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.
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
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...
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...
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.
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
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
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?)
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
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?
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.
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.

basing this off the color- most IDV's are camouflaged
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?
theres nothing better than the real thing.

which makes this an awesome catch!
but man the leading edges on that plane, could supposedly cut you if you ran your finger along it.
razor sharp.
mig 21's have short triangular wings, and a blunt nose with an intake nose cone inserted in it
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!

its a copy of the varyag. no doubt in my mind
ive got a funky feeling that this is a flight simulator
