I prefer the Chinook, just because it's bigger and I don't really like the Sea Knight's under-carriage housing at the rear.

It's a cool plane but I'm not gonna pay for it if we don't need it
The military is pretty much a giant money sinkhole
The A-10 Thunderbolt is sexy.
[QUOTE=Leon;21334155]notice how it's almost completely intact :v:[/QUOTE]
Notice how its upside down on the ground?

The TSR-2 would of been an awesome Jet if the labour government had not scrapped it..
Would of been like Concorde, years ahead of its time, more advanced than an F15 and designed over 5 years before the F15.
[QUOTE=BurningPlayd0h;21352524]So they just let 30mm casings fall on people's houses? WTF, are you bullshitting us?
BTW, I love the shithook as well. :smug:[/QUOTE]
A-10s store their spent casings, because a 30mm casing going through a turbofan can fuck shit up.

They're not armed unless the fire select switch is set to rockets, so they're as good as duds.
What's funny is the good old Lanc' is derived from one of the worst bombers to have seen RAF service, the Manchester :P
Yes, made into the best ;)

F15 is the fucking definion of weaponized art, its so beautifull. Yet effective.

AWACS are usually used as an early-warning system, not for seeking out targets.

1. That is a Lancaster (Heavy British Bomber)
2. That scene depicts the plane dropping a special bomb that was designed to blow up that dam.
1. ok
2. was that the "bouncing bomb"?
Oh it was that mission they trained long time and it was of big strategic importance!
I've heard of that.
