Ive never heard abyone reference who made the A-10 before. Neat!

Obviously a bunch of geniuses! "Let's make a huge freaking gun, then design the plane!"

US planes... never seen those. Except for everywhere all the time.

What's the term for being sexually attracted to fighter aircraft?

My son flies the F-22. It's a bad-assed plane and much bigger it looks in pics. 62' long!
TheDayTheBrainStoodStill
With a sky background there's often not much sense of scale present, but #2 really puts into perspective how *big* modern fighters are.
supraman2turbo
Yeah the F-16 is a small fighter and makes the P-51 look tiny
Luxomancer
These are fantastic.

It's kinda amazing how many things can launch a Hellfire.

@op Neat, now I’m going to go play ace combat

Would've loved to see some MiGs and SUs in the dump. They've got some real beauties too.
desertpilot42
Me too. These are just some of the shots I was able to take in the last few months.
VodkaReindeer
Why can't all planes be F-22s?
pritolus
'cause the Americans aren't sharing
CakeShapedPie
They stopped making them and now they are for show because they cant afford to lose any.
mudmann1012

I don’t know planes but I’ll bet I can figure out the names of those two. +1

F-15C, still undefeated in air-to-air combat

We just received the first F-15EX to compliment the F-22s...F-15EX costs 80 million :-(

Just so we know nations other than USA make planes.
LoodGookin
The bullseye is even included.
bigguywhokills
I love that plane more than I rationally should. Largely due to the 1995 video game EF2000.
OogaOogaMooshka
I wish they had names to identify the type of plane.
desertpilot42
Sorry for the delay, I just added the names to every image. Cheers!

Oh cool! Thank you!

What's the split tail pusher prop in #7? Looks like a modern take of the OV-10 Bronco.

Northrop Grumman Firebird, a rather new spy plane. Can fly as an UAV too. Design was done by a team lead by Burt Rutan.

Cost Overruns
taqPCR
The F-35: costs 1/3rd as much to buy and half to run (F-35A vs F-22), has CATOBAR and STOVL carrier versions, has internal 2000lb (1)
taqPCR
munition capability, has a stealthy built in targeting system allowing it to find and attack moving ground targets, (2)
taqPCR
it also doubles as an infrared search and track against air targets, has the DAS to see targets on the air and ground in the (3)
taqPCR
full sphere around it (the F-22 has a similar system but less powerful and focused on detecting missiles), has the ability to share (4)
taqPCR
information with other craft and not just receive it (this is huge) vs the F-22 which can only share with other F-22s. (5)
HurtfulTurkey
Landing on an aircraft carrier
bluekestral
Vtol
SapphireXK
Which has what practical use compared to standard assisted launch and free launch?
taqPCR
Well the F-22 can't do a catapult launch either. So carriers of any type.
HurtfulTurkey
The ability to take off of smaller carriers without long landing areas or catapults
bluekestral
Improvised fields and hilly or mountain areas. Regular aircraft can't take off from those.
SapphireXK
Fair enough. That's a +1 to F35. But can it do anything else better than the F22?
