Ah, i should try to upload a video, the new airbus 350-900 models have integrated cameras.
you can sit and from the undercarriage or the tail watch the planecams live, watch takeoff and landing, it's pretty cool.

Have I ever mentioned that I wanted to learn to be a pilot?

Me too...like every little boy I imagine, I really wanted to grow up to be a fighter pilot.

[DemonGeminiX]

My Mom's uncle has a pilot's license. He flies a small single engine plane. He says it's ridiculously expensive to own one of those things, worse than owning a boat. I told him I didn't give a shit. I wanna fly. :lol:

Amazing to believe the F-15 has been in service for 45 years now and it's still one of the best fighter jets in the world.

I was a little surprised they seem to have skipped out on the thrust vectoring, but its either 1 ) too much for the design or 2 ) fuck those foreigners buying 'em, they cant have that level of goods

Ya, 4th gen fighter, roughly the same age as the F-15E

Canada is considering buying them... poor choice IMO, they're already 30+ years old, kind of a niche design (less than 200 in operation). Hope we go for F-35's instead.

Yeah, niche for sure.

We have F-35's. Oh, boy :doh:

See, we'd be buying them late, just as production costs come down and reliability is increasing :lol:

I had no clue this thing was in development.

its why you dont buy an inaugural model year vehicle :lol: but it should be common knowledge that politics was the reason the f22 is not the flagship standard for the USA

Holy crap I've never seen that picture or heard of this crash. I wonder if there's a Mayday episode on it.


EDIT: As the IG post mentions at the bottom, that photo isn't real which I didn't notice right away. The bridge it hit was not a suspension bridge.
