At the English Riviera air show, Paignton. A thoroughly enjoyable day out.

I can't get enough, I can't get enough of '59 Caddy taillights! It's like a disease! ;)

This wasn't an accident. Three chaps who really knew what they were doing were having fun off Poole beach.

A massive crop of this USAF15C Eagle as it banked past these onlookers... I thought you might like to see the scene with some people in it. The compression of the long lens makes it look like the jet is almost going to hit the people but they're not flinching!

All the pictures below are clickable if you want to see them larger.

While I was fixing my yard earlier this afternoon, I saw this jet stream above me. I thought it was some sort of military flyby for Memorial Day today. I took out my telephoto and snapped a picture of it. As it turned out, it was a jumbo jet.

Aerial frame built around four fusion jets. Perfect for zipping around sky colonies or intercepting and vaporizing stray meteors.

They're here... Awe's photostream... thousands of Mig-21s...

Or Meme-21s, if you're playing the Divide and Conquer series of 'tism simulators. From left to right:

-Meme-21F-2: the most basic version still in service, usually found in client state air forces, as the F-2 was retired from active service in the KNAF in the brief time between the Femynist Invasion (more like radical misandrist invasion) and Demon War. The F-2 differs from the plain F in that it has two missiles and only one 30mm cannon (seen here) instead of no missiles and two 30mm cannons.

-Meme-21IF: Decent avionics were introduced to give the plane all-weather capability and a radar that didn't suck eggs. Sadly, the gun was lost, because no one in the mid-60s thought guns would ever be used in air-to-air combat again. IFs in UAR service got rekt by Samaritan aircraft in close combat because of this.

-Meme-21IFM: Fixing the mistake of no gun, the IFM trades the drop tank for a gunpod with a two-barreled 22mm cannon (better seen here). It also carried the new K-73 missiles, four instead of two old K-13s. There were other features too but whatever.

-Meme-21E: The ultimate evolution of the fighter, achieving third generation status with its look-down/shoot-down radar. The E was a stop-gap solution to the shortcomings of the Meme-23D then coming into service, but by the time the E was in full production the upgraded Meme-23MF was entering production as well. Few Es entered KNAF service before the the Demon War, most saw service in client states. This would be the end of the line for the Meme-21.
