C'mon guys, lets get a Fighter Aircraft Thread up.
I start, F-4 Phantom II
>>956297
Another one, taking off from USS Frankling D. Roosevelt (CV-42)
>>956297
Stop then land or land and then stop ?
>>956309
>>956297
Any landing you can walk away from.
Military aircraft belong on /k/
>>956315
Military can do /n/
Some of the things they /n/ are not exactly friendly but put putting a to b via z is basically what they do.
>>956317
Maybe if this thread was about transport aircraft operated by militaries, it would be an arguable point, but it isn't, and there's no ambiguity about this question.
Transportation is defined in the board rules as being exclusive of transporting bombs, missiles, and other explody things, onto enemy targets. There's a board for that, and it isn't this one.
>>956318
These guys are all /k/ so much so they'll quite happily leave /k/ dripping out of your ass.
Right now they're most definitely /n/ .
>>956316
Not really. Atlantic Conveyor was a tidy little RO-RO ferry that got caught up in the Falklands tiff and found herself a makeshift aircraft carrier.
Bravo November was one of her compliment.
>>956320
What does that even mean? Are you trying to sound tough?
>>956324
You object to my pictures of a ferry.
FUCK OFF.
>mfw mustang fags BTFO
>>956396
It had a dog shit clime rate. The F6F was superior.
>>956297
Too big, too heavy, no gun, smoked like a steam train, shit roll rate. Light the burner though and you're gone.
>>956404
>Light the burner though and the fuel is gone.
FTFY
>>956404
Retro'd a 30 cal gat, yeah bruh? Holy shit on the unburnt fuel like a skywrightter yerrrd.
>>956405
Yep
>>956406
Dat gat was about as useful as tits on a nun. F4 was a POS. Lucky it didn't have to go up against Soviet pilots (much).
>>956312
harriers have real cool lines
theyre pretty small too
I remember being around one at an airshow, it was the most painful noise I've ever heard. The B1B was the loudest noise I've ever heard.

They need to put canards, all flying tail, and thrust vectoring on the Textron Scorpion.
>>956401
But these are the Corsairs
Breitling planes were bretty cool at the air show last weekend. "Fighter Trainers" though.
They had an F-35 and that plane just disgusts me. What a POS.

>>956309
>those containers
>helicopters parked in the middle of the ship
>we're just a commercial freight liner, nothing special to see here!
>>956324
I don't know, maybe it's a bot trying to learn language from 4chan shitposts.
>>956614
It's a new fighter with all sorts of bells and whistles, it'll be expensive. The Super Hornet's an upgrade of a decades-old machine and its capabilities are matched by potential rivals.
>>956688
Exactly. Some air defence, in hindsight, might have been a good idea.
Pity she took billions of tons of supplies to the ocean floor.
;)
>>956688
Air wing. Most of them got off before the boom.
>>957050
>>956485
Riiiiight....'poor man's fighter' at a mere $20mil each. Can buy 2 MiG-29s for that price. Or better yet, A HUNDRED L-39s with about the same performance. Its as if Cessna wanted to lose on purpose.
>>957049
>Billions of tons
Something something SI brochure, or just grade school physics
>>957249
Way, WAY, too much kit losses have been written off as loaded on her. The mass of the Donnington warehouse that caught fire a year later would have collapsed the planet had the kit ever existed.
Just saying.
>>957050
Boom?
>>956396
>>956401
P-47 best
But any R-2800 fighter is awesome
>>957839
She was sunk by an Exocet. The Harriers made it off before the attack but some choppers were still aboard iirc.
>fighters thread
>no airacobra
/n/ pls
found this old wrecked-fighters-museum on a bike trip a week ago
>>958248
This thread just entered an unrecoverable flat spin after a good solid sneeze, thanks anon
Your fault for not posting airacobra.
>>958112
More importantly all the things to support those things that got away. Parts, spares, the manuals.
That and the aforementioned Brazillion tons of supplies below deck.
Here's a wanky scan proving that the aircraft were only the tip of the iceberg.
>>956320
That bunch just buzzed my village earlier in formation.
It was one of those hello who is this noisy bastard coming.
I guess today must be an RJ Mitchell / Spitfire related day from my locale.
Someone could at least booked a nicer day.
>>958421
My bad, they were heading for Blackpool Pleasure Beach at look at me I'm a pilot level.
Right over that waypoint.
>>958248
Don't give me a P-39
With an engine that's mounted behind
It will tumble and roll, and dig a big hole
Don't give me a P-39
On their way to remove kebab
>>958550
Those are attack planes, not fighters
>>958109
Love those big ugly Jugs. Fuckers could take a beating.
>>958295
>dat shit-tier saddle
I don't get why anyone falls for the Brookes meme.
>>958112
okay, now i´m curious. sauce?
>>958408
just exactly how many is a brazillion?
>it took me about four minutes to write this post because i´m way too drunk for this shit
>>958567
>shitposting this badly
>>958317
They found out that those flatspins were because the Soviets were retarded vatniks who didn't load it with ballast in place of ammo when it was flying with those guns empty
>>958759
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Atlantic_Conveyor
>>958780
>because the ammo isnt used for shooting and you might well be doing half the trip without it after firing it at someone
Golly gee Cleetus, stay out of aircraft design. You shouldn't fucking have to carry ballast in place of ammo to keep the plane stable. Not if you ever intend to use said ammo.
Sometimes fighters don't come with bangy stuff.
Clicky clicky Berlin.

>L-39s
out of production commie block
The Scorpion can at least have modern electronics.
There is an excellent jet fighter thread on /hr/
That time when the bongs stole a F4 from the marines
>>959349
thanks anon
>>958567
>>958773
Yeah just came back to the board after a few days and see this in every second thread. Whats up with this guy? Did he get fired from his job as window cleaner at Brooks? Is he mad he can't afford a Brooks saddle? Did he get some mad hemmorids and blames the saddle?
Or is it just the new forced meme like that downtube thing?
>>959032
L 39 NG soon in the hangar near you
>No Glorious F7F Tigercat
You plebs disgust me
>>956485
The scorpion is strictly ground attack m8.
>>963621
I want those things on the Scorpion. So if I ever get insanely rich. I will buy one and use it as a private plane and aerobatics plane.
>>963624
Tidy.
let's kick it up a notch
