoiding missiles pretty quick. There's one mission where the author isnt sure if his payload bay door is open or closed and in that moment says his radar signature might as well be that of a B-52, he has SA-6 missiles head right towards his aircraft several times, with other pilots witnessing the barage of near misses as they fall out of altitude range. I've always liked the F-117, but the more you read, the more you know their stealth was either hit or miss.
There's another mission where he describes the serbs using frequency jamming, and it would sound like music or static, and in one case, the louder the static became, the more missiles were being fired at him (coincidence) he didnt know exactly what was going on, but describes his experiences as being Vietnam like with the amount of tracers and SAMs shot at him.
I love the Phantom
Su-27, MiG-31, Tu-95.
blue angels remind me of everything good in my childhood
Shinshin a qyoot

The wings put me off at first, but I've come to love me some widow-ghost because nothing in the sky looks like it
forward sweep memes are my dreams
My third was a toss up between the Eagle and the Rafale, and while I love how the Rafale's nose flows the refuel probe kind of kills it for me
Eagles and Eagles with aggressor schemes though are always fun
fieseler storch
F4F Wildcat
Saab Draken
B-2
B-1B
F-117
I have a thing for bombers and attack aircraft. Honestly I could swap out the F-117 for really any tactical bomber/attack aircraft/cas aircraft; A-10, Su-25, F-15E, etc.
Hell yeah Alpha Jet!
I hada blue diecast one when I was kid.
Whenever I see a Sabre, I can't help but see a man with his arms back as he dives into water, or he flies through the air.
Dude, I love how it looks. Its just so... Whenever I see it, and the F9F, my mind immediately thinks 'Cool'.
The Gripen is my planefu
Those are some big ass bombs.
Needs more Side-Winders though.
Reminder that that friend is looking over your shoulder and writing down which porn sites you frequent.
You are sir, are a man of taste.
I think those are the drop tanks. But It can have Taurus' on em.
I've always had a question regarding planes, especially old ones.
Whats that thing pointing out at the tip of the nose? I always thought when I was a kid that that was the Ramming Stick, for when you ran out of ammo and one guy was still up.
I'm not sure specifically, but generally it's some sort of instrumentation; pilot tube, air data boom, etc.
>Taurus KEPD 350
So its not a Jousting Spear?
Aw.
Nah. The Germans and Japanese were into that though.
>F-4 Phantom II
>F4U Corsair
>F-14 Tomcat
Honorable mentions to the F8U and Super Étendard.
Planes just aren't as cool if you can't land 'em on ships.
Su-17/20/22 (most aesthetic variable sweep)
MiG-19
Tu-22
>top 3
Here they are
Draken
Jaguar
Buccaneer
Fuck this plane for all eternity.
Because of the Navy lies, we ended up with this piece of shit instead of the EF-111.
Sounds like you just joined the wrong service, buddy.
I met the Author of that book.
I used to work on DC-3s for 7 years.
Ran into him with a group out of Oklahoma that operated a DC-3.
Met him again almost a year later under similar circumstances.
There's something about a plane whose entire nose is made out of cannons and was expected to win slugfests with the largest and most advanced bomber ever created.
Literally everyone saw that plane first on Strikers 1945.
Lightning, Vulcan, Canberra. I grew up in Lincolnshire so we had Lightnings from RAF Binbrook and Vulcans from Scampton and Waddington flying over pretty much every day. Gorgeous aeroplanes.
Personally I'm a fan of the Victor. The Vulcan is definitely the sexiest of the V-Bombers, but the Victor is just such a weird looking aircraft.
Cool I didn't know T-45 could fire missiles
Yeah it's a pitot tube. The reason it was so far forward is because in supersonic flight a plane disturbs the air in front of it as well, so to get out of that disturbed air they put the pitot tube on a long stick.
Cool story, I guess?
>Tomcat
>Rafale
>no solid third winner
I can't decide for a third favorite. Choices include Phantom, Fulcrum, Flanker, Tornado, Crusader, Eagle
Entirely because of Ace Combat for the first. 2nd favorite is the Su-37 and 3rd is the Mirage 2000.

Just look at this sexy thing

>sr-71
The XB-42 is my thing, but the most curious thing, beyond being a pusher, was that it had remote controlled rear-facing turrets on the wings. Wing turrets.
Wing.
Turrets.
You can tell it was a plane designed to unleash canned sunlight on civilians.
Is the gripen better than the F-16?
Any and all C-47s, especially AC-47.
And the An-2 biplane. Tries its best. Just a good, honest plane.
And B-36. Because ten engines, and very bigg
Here are the turrets, which are hidden away under doors while not in use. The doors also acted as secondary rudders and provided additional stability once deployed.
Oh, and the last model pictured was modified and had ramjets added under the wings. You didn't get those off the assembly line, the jets were a custom optional feature.
Then this .gif is for you then.
That's orky as hell
God, I love the Vulcan
youtube.com
It's an absolute travesty that XH558's now permanantly grounded
very brainlet
much ignorance
lol
>Draken
I see you are a man of culture as well
This made me smile. Thanks user.
What the fuck, looks cool but strikes me as extremely wrong.
Imagine a short TV series like Generation Kill but about the crew of a Prowler.
>F-82
>F-4
>can't choose between Me-262 or F-22
1. Flanker
2. Flanker
3. Flanker
I just wanna marry Flanker.
Same
Cold War interceptors is the optimal jet fighter look.
NEEDS MOAR DAKKA
I fucking love cargo planes
I also love whoever the JSDF has in their media corps, they take good pictures
For some reason I can not fathom, I think the Saab 35 is cool as hell.
Maybe its the intakes.
first stol ever
It cant. Thats a BAE Hawk basic model.
Its pure sex. I work on the two remaining flyable ones from time to time
Really like the experimental Super Mirage.
It's like a lady F-15
A-10 will always be best.
