F15 tbh.

I'm at my parents in Mildenhall, Suffolk at the moment and RAF Lakenheath is only a couple of miles away....get them flying over head daily

Save the props for another thread. This one is all about jet power.

Regarding the Sukhoi's, the Su-27 is a nice looking jet but it always reminds me of tall gangly girls with long necks like Delta Goodrem. Fit, but look like they might have had a few sessions on the rack.

Has to be the harrier, no questions asked, that is one seksi piece of machinery :cool:

You just love it because of the underlying gayness attached to it's movie career and you know it.

I bring yee The Saab Gripen!

It packs 10 odd missles looks like it would sleep with your mother then have the cheek to tell you that she was rubbish, yet it has a history of doing Mach 2 then crashing.

Lightning for me

None are allowed to fly in this country due to the usual red tape bull and safety fears of the CAA

But you can see the one in my photo above and another fast taxi with reheat at Bruntingthorpe airfield on select days in the year:

I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't heard one yet, it's something you must experience in your lifetime :cool:

Or if you have £8K spare, go to South Africa for a flight:

whats the big one in the background?

Murf · 2 Aug 2006 at 13:06

I've always been a fan of the Su-27. Was it the first plane to do what I think was called a cobra manoeuvre with thrust vectoring?

William · 2 Aug 2006 at 13:06

I'll raise headrat's oldschool with the Go-229.
