The Bristol Type 188 is a supersonic research aircraft designed and produced by the British aircraft manufacturer Bristol Aeroplane Company. It was nicknamed the Flaming Pencil. Across 51 flights, the Type 188 reached a top speed of Mach 1.88 (1,440 mph : 2,300 km/h) at 36,000 ft (11,000 m). The longest subsonic flight lasted only 48 minutes, which was largely due to 70 percent of the aircraft's total fuel capacity being consumed just to attain its operational altitude. XF926 was dismantled and moved to RAF Cosford (without its engines) to act as instructional airframe 8368M, and is preserved at the Royal Air Force Museum Cosford in Shropshire.

I was so hyped that Top Gun: Maverick is finally coming to theaters that I just had to build the iconic F-14 Tomcat, the fighter jet from the original movie, complete with it´s signature folding wings. The long awaited sequel has it´s Swedish premiere tomorrow and I´ll be there, ´cause I feel the need, the need for speed!

The F-290 Pitviper is a near future upgrade of the Grumman X-29 forward swept wing concept. The DSN felt that not only should we have excellent high performance fighter aircraft... but they should look cool too.
The aircraft features two seats for a pilot and RIO, working landing gear and gear doors, underwing fuel tanks, and four movable control surfaces: canards, and aft deck up/down flap/spoilers.
The front few studs of the nose shape was copied pretty closely from a beautiful build by Ralph Savelsberg.

This build and perhaps more to come on this account are for the game Decisive Action 4 on Flickr. Come on over and check it out!
A US Navy E/A18G Growler flying during the Growler demo at the 2025 Abbotsford Airshow. It was loud and the pilots didn't hold back. I can still hear the afterburners when I look at these shots.

I normally gravitate towards sunny weather but sometimes I just love the mood in shots like these, capturing the moody, glum atmosphere of the weather. I can almost taste the air.
