The He 111 above me in that pic?
he's really moving
Love that vid
i wonder how many laws he broke there lol
Finally, another rocket launch!!!!!
This mission got scrubbed AGAIN
oof
i may start posting pics from work soon.
here's some from my previous job
sense of perspective. on the main landing gear from a embraer 145-j
pacifier on the maintenance hangar floor
Nice!
too funny
The aerodynamics on that though
So what are your guys views on the retirement of the F111?
Like I get why they're doing it it's out dated but I think they should keep in military airshows as it's one if the greatest US aviation advancements ever
But I am glad that they are reallocating the funds to upgrade A10s
I thought a10s were retired?
Or being retired
Nah
They got an extension
A-10 ain't leaving until 2040
Also I think the F-111 would be great for airshows. Not to mention a great plane.
I forsee the Thunderbolt getting an engine and avionics upgrade to keep it to date though.
A-10 stuff is to you Smokie.
A-10C still flies.

@Dr Badass PhD It is pretty cool for airshows cause of the dump n' burn. It's completely useless but hella cool
Some say a bunch of Aardvarks were put in storage just in case we need more planes. (Don't hold me to that) They are still quite capable, but with the F-15E there really isn't any point to maintaining both at the same time.
Also let's face it. Since 90% of all modern air combat is beyond visual range, when do you guys think we'll be seeing cool paint jobs like this?
Be pretty neat to see 747 up close
