Wings tight to the body for more streamliningness. Due to the radical changes of orientation that the wings go through, I couldn't sling ordnance on them, hence the necessity of a bomb bay.
he Tupolev Tu-16 (NATO reporting name: Badger)[2] was a twin-engine jet bomber used by the Soviet Union. It has flown for more than 50 years, and the Chinese licence-built Xian H-6 remains in service with the People's Liberation Army Air Force.
Appears to be a Russian Navy Tu-16K-10 Badger C, probably snapshots taken by an Air Force pilot while he was intercepting them.

I was trying to take a pic of the plane... wel tower 6la3 fel pic bel '3alla6 =P
Yes there is a Plane.. you just need to focus a bit =P
Went down to Mount Batten for Armed Forces Day and got this pic of a Hawker Sea Fury doing its demonstration
just learning how to take night photographs with limited success (focusing is the hardest part!) this picture is kinda cool though since three things came together.
I was the only passenger in this plane from Dar es Salaam to Tanga. The left u/c leg collapsed when we touched down, LH prop hit runway, we veered off to left and slithered to a halt on the grass. No injuries, no fire.
3 back seat passengers drowned after Cessna 206 door flaw slowed their exit. The pilot and one passenger survived the relatively soft crash. With the landing flaps down it blocks the opening of the second row seats door. Exit is only available by crawling back to rear cargo door, unlocking bottom pin and kicking the door open. (Not something a senior citizen or young child can do.)
The pilot and a surviving female passenger were able to get out through the window of the front left-side door.
The TSB said the pilot dove back into the water to help the remaining passengers, but was unable to open the doors from outside the aircraft because they were locked from the inside.
The TSB said the passengers were found with their seatbelts undone, although it couldn't say what efforts they had made to get out of the sinking aircraft.
The report said the impact forces were "well within the range of human survivability" and none of the occupants received immobilizing injuries.
The pilot and woman were rescued by a nearby boater within 15 to 20 minutes.
Little Doctor Lake, about 100 kilometres west of Fort Simpson, is accessible only by float plane in the summer and draws visitors from around the world looking for a wilderness experience.
TSB director of air investigations Natacha Van Themsche sent a letter to Transport Canada, saying she wanted to bring attention to a "significant safety issue" involving Cessna 206 series aircraft that are fitted with double cargo doors.
The TSB found one of the plane's two adjoining exit doors was blocked by the aircraft's extended wing flaps, which made opening the rear door more complicated.
The board says regulators in both Canada and the U.S. have known about the problem with the Cessna 206 since 1998, but no solution has been found and the plane continues to be licensed for up to five passengers.
The TSB says eight people have died since 1989 in accidents in which the wing flaps blocked the door.
"As shown in this occurrence, without functional exits, the time required to exit the aircraft may increase, which in turn increases the risk of death in time-critical situations, such as when the aircraft is submerged or there is a post-impact fire," the TSB letter to Transport Canada said.
(The Cessna Company has issued a memo for a retro fit to fix this problem, but no US or CA agency is making the repair mandatory.)
A photo of the first ever appearance of the world's largest passenger jet Airbus A380 on US soil, back in 2007.
The humongous size of the plane seems to dwarf everything else in the background, including buildings, trucks, people, and even the 'JumboJet' Boeing 747.
With this in mind, I decided to process the image to look like a miniature set to enhance the effect.
In related news today, an Airbus A380 had a slight accident in Paris. Read more here:

I don't know what in hell it is...do you??

At PHL, waiting to go to Italy. Snapped a photo of a different point of view of this plane. I’m usually inside one before I think to take a good look!
When I spotted them I stopped on the side of the highway and got some shots as the flew right over me to land. Almost had to duck 9 times, once for each plane
