Of Russian Navy Aviation
russian jets are so pretty
Yeah
@Marco Antonio what is your pfp
Pilot?
I will say that the F-22 is the sexiest military jet, and the sexiest plane ever is the SR-71
@Tsar Vladimir Putin yup, its the default DCS picture of a tomcat pilot
@KumquatLord the sr 71 is a military jet mate
it's a reconnaissance aircraft
well its still a jet
Should have specified fighter jet
and its military :)
Yep
me and the co-pilot chilling at mach3
lol
there were 2 versions of the SR71, one that was a supersonic interceptor and the other a stealth spy jet
@Marco Antonio technically its a recon officer
@Zilla the YF 12 was the interceptor which never entered service
yeah
I talked with a dude that used to work on a carrier that operated tomcats
he said it was the coolest thing ever to see them take off from the catapult with afterburners and all
which, yeah there are probably good reasons why the the interceptor version never really entered service, cuz the platform already was pretty expensive to build as well as to maintain because of warping in the hull at supersonic speeds that caused fuel leaks
my favorite part of the f22 is that it can reach supersonic speeds WITHOUT afterburners
yeah, I heard that they had it built so that it would leak on the ground but thighten up while flying
Also the fuel doesn't leak at supersonic speeds in the sr71, the expansion of the hull ensures that
> my favorite part of the f22 is that it can reach supersonic speeds WITHOUT afterburners
@KumquatLord is that in a dive though?
Nope
sea level?
It can super cruise
thats great
I don't know if any other jets even can
I mean, you can go supersonic without afterburners with a lot of jets if you are in a dive I'm pretty sure
A lotta jets can supercruise
What in the uncle sam hell
no one really likes black people we are just pressured by society
Su 57 can supercruise without afterburner with the new engine
the su57 is one sexy plane
There are currently only 6 jets that can
