Coolest looking airplane shark's grin I've ever seen, the Adios Airlines from the Coburn movie "High Risk", movie sucks though

funding ran out for this ground effects cruise missle carrying seaplane

this aircraft used the ground effect – extra lift of large wings when close to the waters surface, a maximum of three meters above the sea but at the same time could provide take off, stable “flight” and safe “landing” in conditions of up to 5-meter waves. These were originally developed by the Soviet Union as high-speed military transports, and were based mostly on the shores of the Caspian Sea and Black Sea.

Cool airplanes interest almost everyone.

I wasn't sure what the aircraft on the ground was (above it you see the B52 that it used for piggy back rides to test altitude) , but 3 readers used the comment feature to let me know it was the Northrop HL 10, used to do flight research on aircraft design for unpowered reentry from space, utilizing the speed of falling to create lift for the controlled flight of the spacecraft. More interesting than the facts of it's intended R&D use, is that it was the featured spacecraft the Million Dollar Man tv show appeared to use as the crash vehicle that made it necesary to create the bionic man. Just a fun tidbit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_HL-10

Bombers, love them, love the look, the stories, the awesome amount of turret guns

Old fashioned fuel tankers from the 50's or so... when they had good looking designs

The fairing from the cab that goes to the back of the rear tires is good for aerodynamics, and good for a couple more miles per gallon, but really makes a semi look good


This photographer was taken with this tanker... why else would he take photos of the front and back?





Looks like a Crosely

when you have a "Don't mess with me" 30mm Gatling, that is something to smile about

a damn good warplane, the A-10 Thunderbolt nicknamed a "Warthog"
