  1. Japan is apparently interested in an F-22/F-35 hybrid. To me, the solution is upgrading the F-22 with much of the F-35s avionics. Perhaps this could coerce a lifting on the ban to export the Raptor finally but I'm not holding my breath. https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/aviation/a19871450/japan-lockheed-martin-f-22-f-35-hybrid/
  2. The Luftwaffe's new NATO Tiger paint scheme.
  3. I imagine the Grim Reaper got an ear full when it came for him. RIP Gunny.
  4. That'll buff out. But seriously, glad no one was hurt and I hope they get it back to being operational soon.
  5. Great finale and end to the series overall. Left alot of answers still to be found.
  6. The SoTC remake looks gorgeous, especially in the cinematic mode. My one wish though is that they would have thrown in one or two of the removed colossi in as easter eggs.
  7. Seeing this takes me back to Jane's F/A-18. Yes, I know this is the F/A-18C and not the Super Bug.
  8. One of the best edited videos I've seen of the Rafale with plenty of other good aircraft.
  9. Some interesting stuff still going on at Groom Lake. An F-16D with an IRST pod. Photos of an F-117 being chased by F-16 earlier were also taken. Probably the same one. Using the Nighthawk to test new sensors. http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/16381/rare-ghost-f-16d-toting-irst-pod-likely-based-at-area-51-spotted-in-jedi-transition
  10. I played the hell out of this at any arcade I probably found it at along with the Playstation version. I'm rather intrigued they're making a movie out of it except that the monsters aren't originally mutated people.
  11. It looks like an F-22 mated with a Draken. Not bad.
  12. Yeah. Hoping for a crash in cryptocurrency or the miners just find a better way to mine other than GPUs. Other then that, hopefully they're will be some good deals for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. I love Chris Roberts' early works in Wing Commander. I still wish they would get back the IP off EA and incorporate into Star Citizen. It's not like they don't have the money now. I sort of stopped following SC though so I don't even know where it is development.
  13. Looked like Star Citizen. Sadly, now is not the best time to upgrade the PC with RAM continuing to climb and GPUs still being up there too.
  14. Hmmm. Been waiting for a Harrier simulator model since SVGA Harrier in the 90s.
  15. Sucks what happened to the Spanish Typhoon and the luck the plane has been having as of late. On a lighter note, while not an actual aircraft video, thought this was fun to watch.
  16. General Atomics MQ-25 concept arrives. http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/15037/general-atomics-is-the-first-to-show-off-its-mq-25-drone-tanker-design
  17. The Typhoon was carrying just alittle too much speed at the end. No chance to eject. The Rafale demo was awesome. Great finish.
  18. Sadly an Italian test pilot was killed the other day after his Typhoon crashed into the water while pulling a loop.
  19. The Legacy Hornet still has a jump in its step. Swiss Hornet, I know.
  20. Never knew Northrop had been working on this till now. Beautiful bird that will never see service. The article: http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/14551/these-are-the-best-images-yet-of-northrop-grummans-t-38-replacement-that-could-have-been
  21. Oh hi there YF-23, fancy seeing you at Skunk Works' concepts.
  22. Spent one holiday season during college working at a TRU. Wouldn't do it again but I certainly don't mind wondering around as a customer. There is one next to a now abandoned mall that I walked around last week. I think I was one of only 2-3 customers there. Still, they had some unique toys that I actually wanted to walk away. I remember when they carried Gundam toys and kits 13 years ago. I bought a toy figure of a MS-18 Kampfer at one. I still remember how they used to sell video games when I was kid, when they only showed a pricetag for the game. You'd grab the pricetag and take it to the clerk, they'd fetch the game.
