Whats yours?

F-14D Tomcat:


NAVY of the VF-2 Bounty Hunters

Eurofighter Typhoon F.2



And I know this image is a P.O.S., but just to show you how much power they have, I couldn't keep up with it! Oh, and, yes, I know it's actually a T.1 if you want to go that far :D

Grumman F-14D Super Tomcat all the way



@Chris- ROFL, power?? please.....

Yeah but that was done using delayed exposure, my shot was real

Delayed exposure? No. That shot is real bro




Beat that Eurofighter!

Vapor condensation :D

Not an indication of speed, but of humidity

erm...it is going supersonic...or is in.

"interesting condensation clouds
that form around jets as they fly
at or near the speed of sound,
(often called "going through the sound barrier" or "accelerating past the speed of sound").
Under the right conditions, and even at lower speeds, they sometimes
cause a vapor cone effect.!

Not always an indication of Mach 1+

No offense but how stupid are you? That is exceeding Mach 1. It is the air cloud around the thing. Humid and vapor condensation?? LOL, go back to second grade. Sorry!

See my other post. And having been around fast jets since the age of 3 (im not 16) I know what I'm on about, and I can have any number of friends from http://www.airliners.net and http://www.ukar.co.uk confirm this.

One thing I will not tolerate is insults, either towards me, or at others.

I work on military aircraft...I know what I am talking about. That cloud that forms around the jet is the sound barrier, the vapor condensation you are talking about is when you see 2 white streaks and cloud that form off the ends of the wings when a jet does a pull. Those white streaks and cloud are the air molecules melting off the end of the wings and jet. Say you were in an F-15 and pulled 2-7+ G's.....you would see the air flowing over the wings begin to show and melt because the air is traveling soo fast and the strength of the pull the aircraft is doing.

Examples.




A complete circle around the jet is the plane passing the sound barrier. The cloud effect over the backside of the jet is air melting causing a cloud that way.

That's a good website Chris :geek: I found a few of my old favourite planes. This is one The Vulcan B2. :geek:

They retired one of them to Coventry Air museum not far from where I used to live.

My other favourites are The Red Arrows, Hawks. The Spitfire, Huricaine and Lancaster. Not bad for a girl aye.:thumbs:

spit, hurri, and lanc are in my game

So the Red Arrows, Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and Vulcan Preservation Trust...souns like an airshow coming on!


Anyone got loads of money to pay for the fuel?


And no, not bad for a girl. XH588 is flying at some point in August by the way (they hope)

Where's that then Chris.:geek:

Well the aircraft is at Brintingthorpe, so I assume it is there

I was in a "squad" in our game , the VF-2 Bounty Hunters..they fly/flew F-14 Tomcats

That means you need to get some F/A-18E's now then!

Tomcats Forever!

sorry lads but, our Red Arrows are the best display team in the world

Isn't that squadron patch VFA-2?

I prefer VFA-31


And the Frecce Tricolori:

i dunno, all i know is we got upclose & personal with them, my uncle did a parachute jump with Jim Davidson for charity as well,
it was awesome, so was the red arrows

The Red Arrows are the best, I agree with Max.

When my son was young I designed and hand knitted him a jumper with the Red Arrows on the front. It was dead good if I do say so myself.

yes, the VF-2 $$Bounty Hunters$$

ahh...the Tomcatters...our partner squad

"Felix Rules!"

VFA-122 for me! http://www.lemoore.navy.mil/vfa-122/

Who the hell came up with the nickname Rhino for the F/A-18E/F's????

They need to be shot!
