Outstanding! I like how an F-4 and F-22 look good next to anything in the inventory, both new and old.

I recall an air show at Scott AFB IL, many years ago. Prior to the show they were flying in a lot of aircraft. The F-117 Nighthawks looked so eerie streaking across the clear blue skies, and a KC-10 landing looked so BIG as she touched down.

Thanks for sharing!

Just to be reminded that not everything that flies rains death and destruction from the sky. Watch this and I don't think I really have to say anything more -

That is the first P-38 I've ever seen that wasn't a model hanging from my ceiling when I was a kid.
I wish I had my new camera with video and sound to share as well, there is nothing else in the world like a WWII fighter roaring across the sky at low level....and the F-22 sounds just plain spooky....unlike any other jet I've ever heard....and I've heard them all at one point or another!

An outstanding picture! I really like the size comparison. I've also always been impressed with the guns found in the nose of a P-38.

The only plane missing is a P-47 Thunderbolt, although it would look a lot cooler with a flight of A-10s. :D

Oh, yes, very sleek and stealthy looking, filled with good food and outstanding entertainment!

And an original functioning 8-track too :D

Air travel not what it used to be, sad :P


More reto stuff ,but this indeed the stuff for bringing pain from above :twisted:

Interesting footage also of the Sea Vixen, for a 50s/60s era fighter, a lot bigger than you'd think
