He served at the Hradec Králové air base, 35Km from my house. His engines sound is associated with my childhood... As well as sound of MiG 21's... and SU 17/22

this must have been a bitch to set up but it's gonna be even harder to undo
>>35159545
why undo it?
>>35159104
I know it has to fly straight down in order to land lol but it just looks so damn goofy. And I think the v-22 already took its place. The DHC-5 which is a turboprop version according to wikipedia couldnt hold more than 20k pounds in cargo and the v-22 can carry exactly that.
Also there is the CASA aircraft which is kinda the same but I dont think it could land in such a short place.
What is the most efficient, safe, and convenient form of aircraft propulsion and why is it the ducted fan?
Also dat boundary layer ingestion.
I have a simple fetish. Heavily loaded aircraft, preferably with ASMs.

looks like CGI. see the clouds
>>35160420
Oh yeah there is ANG guys on here sometimes thats why i asked. And the cgi eagle reminds me of the cgi ass in true detective for some reason.. pic related. The bushes in the layer behind the ass make it look like peach fuzz on a bottom so its a very realistic looking cgi butt.

my friend augured in in this airframe, his rear engine quit on take-off
>>35157346
>>35157516
ya know what, i think your onto something here
>>35157975
Huh weird. It looks like a slightly wrong C-47. I'd guess it's the chinese version that was reverse-engineered or license-built, I forget which.
I think they actually have that plane on some of their money. Not sure about any if it though, too lazy to look it up.
Actually on second examination, I think
>>35158476
is probably right. Those are some very Japanese-looking cowlings and spinners.

That's Quentin Aanenson. He wrote a, uh, "light hearted" letter that he decided not to deliver to his wife.
>Dear Jackie,
>For the past two hours, I've been sitting here alone in my tent, trying to figure out just what I should do and what I should say in this letter in response to your letters and some questions you have asked. I have purposely not told you much about my world over here, because I thought it might upset you. Perhaps that has been a mistake, so let me correct that right now. I still doubt if you will be able to comprehend it. I don’t think anyone can who has not been through it.
>I live in a world of death. I have watched my friends die in a variety of violent ways...
>Sometimes it's just an engine failure on takeoff resulting in a violent explosion. There's not enough left to bury. Other times, it's the deadly flak that tears into a plane. If the pilot is lucky, the flak kills him. But usually he isn't, and he burns to death as his plane spins in. Fire is the worst. In early September one of my good friends crashed on the edge of our field. As he was pulled from the burning plane, the skin came off his arms. His face was almost burned away. He was still conscious and trying to talk. You can't imagine the horror.
>So far, I have done my duty in this war. I have never aborted a mission or failed to dive on a target no matter how intense the flak. I have lived for my dreams for the future. But like everything else around me, my dreams are dying, too. In spite of everything, I may live through this war and return to Baton Rouge. But I am not the same person you said goodbye to on May 3. No one can go through this and not change. We are all casualties. In the meantime, we just go on. Some way, somehow, this will all have an ending. Whatever it is, I am ready for it.

Nah, I can already tell she's over her maximum takeoff weight.

Every transport plane looks like it has incredible takeoff and landing performance when it's completely empty and dry at an airshow.
>>35160162
it is CGI, but they are also showing off Haveglass paint. I was around for its mid life development cycle. When I left we went through early,2,3 and were on UHG. Each generation of haveglass gets a bit more gold/black and shiny. Though what later formulations look like I am unsure of. Apparently Boeing has a strong projected opinion of its future appearance though.

thnx
>>35169357
I had no idea. Thats pretty NATO if you ask me. It looks way better on the vipers than the old light grey nose and slightly darker grey fuselage. The latter paint scheme reminded me of a bird, specifically a sea gull, and I couldnt imagine how it camouflages the aircraft at all or better than a solid color.
I guess it's reflective cause it has some metal in it..
>>35168696
No, IIRC they landed on a US carrier and the US crew had their way with her and besmirched her good name (in good fun, which could be had back in the day).
Theres a pretty interesting plane thread over at
