I don't see pictures of NASA stuff in the first post.

FenwickHockey65 01-22-2013 09:57 AM

Working on it. :p

FenwickHockey65 01-22-2013 09:59 AM

Oh lord that didn't resize.

guiLT 01-22-2013 10:00 AM

Home sweet home.

I hope you realize everyone with slow Internet connection is gonna hate you from now on.

FenwickHockey65 01-22-2013 10:00 AM

Haha I fixed it.

guiLT 01-22-2013 10:04 AM

Now it feels so empty.

Thank god we didn't have this forum during T&R because all those pictures I uploaded during that time were huge.

Ill totally do it with a C7. Maybe I could get the Florida club out there for a photoshoot.

FenwickHockey65 01-22-2013 10:40 AM

Do astronauts still get Corvettes?

Wonder who will get the first C7.

Look at that T-38 on side.

Well if I get to Florida with the Vette that picture is definitely happening.

Are those Talon T-38s armed? Just wondering since they also accompany the Space Shuttle during landings.

Not to my knowledge, I've never heard of one armed, and they're owned by NASA usually, not the USAF. It's based off the F-5, the T-38 is only used in training as a supersonic trainer (the first one actually). If there were an emergency the Air National Guard would have to be called.

And trust me those things are loud, especially in 4-ship formation.

GaBoy25 01-22-2013 03:48 PM

I though I once seen t38s at either robins or dobbins afb?

Anyone pilots here?

ec1990 01-22-2013 04:07 PM

I know a little, I don't think there's any based there, but could be flying around doing training.

So I take it you are lol.

This was years ago while in CAP. They helped me get my students pilots license and my gliders license at pine mountain ga at the ripe age of 15 after completing my solo flight.

Awesome program

Ps we also toured Lockheed when the f22 was classified. I remember seeing the very tops of the vertical stabilizers in awe. I irrc it was still black; not yet grey.

Nice, I had a friend who interned there when they were building the 22 there. It's going to be years before anyone including me ever understands what that aircraft has and the capabilities of it.

How similar is that to the jsf?

They're actually almost completely different, I don't know if technologies were shared, but the F-22 is built around being an air-to-air asset whereas the F-35 is more air-to-ground. Air superiority as to an air support operation.

Ahh.. The F-22. What a beautiful aircraft.

Camaro_Corvette 01-22-2013 05:59 PM

Ah the F-22. I have dreams about that jet:D

Some technology is shared, but the F-35 packs nowhere near the technological prowess the F-22 has.

guiLT 01-22-2013 07:36 PM

It's a shame the F-22 is no longer in production.

FenwickHockey65 01-22-2013 07:38 PM

Agreed. But I can almost hear Pentagon officials still *****ing about the cost of that program.

They got to figure out what is wrong first before they can continue to build more. From what I understand there was way too many problems with oxygen system.

Agreed, but it's understandable, because in reality who do we have to worry about in regards to Air Superiority, the only countries really are Russia, due to pilot expertise, not for aircraft design, and China who has questionable pilots to say the least. Granted this is today and in 5-10 years this could all change and we could draw the short end of the stick.

There's almost too much new stuff on the plane, similar to the SR-71, it was so ahead of it's time. I mean the only reason it never went faster was due to the tolerance of the wings, the heat was so great the performance had to be decreased. Then again, it bled oil like a stuck pig due to the seals having to be built with expansion of airframe at speed, and burnt so much fuel taking off it had to be refueled immediately after takeoff.

Whoops, apparently they figured that out. Ignore that.

China had to use a clip from Top Gun to advertise their new fighter jets. I don't think they're much of a problem right now. :lol:
