Don’t forget the black sheep of the family

Literally…

The Sukhoi Su-47 “Berkut”, which is honestly awesome as flak.

Su-30SM, Su-35s, Su-34.

London North Eastern Railway (LNER)’s Class 91 HST with retro Intercity livery

retro paint scheme is quite a thing

So this is Union Pacific’s new paint scheme and I have say…

It just makes their locomotives look older rather than newer.

Also, these are photos taken inside a CRRC factory in China, showing SEPTA and EXO’s Bilevel Coaches.

Caught something unexpected yesterday while railfanning. An Etihad Rail SD-70ACS which is here for servicing I guess (the Etihad logos have been temporarily covered). Needless to say it’s a long ways from home.

C5 Galaxy is huge.

made in Pennsylvania for services on the Plateau

Just a question…

Does anybody have any kind of WW1 picture or atleast some little information about the usage of semi-automatic rifles (Like the Farquhar-Hill, Mondragón M1908 or the Mauser Selbstlader M1916) in early war ‘fighter’ (Or more accurately; ‘Armed reconnaissance’) aircraft during the Great War? Before the appereance of synchronization gear that allowed aircraft to fire through the spinning propeller blades? I’ve read a bit that rifles like that were used to have some offensive degree against enemy aircraft, but I can’t seem to find anything corroborating that information…

China Railways NJ2 Class/GE C38ACHe

Chinese version of the American made Dash 9-44CW, but with more horsepower

I didn’t know F-14 can still fly with one wing swept back.

That’s fucking amazing.

Stadler FLIRT, known in the UK as Class 755
one generator coach in the middle, electric motors distributed on bogies. So it’s quieter, lighter and more comfortable than most bi-mode trains

Boeing 747

Here’s it’s followup, the YB-49 - the proto B-2.

Northrop YB-35. The real life Arsenal Bird from Ace Combat 7.

F-15 S/MTD ACTIVE.

When America tries to be a Sukhoi.

Lockheed L-1011

A Plane with potential, but got beaten by its competitor

Good plane, bad luck, yeah, but also a history of bravery and determination.

And it’s taken it’s first flight.
Meanwhile the air force of the turd next door is still using soviet era crap. This one carries the 60 mile range Meteor A2A missile which can swat their fighters down from inside SK airspace.

So South Korea just built their own F-22 Raptor.

It’s called KF-21 Boramae. A Gen 4.5 fighter that is not really a stealth because it has no internal weapons bay but it’s airframe does.

Philippine Air Force wants to buy this plane.

EMD SD70MACH

A very odd locomotive choice for Metra

That one time a C-130 landed on an aircraft carrier without arresting gear.

And also took off without catapult guidance.
