My latest planemodel, Build some weeks ago!
Hungarian Fighterplane „Heja 1“. Southukraine, Summer 1942
A vintage F-86 (well, all F-86es are vintage at this point) at Thunder Over Michigan. One of America's first jet fighters and the basis, essentially, for the Mig-15.
Santa Fe airport, April, 2013. The three planes you see, plus an ME-262, the first operational jet fighter. I can't resist stuff like this. I did resist spending the $425 for a ride in the B-17 but it was a close run thing. Maybe next time they come around.
The Panavia Tornado is a multirole, twin-engined aircraft designed to excel at low-level penetration of enemy defences. The mission envisaged during the Cold War was the delivery of conventional and nuclear ordnance on the invading forces of the Warsaw Pact countries of Eastern Europe; this dictated several significant features of the design. Variable wing geometry, allowing for minimal drag during the critical low-level dash towards a well-prepared enemy, had been desired from the project's start. Advanced navigation and flight computers, including the then-innovative fly-by-wire system, greatly reduced the workload of the pilot during low-level flight and eased control of the aircraft. For long range bombing missions, the Tornado has a retractable refuelling probe.
