Stipa Caproni.

Is that literally just a turboprop with wings?

Looks like a flying wind tunnel.

The Ka-52 Alligator, the deadliest and most fearsome Helicopter Gunship in Russian Service-



No... actually... yeah... that is pretty terrifying.

 

[PsihoKekec]

Whoever painted that watched way too many horror movies. I want to hire him if I'll ever have a private army.

It look like shark on drugs.Terryfing,indeed.

 

[The Whispering Monk]

Being honest...when I look at it it just says, "Dee duh dee!"

Those look like actual shark teeth as opposed to the stylized white triangle which usually gets used.

Eyes as well. In fact, the entire thing is eerily real. Can you say, "uncanny valley"?

 

[Buba]

Front wheels need pumping?

The McDonnell Douglas X-36, It looks like something straight out of a science fiction film.

Less than an hour ago a pair of F/A-18s passed overhead of me while I was taking a nap in a lawn chair.

I heard them (they woke me up) before I saw them and was wondering why a pair of Super Hornets are flying at low altitude over Indianapolis on a Saturday shortly before noon when Indy doesn't have a major event scheduled.

I looked it up.

Those were probably two of the Blue Angels and there's an airshow in Dayton, OH this weekend.

It should have been very obvious given the Blue Angels' extremely distinctive paint scheme.

I have tinittus, bad eyes, and need glasses. The F/A-18s were just fast moving dark shapes in the sky within my line of sight for only a few seconds while I was waking up from a nap.

Probably Russian Sukhois. The Invasion has begun.

The Entire Invasion of Ukraine was a FEINT.

Bintananth better pick up the Family Katana. Slice and dice those invading Paratroopers before they can get their bearings like a Cretan in 1941.
