It looks weird.... like dirty duck.

Maybe a RAM coating like Have Glass on F-16?

Yeah. That's what it is. :D Every smudge on a Russian jet has significance.

ouch it hurts

 

 

 

mi 26 on the background?

I remember this old chap! He is the only one in Great Britain who flew on Mig 29A.

They are still having lots of problems with it. The propulsion and the catapult systems.

 

EDIT: in the article they forgot the japanese recently built their own vessel as well. I dont know why they mention the british helicopter carrier and not the japanese one which is bigger.

The Japanese are currently building their first helicopter carrier of the new class (2 planned), which will be longer than the British Invincible class aircraft carriers and will weight almost as much. There are some opinions stated that it is so big that can be restructured to be able to carry fighter jets.

 

Here an image (not a real photo) showing how big it is compared to the currently in service Hyuga class helicopter carrier:

Ok, I can't even determine the color of those Su-34s it even looks a little purplish to me. Isn't there a better quality photo? BTW the bottom is still blue.

Flight test of another F-16 M5 operational. Tail Number 15115. Only 9 left to modify.

For ages I'd been wondering how they do that. Thanks for posting!

 

There is a portion of the video that shows the F-22 mounted on pedestals for testing. I learned today that this is how they check the RCS of the aircraft, and they test each aircraft before it ships. Not a single one has failed in the last 100 ships.

A tour in a F/A-18...

 

Found this on Youtube... Watch this in HD. Notice how fast the canopy is dry! Notice too the second 'aggressor' style Navy F/A-18.
