With a Thunderbird punching out in Colorado, and the unfortunate loss of a Blue Angel, I call for a jet porn thread. I'll dump what I can find in my unsorted pic folder.

Well, I wanted to post the Hornets in the backyard pic to represent the Blue Angels in the thread, but it took too long to find...
>>30149013
>>30149025
Gonna take a break for a while. Will continue if the thread is still up later
Hope you don't mind some OC - most from this year. RIP Blue Angel.

ignoring everything else, that's a bitchin' paint scheme.
>>30149893
>>30148750
I love working on this thing... There is a lot of shit I'm surprised that have lasted as long as it has.
>>30148809
Okay I'm no specialist but he is carrying two tanks for additional range and two bombs.
I suppose it's a countermeasures pod, the stick on the right wing is an air/air missile?
anyhow, how is it cost effective to send a jet fighter with all the measures to protect it carrying only two bombs? He can destroy one or two objectives, wouldn't a missile be cheaper?
Sorry if this question is dumb
>>30149047
And I'm back... Dumping a few pics from an airshow at Dyess AFB last year
>>30150616
Oh, also the Blue Angel was ID'd as Capt Jeff Kruss. RIP, a hard reminder that even the best are still at risk.
Also I have another neophyte question.
This eurofighter is packed with GBUs but I can't find the designation pod. Is there something that I'm missing?
>>30150665
>>30150660
I'm not completely familiar with the Typhoon, but if there isn't a designator built in (I think that red triangle on the underside is a sensor window) there would be a boot on the ground with a designator.
>>30150795
Dog has to take a shit. Will be back
Was gonna go to bed, but I'm postin some Hornets first :3
>>30151023
>>30151037
>>30151023
Please do. I'm out of airshow pics, until I get something to convert .raw and easily do some white balance/basic post processing for the couple hundred other pics I still have on the SD card.
I'll find a few more jet porn though
>>30151049
Lovin the B-1 pics

I used to live in Abilene. Would watch Bones and 130s circle Dyess all day long.
>>30151082
>>30151087
Nothing has changed. Pretty busy.
How often are the airshows?

not sure about Dyess, but every few years. it's a lot to coordinate, especially for smaller bases.
source: helped plan and coordinate my base's airshow last year.
>>30151106
Dyess was one of the bases that was hit by the cutbacks. They used to have yearly airshows, but before that one, they hadn't had one for about 4 years. That year happened to be the 30th anniversary of the Bone coming to Dyess, so they scraped together a 2 day show with the Thunderbirds.

Jet porn, you say?
Hows about some hot XB-70 action!

Fuck man. Can't believe one crashed.
>>30148750
>all that smoke
Greenpeace on suicide watch
>>30150711
that girl in the brown dress is cute
>>30150157
It's a good thing that you obviously don't work on it then.
>>30152006
Pretty crazy they both crashed on the same day.
It honestly makes me kinda sad, I grew up watching these people fly. Yeah I know it's been a different number of people flying but still. These groups are definitely part of the reason that I love aviation so much.
>>30153023

>>30152006
>>30152907
Fuck, that happened only a few miles from where I live.
I know planes crash, but seeing one of the Blue Angels go down during practice is just surreal. At least it was during practice, and not the air show, but still. fuck
F
Two top tier teams in the same day is a sad coincidence. RIP
>>30150969
holy fuck i didn't know they were so small
>>30151290
lol here we go

i wanna stick my dick in it
>>30148750
idk why... but that pic is freakin me out man.
>>30148801
Would've been an awesome pic if it weren't for the fuckin water mark...
>>30151029
Is that the back of the plane? and are those guns sticking out?
>>30148620
>fly-by-wire display teams
not even once.
>>30148787
Is that propellers on that pod?
>>30154461
You know they have all those excess systems removed right? All weapons electronics, GPS, G-suit hardware, and anything else they can strip and keep the airframe flyable is stripped out to save on weight.
>>30154936
They still use fly-by-wire...
You cant just take FBW out like its a USB stick. The aircraft will literally not fly without it.
They only take the gun out and give the pilot even more flight aids by making the stick have more tension.
>>30151290
oh god.....
>>30151290
Do you by any chance have some Hornet sex, kind sir?
>>30154461
>Aircraft stable enough to fly without FBW
topkek not only do you not have a fucking clue what you're on about, you want demonstration teams' shows to be utter snoresville.
>>30157610
Unfortunately, I haven't found any that's not weird anthro bullshit.
>>30154867
Yeah they give a little extra speed.

>>30154461
this is the faggot in the other thread who is glad that a pilot orphaned his two children in a plane accident because he has to be edgy about the Blue Angels
>>30149910
>Greetings
>>30150665
they always plug the afterburners up so ppl can't see the stealth designs.
I know exactly what they look like
literally nothing special.
>>30149910
>danger zone intensifies
The best and the most beautiful thing ever came up from Yurop.

It to prevent FOD
