dupersaurus posted:I was giving the plane the benefit of the perspective doubt until the camera could see the runway Yeah they appear to be descending there still. If you’re going to give a benefit of the doubt I’m curious about the weather here. There appears to be a lot of wind, I wonder if that was a downburst or something. Not that that’s really a benefit of the doubt too much.

Hey, I have a friend who is flying all the routes from The Amazing Race in MS Flight Simulator, and he needs to answer questions like "What planes did South African Airlines fly from JFK to Johannesburg in 2001?". I figure, if this thread can't drop any links for that problem, the resources don't exist.

Wikipedia usually has a lot of historical fleet information on airlines and routes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_African_Airways#Historical_fleet You can also look for pictures on airliners.net: https://www.airliners.net/search?ai...&display=detail Looking at that, there are only 747-444 / 344s at JFK in the early 2000s in the photo database. My other guess for SAA widebodies at JFK would be a A340/A330, but doesn't look like there were any photographed.

Have a big imgur of military aircraft photos. Just scrolling through it, he's really fond of full loadout photos. Here's Canada with the 80s startfighters:

Low level snake-eye delivery from a loving F-104 is one of the most Cold War things imaginable.

After he works out how to save Colin & Christie's 11th leg is he going to go back in time to help them?

Jeez all that care in laying everything out, including the V shape of the ammo belts perfectly centered on the pavement joint, but the nose has to be 2 inches off.

I am assuming the RCAF judged AAMs too precious and delicate to gently caress about with in a loadout pic because they only got x and will only ever get x so FOR GOD’S SAKE DON’T BREAK ANY MORE after Cpl Gord dropped a couple AIM-9s.

OK, boys, can I just say "don't kinkshame:" Notes Can we get some more Russians in the house, the Tu-160 must be epic Good god, the Crusader is tiny. A Sparrow looks like a Harpoon I'm guessing the yellow and black munitions are dummies? Speaking of tiny, the A-4 is one of several aircraft here basically solid munition on the underside          Air
