Because it is made by the russian :D

I was looking for another routine (that i saw at nn aeronautic exhibition), but this one is good too.

 

I found it - done by another plane

Is that the Cobra manoeuvre?

 

Didn't recognise the first gif, half cobra, half barrell roll, half something my niece would do. :D

[Guest winner110]

no barrel roll there just awesomenes

[Guest winner110]

loved military aircraft my whole life

have a few favourites but this is without a doubt one of the most amazing aircraft ever built

 

well it WAS an amazing airplane but not anymore. the reason is because on one of the test flights a fighter pilot got to close and collided with it.  I'am pretty sure it killed the crew of the xb-70 but the fighter pilot lived.

the jury is out on what causes the howling noise

some say its air rushing into the two stage supercharger

still a spine tingling noise though

My favorite military fighter. It's long in tooth but it still flies today. It's fast and simple to maintain.

AvGeek, yep that's me.

I use x-plane when I've got time.  Spent many months doing graphics and improving others work.

Great sim, but its forum is toxic.

 

Faves:

 

MD-500

Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 (top)

Bombardier Challenger 300 (middle)

MBB BK-117 (bottom)

 

 

 

Nice Flight sim

[winner110 2]

i have Flight Simulater X acceleration and it is greta even though its like ten years old.

some of my favorite plane are the DHC6, P-51, C208b, F-4u corsair, and F-6f hellcat (that is not a bad word)

 

 

Also there is a website called Flightaware with live flight tracking and live airport status  .https://flightaware.com/

I know a flight simulator called GEOFS and it is free, no need to download anything (But you can get an extension for chrome that gives you more planes). and the best thing about it is that it has global and multiplayer.

That game is very fun actually. It's more of a casual game

Hey I play geofs all the time It's the best browser flight simulator that exists. It has a great selection of planes and best of all global!! The only thing that bugs me is that the hd scenery used to be free, now you have to pay for it . But still it is only 9.99 euro per year, which doesn't seem to much.

It's on my bucket list to one day see this thing in person:

 

 

An-225 Mriya, largest cargo plane in the world, only one was ever built (in the 80s) and it's still flying.

I actually saw this plane on 26th june 2013 when it flew over to manchester . I was at school and it was lunchtime. My dad also saw it to when he was at work.

i want to be an astronaut but i too have bad eyesight. Oh why? WHY? Whyyyyy. although my eyesight is a result of eye problems, i hope by the time i come to the age of job, my eyesight gets back to normal. Man and there are people out there who are dedicated to ruining their eyesight because they think glasses look cool while people like us spend our life trying to get these things out of our lives.

Also to stay with the topic

I saw this for the first time a couple years ago and was completely blown away (no pun intended ) by how dumb these guys could be to stand on a runway with an aircraft headed towards them.
