His point is to post pro-American stuff so he can draw out the haters and flame them repeatedly. :)

I have never flamed anyone......let alone repeatedly.

I wonder if they could "modify" the SR71 to leave the atmosphere and enter orbit.
It can fly high enough.. but not fast enough (i think).
Hmmm...
-
The B2 dosn't look manuverable much, but, it is..
Pretty planes..
-
The SR-71 would have to be able to fly at 11 km/s to achieve escape velocity. About 24,750 mph.

The only surviving example of the YB-70 Valkyrie resides in the USAF Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB, Dayton, Ohio. It alone is worth the trip to see! The thing is even more impressive up close and personal than in the photos. I never got tired of seeing it when I was stationed at Wright-Pat. They also have the SR-71 and F-117 on display there (might have a B-1 too...can't recall now). Great museum! We should really hold an Aces High Convention in Dayton some year. Any volunteers in the Dayton area?

CT Staff, Reserve
P.S. Nice pictures, btw.

The B-1 at WPAFB is a B-1A, the much faster, slightly less stealthy version of today's bomber.

Not with a constant thrust. If an object were to be shot out of, say, a cannon to escape earth's gravity (not to eventually fall back), THEN it would need an initial burst sending it to about 11 km/s.
-
True. But at what altitude does the SR-71 jet-engine cease to function? From that point onwards it would still need to travelling very, very quickly and I should think the energy requirement would still be significant.
-
The SR71 will never be an orbital craft like our space shuttle and who knows what else may be hidden in the Nevada desert.

Russian Quote:"and your point is?"
Well Russian, you say this as if there is something wrong with love of Country and celebration of remarkable achievement.
Nuke is do just that while saying nary a bad thing about any country/person.
Your comment has a negative connotation(don't come back with some BS about how it doesn't.. save that for the gullible)... why not keep it to yourself since Nuke is bashing no-one?
Or maybe start a thread of some of the many great things Russian science has created?

cant be a BOB memorial flight...i do beleive that they were not using hurri2c's during it...great pic tho
-
they have a number of a/c in it, its just a general name for a bunch of WWII aircraft operated by the RAF i think. because they had neither lancasters or spit IX in BOB either lol

Sounds like a good plan to me.

Boy o boy, do I see a **** load of ASSumptions here or what.
So by asking point of this thread I’m anti-american nazi loving lefty-hippy? Where did you get this information, from my user name? Here’s a clue, go **** your self. ;)

I'd like to see that scramjet thingy in action... "scooping" up the extremely sparse air at extreme altitudes and compressing it.

Bahahahah!!! Russian you over-sensitive cry baby! I knew you couldn't respond in a contructive or mature way. Is it late where you are? I bet you've already cried yourself to sleep!
Bahahahahahaha!

The first picture is of the YF-12A, a prototype interceptor. Down here at the San Diego Aerospace Museum, they have a YF-12A up on stands at the front enterance. The thing that surprised me the most when I first saw the YF-12A, was it's size. I expected it to be a lot larger than it was, it didn't look any longer than a normal city bus.

Do you think so? I always thought the Harrier was actually quite an ugly, pugnacious looking aircraft.
I think the most beautiful British (and French) built aircraft is the Concord. Sadly it will be retiring from service very soon.
