Quote HistoryQuoted: You ever seen one in real life? They are fucking massive. Quote HistoryQuoted: You ever seen one in real life? They are fucking massive. The stainless steel (For honeycomb Body panels) was produced by Armco, in Butler Pa. Parts of that plant still operate, but they don’t do much stainless steel there anymore. They also made some titanium there for honeycomb panelsFor the XB-70 - Ti-3Al-2.5V, back in the 1960s. But they had lots of trouble with oxygen contamination. It is amazing to walk under that beast at the USAF museum at Wright Patterson. It was missing (Not easy to get to see as it was in the special projects/presidential hangar on the main base) for a number of years when they rearranged things, before they built the fourth hangar display building. If you love planes and haven’t been there yet, you really need to go. Just do whatever it takes to get there. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Really? I had a model of the Tigershark when I was a kid. But the program never went anywhere except for into the ground (in multiple ways). Why would that be your favorite? It has very close to perfect proportions for a 1960s era design. The bigger engine instead of the two little exhausts of the J85s, and a better formed radome. |

In keeping with antiques that most others won’t post, I’ve always been partial to the DH-2, from the early days of WWI, before the interruptor gears for machine guns. What a string bag, and looks like it would ground loop if you failed for a microsecond to fly it all the way to the ground and full stop.
Not that crazy about it’s opponent, the Fokker Eindeckers. There were a few other German monoplanes early in the war besides the Fokker, but they were all very similar looking.

 B-24 Liberator simply because of all my Dad’s old war stories.  Consolidated PBY Catalina. I built a model of one as a kid and to me it always reeked of action and adventure in far off places. I always imagined owning one and flying it to exotic destinations with or without a runway!

Quote HistoryI always thought that the F-4 Phantom just looked like it was spoiling for a fight. Some war planes are really beautiful with graceful lines, while other planes just look like they want to fight. |
