The BD-5 in question is actually a BD-5j , one of a hand full (6 if my memory serves me ) jet powered BD-5s made. AT one point it was in the guinness book of records as the worlds smallest Jet plane

The F-4 Phantom

The horizontial tails droops down , the wings point up and and that big swollen nose , a great plane just not very pertty

I loved the movie and the fact that almost everything aside from the actual characters(Angelina Jolie !!) was done in computer graghics just blows me away

I was at Reno a few years Back in the “Rare Bear” hanger(all metal) when a F14 did a full power take off just out side . Lets just say its a sound you don’t forget EVER!

I’ve always wondered how loud is a Russian Tu-95 with all of those propeller blades out there spinning around ?

heres three I always have had a soft spot for

I use 2 different printers

I have HP1350xi all in one printer which has a built in card reader for doing pictures . Nice for printing off “thumbnails” for sorting out what I have . Cost me about $100 at the local COSTCO warehouse .

Also have an early model HP Photosmart 130 I use as a portable printer . It goes with me on trips so I can print shots for friends on the spot again about $100 .

I prefer to store pictures on disc so the print cost(ink,paper, etc) does not bother me as much

Only one possible

It was called Sunami A race ready Merlin with the smallest possible body wrapped around it

you can’t forget The Lockeed “Skunk Works”

By far the 2 most beautiful planes in the world IMHO:

The worlds fastest single engine jet fighter
The F-104 Starfighter
And the worlds fastest air breathing vehicle
The SR-71 Blackbird
