Into Aircraft? Want to say Wow?

then click this link!
El Chinero Aircraft
NWS due to gore fest a little way down. Specifically a crew chief decapitated by a BURP blade

If you can cope with that, then there is some seriously cool stuff in there, including a transonic B52!

enjoy

I really enjoyed the one with the poor sods sucked into jet engines, otherwise very informative, love the big airship/plane hybrid, if they can pull that of it would be great.

Transporting space rocket components I think - pretty sure the Russians had a similar converted plane they use to use for that.

Yeah, Airbus have been running their own transporters for donkeys - the A300-600ST being the more recent ones

Cheers for the link Astraboy: was also strangely drwan to the people injested by aircraft engines

I do have bit of a morbid fascination for these types of things

LOL your evening sorted looking at a plane site. Geeky or what. As for our so-called vulcan pilot i say no more. I used to fly the red arrows yet spend my whole day on here. Something doesn't add up i tell you.

Excellent find!

There's some interesting stuff on there, including a B52 graveyard and a story about a pilot who survived, after his SR-71 broke-up in mid air at over mach 3!!
