This is the plane for the US Army Golden Knights.
Yes, it is a Fokker 27...

FED EX dropped in an A300...
Yes, real men use YOKES!!!!!
Sorry to my wife, but I wanted to use her as a scale reference for the massive engines on this thing.

Something I never want to see flying at me in anger.

Some trainer... no idea. They had 3 of these on the ground.

LOOK OUT!!! THEY INVADED !!!!

Great Pics!
The trainer is a T-45 Goshawk. An american version of the BAe Hawk. It also lands in carriers!
I guess it's a good choice for LH flights with tech stops ;D
This is an Air Force 707 320C. If you notice, it has CFM Engines!!!
This is a command and control aircraft that communicates with the nuclear subs of the US arsenal.
The pilot told me it was built in 1991 and does use the new engines. I am still hoping Sami will let us re-engine these things one day.
The 2nd picture is a close up. This is clearly not a JT3D.

That's so funny, that's exactly what my dad flys and I was looking at my dad's open time (flights that other people drop that can be picked up for some extra hours) and saw a flight to KBKL, and I was like, it must be a glitch cause FedEx doesn't fly there. Now I know ;D.
And then the Blue Angels!!!

*not amused* >:(
in germany airshows are nearly forbidden because of the disaster in rammstein.
there was a really big usa airbase in my hometown in baden württemberg near stuttgart and they did it yearly.
they are away and there is no airshow :'(
but the airshow in TLV is a must. the 747 from el al is always the best ;D

Oh... and in my opinion the biggest threat to the stability in this world is not Canada... but it's southern neighbour.
Okay now, don't politicize this thread...
