tfw in 1977 I lived next door to a guy who was a P-38 pilot and later a P-61. We used to drink long island iced teas and he would talk about air combat in WWII.

So how many flares can a fighter jet actually carry?

Is it an actually viable protection against missiles, or is it just kind of like praying to the fire god?

>>31715060

And this is probably one of the most beautiful planes in my uneducated, humble opinion.

Thanks goy. I used a Canon 5DM2 w/ a Canon 400mm lens. I have done weddings, used to do a lot of motor sports work as well for various series. I lost my day job and during the recession and had to eventually sell the equipment to pay bills. Now I am just buying firearms and my wife has been heavy into photography. I borrow her camera from time to time and she borrows my rifles.. works well.

All of what you've posted is fantastic, and the one I linked is literally in the top percent of airplane photos that I've seen, and I spend way way too much time looking at photos of airplanes.

>>31719219
Thank you very much. That means a lot to me. I have been very fortunate to have shot a lot of really cool stuff. I think the best event any aviation buff could go to would be the open house at Edwards AFB. They hardly every put it on... But if when they do...go!

I can post more later if you guys want. I have some from Edwards that are cool. I saw Chuck Yager go up in the back seat of a F-16 and break the sound barrier.

I'm willing to bet the newer BVR missiles can avoid or ignore flares.
