The B1R concept needs to be resurrected- just put a massive fricking radar in the nose, datalinks to F-35s painting targets, and a rotary magazine in the bomb bay filled with long range AIM-260s

This is at least the fourth time I've seen it on this site, and I think every moid in my life over the age of 40 has posted or shared it at least once. I believe this story activates something very deep in scrote psychology.

  • Wholesome homosocial bonding between the two copilots

  • Swinging their peepees around to mog the other flyboys

  • Reaping the glory of being a total badass without actually having to do much of anything (at its core, this is the thrilling tale of driving past a "Your speed is:" radar sign)

  • Reveling in patriotism and American military-industrial dominance.

  • Just a hint of wistful nostalgia: those were the good ole days, boy they don't make 'em like that any more!

Same but for me it's the F4 Phantom. Easily the most kino Cold War bird that ever existed. I mean 1950s design, over mach 2, fought real butt wars, invented SEAD, won over the air force and Navy, and is still in service. I kinda want to see us invade Iran solely so the Phantoms can get 1 last blaze of glory on the way out

!truecels Proof that even an uggo can be popular if it just has confidence and enough thrust.

All of the Arabs were bitching that they were totally outclassed by it, both in the hands of Israel and Iran.

invented SEAD

Ackshually sweaty it was the F-105 that were the first successful Wild Weasels. The F-4 is probably better known because they kept doing that job into the '90s.

Probably the most important single mission it did was the raid on H-3 where a few of them wiped out half the Iraqi in a few minutes.
