Re: Formula 1 bans military flypasts

I don't get it, it's just a fly-past. Not full display of whole Team. It was always a nice moment during the National Anthem to see something in the air. Like in US - every NASCAR/Indy Race during US Anthem (usually precisely in last seconds of it) - there is always a fly-past represented by local/c...

Topic of the week #1 - Tomcats

As 48h Photo comp is no longer live - let's have weekly themed topic. The creator will pick next one after 7 days from photos submitted below. F-14 Tomcat is in first place on my "yet to see live" planes list followed closely by XB-70 and SR-71. As I don't have any photos of the 'Cat - ple...

As Tuckat mentioned - there always been several entries, quite often from non-regular users (usualy very interesting ones). I could start new series (Than...

I’d personally like for it to continue.

Re: 48hr Photo Comp: A-10

Y'know what, I have never really noticed how off centre the nose wheel is - is that simply to counter balance the off centre gun?
