Anyone have photos of BEARs actually bombing?? I’ve seen the BUFF doing low-level, high-altitude and ALCMs but never seen anything of the BEARs dropping more than a KERRY (i think)

ohhh, now I get it… those are in response to “glhcarl’s” other interesting designations… it took me a while to figure out – brain not functioning properly tonight… mmm, friday

Anyway… Fury, Skyray, and Tiger all saw series production and fleet service.

It was especially nice to see the ‘Hanoi Taxi’ in her original MAC colours going to the AF museum.

can’t quite tell if its a live test that Aero was doing or a dummy – still looks good sitting in the grass with the tow bar on it.

what is going on with the world??? ugly as sin.

Another case of design by committee, or some paper pusher’s secretary felt artistic.

Why not keep national roundels and slap an EU flag on the tail… OR, what happened to the EU military force… oh, wait, its called NATO… silly me… use that and slap your own flag on the tail… oh well the bureaucrats will decide..

I’m still shaking my head… and I don’t even have to see it that often!

What ever happened to the Boeing Skyfox? I thought it was a pretty decent looking job at the time. Then there’s the Canadair CL-84 Dynavert – purely experimental – but didn’t the technology go further with the Hiller/Ryan/etc. XC-142?

Grumman XF10F Jaguar… variable geometry, all flying tail… 1952
112 ordered, cancelled in 1953, only 1 built and flown. Somewhere in this dungeon I’ve got more pics and info from the old Wings or Airpower article from back in the 70s

I’ll accept that!… maybe it was just me, but when I first saw the pics of Thrust SSC, the one thought that kept going through my mind was… ‘Wow, looks like a chunk of Buccaneer…’

How about Canadian ‘104s … 421, 417, 439 and 441 Sqn.
Its too bad they never painted the one that flew with the Golden Centennaires in 1967… drawings were done. I’ve only seen one painting of how it might have looked.
