Re: AN-225 Destroyed

I think aviation enthusiasts being upset, annoyed, sad, etc about an iconic aircraft being needlessly destroyed is a perfectly valid response. It brings it home in a different way than footage from bombed cities, etc does. No one is only concerned with the fate of this aircraft. We all are aware of ...

Re: Type on Type combat

Now there's a thought. Am sure have read that RAF Spitfires engaged in combat with Israeli Spitfires, which would have been 1948-ish?

Re: Topic of the week #12: Your best day out

Great idea for the comp. Had a few to choose from but plumped for the Friday at the 1992 RAF Leuchars airshow, the arrivals and practice day. The Russian Su-27s and Su-24 were something to see, so soon after the end of the Cold War, but the real star was the RAF Phantom. Its display was the last at ...

Seeing a photo on the Twitter. It appears to have an intact windshield. I thought all F-35s had a one-piece canopy? Anyone know differently?
