Hehehe Yeah I remember that. Underground hero.
I have a story about that person/s
Let me think about how to not incriminate myself first
Ghost Riders in the sky… yep that fits.
Final flight of the KC10 today
What is its replacement?
Wheels
KC46
Of the Dutch vipers today too.
amazing
Indeed!
That is so good… I love that they made a mockup* F-16 just for the show
Edit: I used the word “prop” as in stage prop, but that might have been confusing
I suspect a large part of that prop is actual viper…
Military bands are the true heroes… They make the rest of us look good
Edit: I just realised that could probably be taken two ways? I totally meant that
I assumed it was ALL actual Viper. Why go through the expense of crafting when you’ve got a bunch in the hangar that will go to pasture anyway?
The tail isn’t right, the Viper tail doesn’t fold that way (though I understand some customers do have a folding tail) and the parachute/electronics housing down the bottom of the tail looks weird.
The nose looks weird to me too. And the wing box is faired off, which might be just for the show?
It could be a real jet hulk with a few parts set up just for the show? The inlet and landing gear look super real?
Beautiful! Those were real pilots back then. Funny, I’ve never noticed before how at some angles it looks like a giant MiG-15.
I instantly got offended then actually realised…it really does doesnt it! How cool!
