IDVs. they have ECM pods.

pretty sure this is an Tornado ADV.

basing this off the color- most IDV's are camouflaged

apparently not camouflaged enough!

i had no idea that he lived in richmond

hey guys, its been a while! like a year or two.

haha, would i be considered a real gearhead if i could tell you that this was at Mazda Leguna Seca Raceway without even zooming out?

yeah, ill be sure to do it next time. I dont have much time to work on this. Im a full time high school student, and i was taking a quick push ahead to get in front of a few people.

alright, cool. thats what i wanted to know

okay, sarcastic remarks aside, What purpose does this very drab Luftwaffe airbus serve for the german air force, and why is it in dulles?

well yeah, i knew that i just didnt know what the aircraft is for

i think its a he 111

I think that the USAF needs to try to get their hands on some real MIGs and Sukohis for aggressor training.

theres nothing better than the real thing.

This is a Kite Boarder. The guy is going on the water, and parasails are dragged by boats. Also, the parachute is much too small.

what does the G in GF-15 mean?

yeah, i submitted one that looked like this, then it dissapeared

well, thats unfortunate

i think its a sat error. why would they put something censorable like that next to a highway?

yeah my uncle showed me a picture of it this weekend and i was like bam! scavenger hunt.

Those are definately SU-27 Flankers. the nose is too long and the wings are too far back to be a MiG-29. the demensions are completely wrong, no doubt in my mind

c-130

lolz

im sure its a kfir. the nose is very Mirage like, and I am 100% sure that the US Military has some sort of dissimilar combat training using a Kfir or two.

also if you look at the shadow, it resembles a kfir more than a gripen.

finally, the gripen are some of the top aircraft the swedes have to offer today, and if that was the case, why would they be selling them to us...

coast guard planes are painted like that, but seeing that its in arizona, i doubt it

Ive been to the top actually. im quite an avid rock climber, with this being the sweetest climb of my life. 824 ft tall. its a doosie.

or taxiway...

That is not parked, thats flying down the runway parabellum.

which makes this an awesome catch!

that is definately not a MiG-21. MiG-21s do not have a bubble canopy like this. It looks like an Su-9 to me

yeah, but those wings were just too thin to give it an effective range, thats why you usually see them with the wingtip tanks.

but man the leading edges on that plane, could supposedly cut you if you ran your finger along it.

razor sharp.

those are Su-34's. you can tell by the radome that sticks out the rear between the two engines

those are flankers (Su-27)

mig 21's have short triangular wings, and a blunt nose with an intake nose cone inserted in it

that was me

maybe its a large thing ancient aborigenies (or recent ones) built

like those pictures in the ground in south america of dogs and horses and ect...

it could also be an alien landing site! ya never know!

They are Aermacchi MB-339 trainers.

thats awesome!

thats more than i do

i had an uncle who worked on civil engineering projects there once. one time he brought me back this arabian compass that was made out of metal and was about an inch think... looks just like a landmine.

yeah, he got stopped at every single security check point...

the one to the left is an SM-2 Medium Range Ship Launched SAM

http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/missile/SM2.jpg

do you work there a lot kjfitz?

for being the worlds largest, it doesnt seem like there are many aircraft there....

great catch!!!

yeah but it isnt as dramatic as this one

is the plane below it an E-3 with out the radome?

If you look at the flight deck, there is a noticible slope upwards at the bow of the ship. no nimitz class carrier has ever had this. also, there are no "studs" sticking out of the bow, like the nimitz class.

its a copy of the varyag. no doubt in my mind

it is definately NOT an essex. essex carriers do not have an angled flight deck

there are chinese fighters on board, and i dont think thats a nimitz, our nimitz class carriers are far to advanced and expensive to sell to a rival country such as china. maybe its a forrestal class carrier

Hey mods, the predator is NOT a bomber in the least bit. it is a survelliance aircraft that is modified after it was put into production to carry two hellfire missiles. i strongly suggest creating a new category for attack aircraft

one's all painted to get blown up

there is what looks like a silo in the northwest corner of the facility. maybe a ABM site or a minuteman site

excellent find. maybe one of my favorites in all of the site. i applaud you

i think its a strike eagle. the cockpit looks kinda long

mig-23 floggers

it looks like water, pedro

i dont think they are fish. i think they are those little jets of water that you see coming out of pvc pipes at a water treatment plant

yeah im agreeing with parabellum. they dont look as put together as a net would

looks more like a missile to me

yeah its definately a MI-6

what about those hangers to the north east along the same taxiway? there are also quite a few underground bunkers to the north. they look to small to fit a b-2 but, hey its possible

They looklike Tu-22 Backfires.

oops! I forgot to login before commenting..

ch-46 sea knight, and sh-60 seahawk

BF-109?

actually, it kinda looks like an RV trailor with an f-7 cockpit tacked on the back. but thats probably not the case

i think its an f-8 crusader.

i think its the wing of an experimental flying wing.

is the C-60 a cargo version of the Lockheed Hudson bomber?

this varient is now at the udvar b hazy center at Dulles Int'l

it looks like there is a ladder that goes up to the cockpit.

ive got a funky feeling that this is a flight simulator

su27s maybe?

is anyone wondering why it is shaped like a swatzika?

this is skulling. see, this person has 2 oars. skulls are generally single or double boats.

that isnt skulling. skulling is when one person has 2 oars. these rowers have only one. the correct term for that is Rowing.

yeah your right
it looks less like a bearcat than it does a dauntless. and it has the flare of the wing on the trailing edge of the wing into the fusilage (sp?)

i love how west va and va have like nothing. richmond- no satallite imagery at all

that looks like an F8F bearcat to me

yeah the reason why they had the gull wing was because the propeller was so big that it would hit the ground, but the designers wanted to have short landing gear. pretty ingenious design

to back up my last comment:
http://www.globalaircraft.org/photos/planephotos/f4u_4.jpg

if you look at the wing, it is far to curved to be either an F6F or an F4F. and, if you look at the wings and the shadow, the wings look like a gull wing, a unique feature of the F4U. in addition to that, the cockpit looks like it is behind the wing, another tell tale feature of the Corsair. if its not a corsair, then its definately not a hellcat or a wildcat either. maybe a SBD Dauntless?

thats a F4U-1A corsair. im pretty sure of it

i definately got a concussion there on the far northern slope snowboarding. good thing i was wearing a helmet. if i wasnt, i might not be writting this.

i live near there. ive been through that many a time. many many many a time.very convienient actually

theres an a-4 in there too

sweet dude! nice catch!

yeah i know i saw that! i was thinking it was maybe a go kart track or something

hey parabellum, just fyi, this is a different map, its not reposted. this is with google maps, and it looks like its a vacant lot next to the parking lot. no need to reference. plus this one has way more information then just Joint Strike fighter Prototype? kjfitz already put the link to live local up, so its a much more put together profile as well.
