Dear An-225,
We miss your power. Every day, you showed the world that it’s a commie sky and uncle Sam’s asleep. You carried the heavy burden of space flight on your shoulders. You carried cargo to the ends of the earth. Ye appreciate your service, and we miss you so much. Good night, sweet prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
Fun fact: the MiG-25 had a top speed of Mach 3.8, but when it reached those speeds for prolonged time it would damage the engines, so it was held back to Mach 3.2 until active interception. It was also originally built to intercept the cancelled B-70 Valkyrie, but got a new lease on life with the creation of the SR-71 Blackbird. It was exported to a few Arab nations, where it helped reconnaissance operations on Israeli military operations, perfectly immune to interception by Israeli F-4s. It has been replaced by the MiG-31 “Foxhound”, which was originally a variant of the Foxbat. It still serves with the Syrian military to this day, but even there its days are numbered, as they are looking for a replacement for the aging aircraft. The reason it has large wings is because the aircraft is aerodynamically a flying brick, without the lifting body found in most fighters. The United States mistook it as a highly maneuverable aircraft, which led to the F-15, which was the most capable fighter in the US arsenal until the arrival of
The F-22.
@EmpirePersia2500 Iran was also the only export customer of the F-14. I’m amazed how they managed to keep these beauties flying without the benefit of US engineering for so long. It’s a shame that a lot of these are going to be lost forever, I wish I could steal one and keep it, just to preserve it for the future generations. I wonder how they dealt with the compressor stalls when it entered a high angle of attack. After all, that’s part of the reason why Goose died.
@EmpirePersia2500 Can’t stop arguing about war even on a kid-friendly site… you’ve got the fog of war so far down your throat you’re practically bloated.
@WritersCrusadersAirCo I literally just modified it so you can actually fly it
+1Could you make a version with a full face mask? I have trouble breathing through my nose.
Mark this with tags so more people see it, this is amazing!
@Uisnenonokankit it’s purpose might be an Optionally Piloted Vehicle (OPV)
Release him…
Sight was overrated anyway…
What in the WH40K
@jansen574 Thanks!
Looks like something out of Highfleet
You mind if I modify this a little and make it as part of a series of planes in my alternate universe? I’ll credit you for it by the way :)
Literally a fiat with a Benelli on it. Funniest thing I’ve seen today so far.
You can’t say the n-word on here, you silly goose!

This is awesome! Keep up the good work!

@Rjenteissussy more like F-16+F-20
@zamisauce it’s kind of an F-20 nose married to the rest of an F-16.

Tutel!
The killdozer’s war vet grandpa.
@SPsidearm yes
@IAmSuperCool I think it’s pronounced faygo, like the drink
@NTH unless you like finnicking with your Android phone, no.
@LongliveChina 一些奇怪的可恶事物从这个网站的深处逃脱了。
@POPAE it was a program to develop nuclear ramjet engines for cruise missiles
@B1BLancer probably methamphetamine because most of early Cold War USAF engineers were former Nazis
My favorite underrated Russian fighter! Thanks!
I don’t know if you take requests, but could you please make the EB-52H from Flight of the Old Dog?
Mini CL-1201 go brr
@Halcyon215 this is based on a real project that was canceled before being produced
I swear I saw something that looked like this on Battlestar Galactica…
Ah yes, the AV-22BR
Never underestimate the potential of a Toyota vehicle.
@BRNavyPilot Top Gun moment
Wheels: exist
Star Wars:
@THEBASEMENTGUY anyways, how’s Gajiin treating you?
@THEBASEMENTGUY That’s exactly what I did.
Ah yes, the Calliope’s Soviet counterpart.
This might kill my phone

Looks like a cross between the CH-47 and the V-22. Nice!
Remember to pray to the snail today
Commenting to save this
This was from the kicking fish?!

Instead of the toilet bomb, we get the toilet bomber. 👍
@Rb2h besides, what was I gonna do, make a Michael Myers themed plane?
