Stealth drawback


This thing may be stealthy, but Its a sitting duck if spotted due to no weapons and no afterburner.

Carrier ops


Anyone in the Navy knows working on a carrier is a very dangerous task as anything can go wrong, from hook lines slipping to aircraft being forced to make another approach, or just outright fall into the sea.

Aggressor Flight


When you see aircraft painted in camoflauge instead of its default color, that means that plan is part of an aggressor squadron. Featured here are desert and ocean camos.

OH GOD SOMEONE HIT SANTA!!!

Coxial Rotors



The Kamov Ka-50 Hokum is one of the first aircraft to have an unusual design in its rotor mechanics. It   has 2 sets of rotors spinning in opposite directions, giving it more lift than the apache. Now note it should not be related to the apache, as its payload is heavier and more hard hitting. Armour on this craft is alittle less than the armour on the apache but that doesnt stop its performance.

Why must this line be so long?!

Ah. Typical traffic at Atlanta's airport. That airport is possibly the busiest in the country. See all these plane's right here? The one's in the very back probably have to wait 2 HOURS to get off the ground!! I can tell already these people in the very front are happy to be next in line.
The underside of this Sukhoi Su-30 carries standard Air to Air missiles as well as what seem to be rocket pods and a couple of bombs. Either way this carrier-based aircraft's role is for air-to-ground purposes.
