That looks and sounds terrible.

I'm guessing 1984 from the apparent ages of everyone in it.

Aircraft of the modern era Ste.

I.E. not made from balsa wood and tissue paper.

Lots of stuff from the 50's and 60's is utterly timeless and never seems to age.

HOLY CRAP!!! That is quite literally awesome. I've never even seen or heard of it before either.

It looks like a cross between a yank military slant on Concorde with a hint of Thunderbirds and a dash of space race thrown in.

I love it.

I love the F22. This is a plane I need to see at a show! Never seen anything move like it and I bet its a million times better in the flesh.

Plus it just looks fucking scary!

SURELY YOU DIDN'T JUST SAY THAT OUT LOUD!

That must be one of the most misguided statements I've heard all week.

As well as being grammatically wrong, your idea that the GR9s are doing less than the A-10s is complete shit and makes me

For one, the Predator is flying more missions/hours than the A-10 and secondly, I am still in close contact with old mates on 3 Squadron who are there right now and telling me how much flying they are doing in comparison to the yanks due to the increased accuracy the Harrier has and is so much more preferred by the ground troops.

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

the a10 is more of shotgun, harrrier more of a sniper rifle with regards to the accurcacy / munitions delivery, and as the troops / taliban are normally within close promximity with one another, i think the harrier is ther better aircraft

as ste said

Wow, that's an amazing snap.

Theres also the F23, and F35 Lightning II (which comes in different varients, but my favs the STOVL F35 (Short Take Off Vertical Landing) which does exactly as its description describes. You can image google more about each plane.

Heres some pics n bits..
