Post pretty/rare pictures of aircraft that have been retired and relegated to museums.

>Planes must be out of active military service across all nations to qualify.

For example, F14 is still in use ion Iran so is not valid.

B-57 / Canberra is being used by NASA and not any militaries so it is valid.

>Aircraft with no airworthy examples get bonus points.

>Do not discuss aircraft's relative capabilities as someone will be triggered.

MiG-15 is cute.

Hummingbird is also cute, but nobody wanted it and performance wasn't great anyway.

This shit was done before.

In WW2 the UK was looking for a jet fighter for pacific island hopping and they were offered the Saunders-Roe SR.A/1, but the war ended too soon so it was cancelled. It apparently had surprisingly good agility for jet fighters of its time - perhaps because it did not carry the weight of undercarriage.

The Tu-144 is kind of like the concorde, but it has canards that swing out at low speeds that make it look like it has puppy ears so that automatically makes it better.

Would you pet the pupper?

All of China's MiG-15s are retired. They still use J-5/MiG-17s to train with however.
