Does /k/ really unironically like old planes?
>>30234585
Yes.
Yeah
>>30234585
F-86 a shit. A-1 Skyraider a best.
>>30234688
What it lacks in being pretty, it makes up for in being radical.
Dick Status: muh.
>>30234585
Phantom master race.
>>30234585
Well, yeah. Why wouldn't someone like old planes?
Each era of air combat has unique advancements, hazards, tactics, and heroes.
>>30234585
Do people unironically like old cars, movies, art, music?
I've recently taken on an affinity to the Beaufighter
>>30234585
If modernized then yes.
>>30234585
>are people ever not disingenuous ?
yea naw git the fuck out with your fake bs
They're ok I guess
I like WW1 and interwar planes
Old planes are pretty cool

I honestly don't understand how someone could give a shit about old designs. They should all be scrapped or tossed in a boneyard and used as recycling. The purpose of a war plane is to fight wars, once it ceases to be good at this what is the purpose of keeping one around except pure bullshit sentimentality.

If it has to be explained then you'll never get it.

>>30238019
That's one cancerous opinion you got their buddy.
>>30238160
Where is this? Castle??
>>30238099
It doesn't have to be explained to me, I'm just beyond that mentality. The mind of a good military thinker is in the future not the past. I like things like software integration, stealth capability, and thrust vectoring, things that actually improve the survivability of a design, things which old planes clearly lack.
>>30238243
You're really one dumb mother-fucker aren't you, all uppity and shit on your 'enlightened' high horse.
Your expensive 'modern' good for nothing piece of shit will NEVER defeat good old practical design. A fucking cessna is able to kill more, do more and survive a lot longer than your worthless meme-garbage with thrust vectoring shit.
A FUCKING CESSNA IS MORE RELEVANT ON THE MODERN BATTLEFIELD THAN ANY BULLSHIT WITH THRUST VECTORING
>>30238236
yes
>>30234585
Who doesn't like old warbirds? Homos?

Homo here. I love old warlords, and pretty much every other combat aircraft.
Nice bait OP, 7/10 well done.
>>30240606
they'd just fuck it up anyway
>>30240630
Cessna A-37 Dragonfly my good friend.

ftfy
Yes.

100% PURE SEX
>>30238243
Can you not understand why someone might appreciate an older design? If someone builds an M16A1 clone do you just get completely bemused as to why they would want a gun that doesn't have a collapsible stock and any modern attachment points?
Mach 2 in 1955.
The golden age of British aviation is over ; ;7
I work on f-18s which are semi old.
Ive since learned to fucking hate aircraft.
>>30234585
>unironically
Do you even know what irony means?
and the answer is yes. classic 50's and 60's jets are some of the most beautiful machines ever created.
>>30240646 beautiful machines, those
>>30234585
Yes
>>30240646
Mmm.... Got to see one of those do a few simulated CAS runs at an air show
>>30238160
>>30238319
Oh, yeah, that's Def Castle.
Been inside of both of those beauties. Open Cockpit Day... Do they still do that?
>>30238019
Holy shit that you are underaged.
>>30240646
>that cute little trainerplane got replaced by the A-10
It does sort of look like a larval BRRRRT.
>>30238099
SR-71's were so alien. A shame we don't fly them anymore.
>>30234711
This is the best thing I have read today
>>30241458
I heard they tended to leak fuel like a motherfucker though.
>>30234585
Hell(cat) yes!
>>30241574
they had too. The heat caused expansion which sealed the leaks at Mach 3.
>>30234585
The fact that the MiG-15's NATO reporting name is "Fagot" will never not make me giggle
>>30240646
>>30243313
>Now this is podracing
>>30238302
If by modern you mean goat fuckers, yes. However, things can change quickly. I hope you don't think a Cessna can beat an F22, or a Stinger.
>>30244530
The OV-10G+ recently saw action in Syria
What's old is new again
>>30245516
Why have one prop, when you can have two and a turbine?
Why the hell wouldn't you like Old designs? As a matter of fact my favorite fighter was designed a long, long time ago.
>>30234585
I want a Stuka
and cropdust
>See Atuka divebombing, iconic siren ringing
>Senile ww2 vet thinks it's habbening again
>Get shot down by single bullet
>He still has it
>>30238243
Anon I think you might be retarded. We don't like the planes because we think that they're better than new planes, we just think they're cool
>>30245547
>Tail hooks and nose wheel centering cams are for suckers.

kys
The more gadgets something has on it the shittier it becomes, because it's reliant on infrastructure that won't be there during war.
Now, a cessna that's ACTUALLY serviceable by single induviduals, that's something everyone could vouch for.
>>30240646
Best thing about those are their size.
You do not get it until you walk by one at an airfield (show or whatever).
It's like a flying miata.
>>30245537
I prefer the snub nose of the older Broncos
