F111 always under represented IMO

As ever, ekrano-awesome

Thread fail!

An Ekranoplan is NOT an aeroplane…

Do you think that one I posted up is from Oman too?

Could be loads of places TBH, they’re wearing tropical kit, so choose from perhaps Khormaskar (Aden), Akrotiri, Kai-Tak, Muharraq (Bahrain)

Sweden’s Saab JAS 39 Gripen
These two belong to Hungary – Hungarian JAS-39-C/Ds

This belongs to Sweden (twin seater)

This belongs to Czech Republic. (single seater)

… don’t know why but I always like small fighter jets.

Since i had a little flight in this i have become very fond of the Tiger Moth

More Swedish Cold War technology.

Which is nice.

Ben, was sure I’d answered you re those pics on the last thread! If not, will ask around again. I know someone who will know.

Stewart, that Skyvan was ’71, I believe. And, if I’m right, it was the first of two tours that the pilot took out there. (My father!)

Great, cheers – I also need to work out where in the attic I put the originals 😉

the Draken is an awesome plane.
Remember at an air show in Denmark, where one came out of a cloud at low altitude, banking on knife edge with full afterburner, what a sight that was (not to mention the sound)

When they have this I don’t know why Red Bull bothers with F1.

Truly awesome, and now flying:

Canard Mig-21, the most awesomeist mig ever.

Awesome. And still doing the business today 8)

Victor + Vulcan, nice.

Mach 3, if you didn’t mind replacing the engines.

Not strictly an aircraft. But…

Napier Sabre.

5,500 hp !

This is pretty awesome, photos of the ‘Spruce Goose’ being built http://mashable.com/2015/08/21/howard-hughes-plane/

A link, rather than a photo, but the videos are too good to miss, Precious Metal, an Unlimited Class air-racer, modified P-51 Mustang with a Griffon engine and prop/hub assembly from a Shackleton = tres freaking awesomeness!

Anyone for 12 Merlins?

Vulcan + Eagle…

Do you planespotters aviation enthusiasts know anything about the red/white plane doing aerobatics over Anglezarke Moor mid-afternoon yesterday?

Maybe a “Red Letter Day Aerobatics Experience” type thing, but I can’t find any North West locations.

Triple awesome

dagger; dagger; dagger

loved the sr71 story

A400M came over Wirral just now. Weird noise!

An Mi26 moving a Chinook…those crazy russians.

add a headboard to a 737 and you get…
