We had a B-2 flyover for graduation day at OTS. Didn't even hear it coming until it was overhead :fap:

JSTARS (lol) did a flyover for some game or whatever a while back in Georgia. I guess the bird was supposed to fly over exactly at the end of the national anthem but they screwed up and arrived substantially late and it was all awkward.

Getting an ISR asset for a flyover is the equivalent of getting one of those lovely Tiger handheld games instead of a Gameboy for Christmas.

Not just once.

One manned torpedo attack, one midget submarine attack, and more air raids than you can shake a stick at, including the last couple (which finally did her in), which consisted of a bunch of Lancasters all carrying huge gently caress-off Tallboy bombs.

Wait sorry I was thinking on the St. Nazaire Raide, which is goddamn insanity.

What a dumb thing to do. Build a massive loving ship and then just hide it because you're afraid to actually use it.

The British were so loving keyed up on destroying the goddamn ship that they were on the offensive for it from day one. Had the Germans let the Tirpitz out in the wild, it would've been sunk rather quickly.

What is going on here I don't speak plane

What KFFF said. Supposedly this friendly scrimmage between some hot shot Tomcat pilot and the new Eagle was a demonstration of how awesome the F-15 was. Turns out the Tomcat pilot didn't like being used as an easy kill and loving smoked the F-15 pilot with the gun kill. Apparently the demo was enough to give the Japanese some concern whether or not to buy into the Eagle.
