@lockheed-martini They gave it that designation to get fighter pilots interested in flying it (And it worked). The plane, although a bomber, handled like a fighter as well

@julietteandthejet You have to learn to ignore or antagonize people who can't take a joke.
Godly, isn't it?

F-15s are deadly machines. I wouldn’t doubt their capabilities 😉
Who wins in a dogfight? Huey or F-16?
At first I thought this was a silly question because nothing can beat my F-16 at a dog fight (even if the F-15 claims to have done so #liar). But then I did some research (yes,I’m a nerd) and found that back in 1978 the Army and USAF conducted a study called J- Catch. They tested helicopters against the capabilities of fighter jets. “To the surprise of many involved in the program, the helicopters proved extremely dangerous to the fighters when they were properly employed, racking up a 5-to-1 kill ratio over the fighters when fighting at close ranges with guns”So while the idea of seeing an F-16 and a Huey in a dogfight seems preposterous, it’s actually a pretty interesting thought. Thank you for this question because I had fun learning something new :)
Vaping is for F-35s

It’s because you’re tumblr famous among us aviation folk
What am I doing wrong on Tumblr? In the past week I’ve had FIFTY EIGHT new followers but 51 of them are porn blogs.. and not even GOOD porn..weird “buy my porn” porn.. I want aviation & military war history friends not “hot naked ladies over 60 in your area” friends :/
Dash needs more perfection on it
F-35, no matter how “badass” it may be, will always be the one jet I will never like. Jets like the F4, F-14, F-15, F-16 and SR-71 are what makes the world go round.
F-22 is ok I guess, too. Should’ve made the F-14 concept instead
From a F/A-18F guy (and some to be echo, I'm currently doing some bull Shit work for MH-53's, god helos are confusing) the 35 is pure garbage
I WAS going to call this my favorite ask of all time but then I noticed you said fighter jets are female so I must refrain ;)
