The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single-seat, twin turbofan engine, straight wing jet aircraft developed by Fairchild-Republic for the United States Air Force. It is commonly referred to by the nicknames "Warthog" or "Hog", although the A-10's official name comes from the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, a World War II fighter-bomber often used in a close air support role during World War II. it's role is to support friendly ground troops and o attack armored vehicles and tanks and for quick-action support against enemy ground forces.
The A-10 is very maneuverable at low speeds and low altitudes to ensure accurate weapons delivery, and it carries the systems and armor needed to survive in this environment.
The Thunderbolt II's endurance gives it a large combat radius and long loiter time in a battle area. Its short takeoff and landing capability permits operation from airstrips close to the front lines.

Die An-27 ist ein STOL-Transportflugzeug für Kurz- und Mittelstrecken.
Die Kurzstart- und Landeeingenschaften werden durch die beiden Turbofan-Triebwerke, die vor und über den Tragflächen angeordnet sind, erreicht. Der Luftstrom wird damit über die Tragflächen geleitet, um so den Auftrieb zu erhöhen. Von diesem Transportflugzeug wurden 121 Exemplare gefertigt.
Das Vorbild des Modelles der estnischen Fluggesellschaft Enimex hat die Seriennummer 36572070695 und wurde am23.07.1997 ausgeliefert

Amazing close-up of the Polish Air Force MiG-29 Fulcrum doing his signature go-around after a low pass in landing configuration. Some children next to me were sad that the MiG was landing and the show was over. Knowing what was to come, I kept my mouth shut and heard their joyful screams as the Fulcrum lit the burners and went vertical right net to us. Awesome!

1 G-CIVB British Airways 747 has been transformed into a party plane at Cotswolds Airport - and it is available to hire.
2 The BA B744 at Cotswold Airport in Kemble has been transformed into an events space to host everything from private birthday parties to product launches and corporate events.
The aircraft is being preserved at the site near Cirencester after British Airways retired its fleet early because of the travel downturn caused by the Covid pandemic.
It was bought for just £1 in 2020 and has since been a labour of love for the airport's chief executive Suzannah Harvey.

The Handley Page Victor K.2 tanker evolved from the original Victor B.2, ‘V’-bomber, which entered service with the Royal Air Force in October 1961. The first K.2 flew at Woodford on 1 March 1972. It had a crew of five, and was powered by four Rolls-Royce Conway turbofans of 20,600 lb thrust each. It had a maximum speed of 640 mph (Mach 0.92) at 40,000 feet, a ceiling of 59,000 feet and a range of 3,500 miles.
Victor K.2s made a substantial contribution in the Falklands War, flying over 3,000 hours and making over 600 air refuelling sorties from Ascension Island, in support of the Vulcans, Nimrods, Hercules and Harriers. They also flew in the Gulf War, refuelling the Tornado and other allied aircraft. The Victor’s outstanding versatility and advanced design enabled it to have the longest service of all the ‘V-bomber’ generation.
XL231 joined 139 Squadron on 1 February 1962, returning to Handley Page for conversion to a B(S.R) Mk 2 in November 1963 and joining the Wittering Wing in July 1964. It was converted to become the prototype K.2 Tanker on 23 January 1972 and saw service in the Falklands War, in support of the air operations from Ascension Island, and later in the Gulf War. It was flown into retirement at Elvington in November 1993. The aircraft is kept in ground operational condition by Andre Tempest and his ground crew.

The Antonov An-225 Mriya is a strategic airlift cargo aircraft that was designed by the Antonov Design Bureau in the Ukrainian SSR within the Soviet Union during the 1980s. It is powered by six turbofan engines and is the heaviest aircraft ever built, with a maximum takeoff weight of 640 tonnes. It also has the largest wingspan of any aircraft in operational service. The single example built has the Ukrainian civil registration UR-82060.
A few of the large number of Boeing 707s and 720s bought by Boeing in the 1980s to facilitate the conversion of KC-135As to turbofan power. The airliners donated their engines, pylons and throttle pedestals, as well as horizontal stabilisers, all of which were needed to carry out the upgrade. In this image, taken in rather dull weather, ex-Conair 720B TF-AYB (previously OY-APW) is on the left and on the right is ex-Saudia 707 N1673B (previously HZ-ACD). Both had arrived earlier in 1987.

However, for me as an aviation engineer and passionate photographer, it is important because it captures the dynamic of flight and rare atmospheric effects. That is why I like Flickr, because I have the creative freedom to add such grainy, 100% crop photos.

After years of dreaming about it, the moment finally came to be face-to-face with the IL-96. This aircraft, CU-T1717 is a former Aeroflot frame, registered RA-96008. In 2014 Aeroflot retired all IL-96 and most were sold to Cubana. However, this is the only one still flying, the others being parts donors. The aircraft retains the Aeroflot colours, with Cubana titles painted on. Note the fracturing of the letters, must have been cheap paint :). It is named after Iakov Moiseev.

Later this evening REX airlines were placed into administration and all 737 flights stopped. This was one of the last 737 flights to work out of Melbourne.
Seeing my first B-52 take-off was really quite something. One thing that I will remember for a while is the sound of those 8 P&W TF-33 turbofans helping this big lump of an aircraft take-off right in front of my lens.

Possibly an Eastern Airlines '727
Boeing 727
The Boeing 727 is an American narrow-body airliner that was developed and produced by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. After the heavier 707 quad-jet was introduced in 1958, Boeing addressed the demand for shorter flight lengths from smaller airports. On December 5, 1960, the 727 was launched with 40 orders each from United Airlines and Eastern Air Lines. The first 727-100 rolled out on November 27, 1962, first flew on February 9, 1963, and entered service with Eastern on February 1, 1964.
The only trijet aircraft to be produced by Boeing, the 727 is powered by three Pratt & Whitney JT8D low-bypass turbofans below a T-tail, one on each side of the rear fuselage and a center one fed through an S-duct below the tail. It shares its six-abreast upper fuselage cross-section and cockpit with the 707 that was also later used on the 737. The 133-foot-long (41 m) 727-100 typically carries 106 passengers in two classes over 2,250 nautical miles [nmi] (4,170 km; 2,590 mi), or 129 in a single class. Launched in 1965, the stretched 727-200 flew in July 1967 and entered service with Northeast Airlines that December. The 20 ft (6.1 m) longer variant typically carries 134 passengers in two classes over 2,550 nmi (4,720 km; 2,930 mi), or 155 in a single class. A freighter and a "Quick Change" convertible version were also offered.
The 727 was used for domestic flights and on international flights within its range. Airport noise regulations have led to hush kit installations. Its last commercial passenger flight was in January 2019. It was succeeded by the 757 and larger variants of the 737. There have been 353 incidents involving the Boeing 727.[4] Production ended in September 1984 with 1,832 having been built. The 727 was an industry workhorse for many years, often fondly referred to as "the DC-3 of the Jet Age."

A Royal Canadian Air Force CF-18A Hornet (188730), second of a pair, operating out of RAF Waddington - carrying out low flying ops in LFA7 during Ex Cobra Warrior 23-2.
As Hollywood as it sounds I managed to get to an acceptably elevated position just a couple minutes before the roar of GE turbofan engines filled the valley. Phew!
The day was pretty tricky with the heat, & with dust being carried in the air & rain from recent Sahara storms getting on the chest & on the camera.
I was glad for a shower that evening.

The BAe Nimrod MR2 was a maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare aircraft based on the de Havilland Comet, the world’s first jet airliner. Other roles were anti-surface warfare and search and rescue. The long-range Nimrod MR1 and MR2, with a normal crew of 12 and powered by four Rolls-Royce Spey turbofan engines and variously armed with air-to-surface missiles, torpedoes or mines, served with the Royal Air Force from the early 1970s until March 2010 when the fleet was withdrawn from service. The replacement Nimrod MRA4 project was cancelled and the airframes scrapped following the Strategic Defence and Security Review.
Nimrod XV250 was built at Woodford as an MR.1 aircraft and first flown on 21 January 1971. It was delivered to RAF Kinloss on 18 February 1971 and was transferred to 203 Squadron at RAF Luqa, Malta on 4 February 1972. The aircraft returned to Kinloss in 1975 and was transferred to Woodford on 16 June 1982 for conversion to MR2 specification. It made its initial flight in that configuration on 10 June 1983 and was re-delivered to RAF Kinloss on 8 July 1983. Except for periods at RAF St Mawgan in 1979 and the 1980s, XV250 remained based at Kinloss with deployments elsewhere until withdrawn from RAF service on 31 March 2010. The aircraft made its last flight to Elvington on 13 April 2010, where it is maintained in ground operational condition.

The slide was undated, but G-APFC was noted at Riem on 7 April 1973, which may well be the date of this shot. The aircraft is taxiing to runway 25 for take-off, with the Rolls-Royce Conway turbofans prominently in view. This shot was taken from outside of the airport fence.
First flight on 24 January 1960 and delivered to BOAC on 16 May 1960. Transferred to British Airways in April 1974 and stayed with the airline until wfu and sold back to Boeing in 1975 for destructive testing. The cockpit seems to have ended up at Wade’s Salvage Yard in New Jersey (see link below).
