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.

> Also I think the F-111 would be great for airshows. Not to mention a great plane.
@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

Never actually seen one like that

I also want to see a dc10
