what would happen if they made an AC-5. i think i would run! :tank:

I have many, but I guess my favs are the A-10 thunderbolt(warthog), Skunkworks 117 Stealth bomber, and the Rockwell B1 bomber. As far as Heli's not much can touch the Tigre Heli by Eurocopter.

 

[Idolofreak]

Skunk Works is so cool.

My dream General Aviation plane to have:

Beech Model 17 Staggerwing :tt1:

 

[Idolofreak]

And this is my favorite stunt plane, Sean Tucker's Oracle Challenger III. Sean Tucker is ranked #1 stunt pilot in the world and was inducted into the Aviation Hall of Fame in 2008. And believe it or not I've met him in person and have a picture to prove it. :blink: His plane has eight ailerons instead of four, and can roll 700 degrees per second. He can actually stand the plane on its tail and make it hover for up to a minute.

Here's the Cobra pic.

It's got a triple barrel rotary machine gun under the nose.

I think it's very cool but Russia basically stole the F-22 body shape and changed it a little. Still a cool fighter though.

Retro-futurism incarnate: a vehicle that is both car and plane in equal measure - cheaper than most sports cars and Up for sale at the end of 2012! Spread the word or not even the youngest among us are going to see flying cars in our lifetimes...

But seriously, we all know we aren't going to see flying cars in our lifetimes. That's why it's called retro-futurism.

They belong with flying aircraft carriers... cool, technologically manageable, but never going to see mainstream use

Oh yeah forgot about the AC130. As far as helicoptors I like the Cobra and Apache both but have been witness to the Apache doing its dirty work. The F22 is really a nice bird as well.

Majority of my C17 experience has been of the flavor in this pic. Though I have actally landed in em too:

That'd be so cool to jump out of a C-17. One of the things I've always wanted to do the most is skydiving.

Well military jumping like this and skydiving are two totally different animals. Two vastly different purposes as well.

 

[Idolofreak]

Oh yeah I know. Skydiving is just for fun, Military for more important purposes. Those Navy Seal HALO Jumpers are awesome but CRAZY. The Seals actually have jumper dogs too. :blink:

 

[rs4guy]

Halo jumps are insane. Talk about a rush!

Halo is a military version of "skydiving."

 

[rs4guy]

Ha, something like that. Rebreather, check!
