    I just had a look on YouTube for amaizing planes and came across this. A Su 37 or something ...it does handbrake turns and shit.

    Just looks like a plane to me. I dont get why it needs to be able to do all that shit. All they'll use it for is flying over stuff and firing missles, probably.

    Su-37 Super Flanker... it's actually insane.

    That plane was since stripped back to standard form and then crashed. Pilot ejected safely.

    Turlough... go clean yourself. Dirty bastard.

    I know fuck all about planes, but I must say the physics of that thing impress me.

    *orgasms*

    I nearly crashed my car on the way back to my mum's by dribbling over some training jets that were buzzing around Leeming, instead of watching the car in front of me suddenly braking :o

    Sunderland airshow on Saturday :hyper: (on standby on Sunday, otherwise I would have gone both days :( )

    What were they? We still using Hawks?

    Are you going to the airshow?! PICTURES! REQUIRED! (Is our lone Eurofighter going to be present?). Omg. Have fun.

    It's not just a plane. This is a MiG plane. (You could actually say M&G, seeing as it is Mikoyan Il Gurevich, Il being "And").

    That'd be so much better than the M&S adverts.

    Must be the Hawks.
    Coz the other plane in Leeming is a Tornado and you'd know if they went past!!

    It's not just a plane.
    It's a fighter plane.
    It's a Russian fighter plane.
    It's a Russian fighter plane with 3D thrust-vectoring engines.
    Ir's a Russian fighter plane with 3D thrust-vectoring engines and fly-by-wire airframe.
    It's a beast!

    Actually, it contains naughty words and is defamatory towards female sex organs. Even post of the week is being censored these days.

    Naff all is stationed at Leeming anymore! The F3's are gone... so god knows what it is if it isn't a Hawk!

    Well, being the RAF it could be anything. :p

    Note to Mig Pilot again: F3's left Leeming. Govt. moved them. Should all be gone by now as it happened last year.

    Is that a Mig 29 then? Or something newer? I have fallen behind on my planes.

    It is the MiG-29 OVT, with 3D thrust vectoring, making it super manouverable.

    It is quite awesome.

    No no no no. You're all wrong. Planes are cool when you're a teenager. What you want are road missiles - something you have a chance of having a go with. :)

    I saw one of these a couple of weeks back - the most gorgeous motorcycle ever, without exception. Well, to a VFR fanboy anyway :). I toyed with the idea of buying a second FL and stripping it, making my own replica fairing, and having a usable RC30 replica.

    ETA - attachments are broken? No, my browser was crashing...

    Barring the first sentence, I have no idea what this means.

    Those bikes are still slow compaed to the planes.

    And alot less manouverable. Let's see that bike pull a cobra... let's see it stop in midair.

    Anyway. You are still wrong. What is cool when you are a teenager are these:

    The oldest playground argument: Testarossa -vs- Countach

    Countach every time.

    Nooo! The Countach looked awful in its final guise. All those added wings and nasty tacky arches. And the Testarossa - have you ever seen one in real life? It's damned huge, and looks rather stretched.

    The mid-90's Diablo was a much better looking animal - though, as is the tradition with Lamborghini, they tend to look a bit ghastly toward the end of the production run. And, as with all Lamborghinis, it sounds a shedload better than a Ferrari.

    This is the SE30 model - bloody gorgeous!

    Someone mention me?

    I took this photo of a German Tornado at Leuchars airshow a few years ago. (sorry about all the people in the way!) No-one beats the Germans when it comes to art on a plane.
