Yep, no worries! I flew these for a couple of years down in Panama - in fact I took this picture and it shows up all over for the Mighty Chuck-27!  So I appreciate what these can do. I really, really, liked that airplane. But ask me if that or the T-38 I flew just before that is prettier? Ehhhh... I gotta go with the T-38. But that is just me. I love the late 50s - early 60s jets that just looked like like they were going mach snot on the ground. It has already been posted, but that RA-5C Vigilante was perfect. Look at how big that thing is compared to an F-4!  Plus it looks like it is going twice as fast as the old Double-Ugly. Good thread guys, thanks!

Oh yeah. And the Aussies had the balls to do what that thing is doing - dumping fuel and then burning it with the "reheat" (afterburner to us Yanks). This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears above ground he is a protector. Plato | |||

I was gonna put the Staggerwing, but since thats up and this isnt, Id add the F-20 Tigershark  "I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people and I require the same from them." - John Wayne in "The Shootist" | |||

My favorites have always started with "F-4", namely the F-4 Phantom and the F-4U Corsair. Go figure. | |||

Does that include the F4F Wildcat?  I once watched a guy turn on final in one of those, still frantically cranking his landing gear down. I think he made it. -------------------------- Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H L Mencken I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. -- JALLEN 10/18/18 | |||

Many years ago, when the B-1's were stationed at McConnell in Wichita, I was out in western Kansas hunting pheasants. We were driving along a dirt road, warm day, windows down, and all of a sudden overhead passes a B-1 running one of the "oil burner routes" out there at a very low altitude with wings swept. Wasn't supersonic but was really hauling the mail. Never heard him until he was long past us and the roar came over us. Scared the bejesus out of us. Great looking and performing aircraft. They used to use the ridgline on my house to line up for the centerline at McConnell so I saw them on final almost every day and night. Now, it's just the tankers.

The Staggerwing is a beauty. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

She sure was. Shame that Beech bought them all back and destroyed them. But, I'm sure that they learned a tremendous amount about composites from the exercise.

The Pima Air and Space Museum (Tucson, Az; largest privately-owned aircraft museum in the world) has one on display. It is a stunning aircraft. Fear God and Dread Nought Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jacky Fisher | |||
