Pacific Ocean (Dec. 9, 2005) – An MH-60S Seahawk helicopter, assigned to assigned to Naval Rotary Wing Two One (HX-21), prepares to land aboard Sea Fighter (FSF-1) during flight deck certification off the coast of San Diego, Calif. Funded by the Office of Naval Research, Sea Fighter is a high-speed aluminum catamaran that will test a variety of technologies, which will allow the Navy to operate more effectively in littoral or near-shore waters.

BATTLESTAR UNIVERSE
Near the end of the sixth millennium of time in the Battlestar Universe . This was the most advanced small fighting craft ever devised by man. The flat wings, spear nose coning, sleek aerodynamics , huge twin thrusters for fast attack and retreat. Eventually this design would evolve into the Mk-O Viper fighter followed by the Mk-I .
Having already built the Mk-I Viper and miss naming it as the Mk-II colonial Viper . At the time of completion it was the largest LEGO viper that had been built.
Now this COBRA FIGHTER IS NOW THE LARGEST Lego creation of its kind in the world at the time of completion. Basically I just modified the Viper by removing the third turbo engine and reengineering the underside and changing the colours , flattening the wings.

Two days of flying spits with the great folkds at Aero Legends, day one out of Sywell, and day two out of Headcorn Aerodrome near Kent.
Day 1: First flight was taken out of Sywell Aerodrome in Northamptonshire.
Amazing time flying in drop dead gorgeous Spitfire, for aerobatics, turn at controls, close formation flying with second Spitfire (see pics of second Spitfire from cockpit stills) wheeling over fields and towns of English countryside, under blue skies and broken cloud, with climax of side by side pass down the runway, peeling off, stood up on wingtip, to each side at end, and close formation with T6 for air to air photography.
Pilot is the exemplary 30-year RAF veteran, RAF instructor and great gentleman Flt Lt Charlie Brown, who has 1000+ hours in Spitfires.
Day 2: Amazing time flying in the drop dead gorgeous Spitfire "Elizabeth", for a flight from Headcorn to the Channel coast at Dover, over the RAF memorial, then along white cliffs of Dover in both directions. This was followed by an exhilarating full Spitfire Aerobatics Airshow Routine inland (pilot noted first time he's done with passenger), and then a celebratory Victory Roll over Headcorn Aerodrome.
Pilot was the legendary Flt Lt Antony 'Parky' Parkinson MBE, flying Spitfire Mk IXT NH341 ‘Elizabeth’. Parky was awarded MBE for his work on the Battle of Britain Memorial flights, was a pilot for the Red Arrows, and flew the Euro Fighter Typhoon, F4, Tornado F3, amongst others. Great guy, amazing pilot.
early Curtis fighters Hawk 75 exported to several countries pre war... had both fixed and retracting gear models.... obsolescent starting the war but still a maneuverable capable of holding its own even vs more modern foes... addition of inline engine turned it into the P40....rugged and available in numbers made up for its weaknesses at higher attitudes it became an formidable fighter...

A development of the Yak-1 this lightweight fighter was well liked by it's crews. First flew in 1941 it did not reach full production until '44 due to lack of aluminium and pressure upon the eastern front from Germany

John Milam, pilots assigned to the 134th Air Refueling Wing's 151st Air Refueling Squadron from McGhee Tyson Air National Guard Base, Tenn., prepare a KC-135 Stratotanker for take off at McEntire Joint National Guard Base, S.C., during a refueling mission and orientation flight for South Carolina Air National Guard Airmen and their families April 12, 2015. U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcons assigned to the 169th Fighter Wing flew against U.S. Navy F-18 Hornets from the Strike Fighter Squadron 37 at Naval Air Station Oceana, Va., during dissimilar air combat training. The joint operation allows pilots valuable training and experience to enhance future flying operations. The KC-135 provided aerial refueling during the training.

When rumors circulated that the Terran Union was in the market for a new medium space superiority fighter, Turner Industries leapt into action, completing, with their own funds, a fully working prototype before bidding even began.Needless to say, Turner Industries won the contract handily, as they had already footed the design costs, thereby allowing them to undercut their competitors.
The Perseus is a medium space superiority fighter of middling speed and maneuverability-a strange design decision, to say the least. To compensate for its relatively low speed (for its role), Turner Industries outfitted it with nearly unparalleled firepower and protection for a fighter of its size-it features two heavy hardpoints (usually only found on bombers) that normally mount 30 mm gatling cannons. In addition, this is the first space-faring vessel lighter than a corvette to feature a shield system.
The Perseus is generally quite successful in dogfighting situations, and can be made to be successful in anti-frigate maneuvers by mounting heavier cannons or ship-to-ship torpedoes in place of the gatling cannons.
