Did the 'baka' types who flew these 'bombs w/wings' wear crash helmets? And, if so, what difference did it make; i.e., the whole purpose was to make as big a crash as possible!

Aviation Wallpaper simply does NOT get any better than this truly exquisite shot! Thank you so much for uploading it!

Commented on Convair YB60
This is a terrific shot of a VERY RARE aircraft!
Judging by its appearance, I have to assume that the YB-60 was Convair's attempt to 'blow away' the competition; i.e., the Boeing B-52 'Strato-Fortr... September 28, 2010
Commented on kittyhawk ap-40
The 'Kittyhawk' was the P-40 variant purchased (under Lend-Lease) by the British in WW-II. Since the aircraft in this particular image has Chinese Insignia, it's the U.S. export "Warhawk" v...

Commented on F-16XL (12 Bombs & 6 Rockets)

The BEST radial-engine fighter EVER built (and that includes a wide-range of 'heavy metal!') IMHO, Roy Grumman and his crew at the "Iron Works" got this one exactly right!
Finally, FWI... September 28, 2010
Commented on f-16
Okay, I give up ... WTF are the 'empannages' on each side of the fuselage (apparently) leading over the top of the wing back to the tail? I don't think I've ever seen anything like this on an aircraf...

Commented on North American F-107 Ultra Sabre
I don't believe the inimitable Jack Northrop had anything to do with this particular aircraft. FWIW, it was, in fact, an effort by North American Aviation to 'upgrade' the F-100 Super-Sabre and win a...

er, with a USAF insignia, wouldn't this by a P-80 'Shooting Star' rather than the 'Seastar' Navy variant? ...
