I think those lines mark the panel lines.

Don't know why though...

So, an F-35B replacing the Harrier this time?

Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills.

End of debate.

Oh come on, you made that one up, right?

Heh, that's pretty high for the Frenchies

I love how the fish scream under water.

You'd scream too if you were forced to be in a movie like that

Dude, that's hilarious

And is that Christopher Lloyd?

British where rats

Ah, right, my bad, it's been a while since I last read it

If I recall correctly...

USA: Bunnies

Vietnamese: Cats (the original story was set in the Vietname war)

Japanese: Monkey

Chinese: Panda

Russian: Bear

Yea... this is like Animal Farm with guns and sh!t.

Australians: Kangaroos

British: Mice

It was pretty awesome.

Too bad Rats wasn't in it though...

BTW, anyone know where I can find Cat poo One 80? I've been looking for weeks now and just can't seem to find it

Darn. blocker over here as well, due to author copyright

That sucks, was really looking forward to this

So, any news of an Airwolf remake yet?

Wait, does the prototype have TVC already? The way those nozzles are pointed down in that pic...

And I seem to remember that in that vid I posted a while back they were shown moving up and down before takeoff as well.

Anyway, I can see this thing being more maneuverable than the F-22 and having longer range, and with the AMRAAM's limited range compared to some of Russia's AAMs it could have a weapons advantage as well (assuming it can get a lock ofcourse).

But aside from that, I found it amusing that nothing was said about the low observability/stealth characteristics of both aircraft

Did they mix 'Wild Thing' (from Tone Loc) with the Smurf's theme?

Why?

Speaking of Saab:

PAK FA Video

But yeah, sexy beast.

Also, is thrust vectoring already incorporated? (see around 1:05 in the video)

I thought I read somewhere that that wouldn't be done until a new engine was ready...

Let me guess. The story deals with Sheryl visiting an S&M shop the first time in order to define her own fashion style.

Sheryl is Rob Halford?

So are those the definitive production standard?

Another PAK FA video

Anyways, the armed T-bird was because a general asked them to "prove it" when it comes to their oft-stated explanation that a T-bird can be war-ready in 72 hours. Well, they technically didn't make it---it's supposed to include repainting into camoflage but there wasn't time.

Aren't the Blue Angels F/A-18s supposed to be capable of being made war-ready in 72 hours as well?

I wonder if there are any similar pics of Blue Angels birds

Almost as crazy as the B-52 that lined up and called the ball according to a guy at ARC.

I've got to read about this.

Do you have a link or something?

Anyways---first F-15SE batches will not have canted fins. Boeing said they will be re-introduced later in the program. (though IMHO, that means it's likely we'll never see them in service)

Why'd they decide to do that?

I wonder how they shielded the engines from radar. From the look of things the entire intake and engine bay assembly is one straight tunnel...

It would explain the divorce/seperation in Macross 7

Why am I suddenly imagining Max wearing a snorkle?

Possibility of Thrust Vectoring for future Typhoons?

http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2009/...or-typhoon.html

Sounds pretty cool, especially the fact that they're thinking it'll help in areas other than aerial combat as well

Thanks guys, glad to see I wasn't spouting complete gibberish
