The SR71 Blackbird - WTF Fun Facts

Some day, my Eagle will soar through the stars

@julietteandthejet Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. The technician survived

Technician Accidentally Sets off an F-16 Cannon, Blows Up Another F-16

This sounds like something straight out of a goofy military comedy, but I assure you this is real: a Belgian technician accidentally set of the cannon of a military plane during maintenance, which shot another plane. That plane blew up, damaging the initial plane in the process. Talk about a bad day.

Oooooohhhh snap!

Issa pretty bird

It’s so dumb it’s funny

Have you ever wondered why old people love to sit in the park and feed the birds? Well... I did and I found out. To watch the fireworks. (Birds explode when they are fed rice)

B1-B Lancer

Concept design

@lockheed-martini They gave it that designation to get fighter pilots interested in flying it (And it worked). The plane, although a bomber, handled like a fighter as well

The might of the United States Air Force, in three generations, foreground to background:

Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor

Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk 

McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II

McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle. 

Mine was the F-14 for a long time, but I love the F-15 equally as much now. Nice to see someone with the same taste in aircraft as me.

Favorite fighter jet?

Well, that’s a tough question, my first thought was to say F-15 but I just love carrier operations waaaaaay too much to just put it aside so my favorite fighter is the F-14 Tomcat, mainly because of it’s size and wings, i think it’s beautiful the way it lands and how the wings move when accelerating.
