@BlickyIan @EscadronsChasse @JMESPARCIA @UKNikon @CcibChris @Budge135 Keep telling us your stories Ian, never enough !

I often get asked what was my favourite jet to fly - def not the B787 ..:) - The M2000C was perhaps the most fun - or capable - The Lightning was 100% the most exciting but the Mirage 2000 was and is perfection - @EscadronsChasse @JMESPARCIA @UKNikon @CcibChris @Budge135

@BlickyIan @EscadronsChasse @JMESPARCIA @UKNikon @CcibChris @Budge135 Never got close to being a fighter pilot. Having said that, the Mirage 2000 was an absolute gold medal unicorn moment for me, such a beautiful aircraft. I wish i could have seen one up close.

@Globalsurv remember ukraine when you post armored vehicles as some show of strength.

BREAKING; US will not need troops in TAIWAN to counter CHINESE attack- Ex Pentagon chief Former US Defense Department official Tony Hu (胡振東) said that if China were to invade, US forces would not land in Taiwan but would defend it from surrounding areas. US assistance does not require landing on Taiwan, Hu said, as the country has sufficient resources to defend itself with layered defenses in the air and on land. Bringing US forces ashore would force Taiwan to fight while also coordinating with American personnel.

@hw97karbine The pilot after shutting down back at the airfield, probably.

German train detonates under the guns of 405th Fighter Squadron pilot Lt Emmett Egan's P-47 Thunderbolt on April 9th 1945. Egan survived the incident and lived until 2003.

@seriouseats soba, usually with a satay dipping sauce, then watermelon slices.

What do you eat when it's ridiculously hot out?

@hw97karbine wasnt this the type that was sent to intercept an errant aircraft, fired everything at it, to end up raining spent rockets around a town somewhere in the US whilst the target flew on unscathed?

Lockheed F-94C Starfire armed with 48 Folding Fin Aircraft Rockets, 12 each in two mid-wing pods and 24 in the nose. The latter blinded the crew on firing and could cause the engine to flame out and were therefore usually omitted.

@WarThunder i was stuck on the runway at takeoff in my Meteor, about 4 of us revved up but went nowhere, had to J out. But huzzzah for camou.

We've added 40 new user-created camouflages with the Leviathans Trophy. Check them out! - 17 for ground vehicles - 16 for aircraft - 5 for naval vessels - 2 for helicopters 👉 wt.link/Leviathans_tro…

The violent mob assaults on ICE and Federal Law Enforcement are designed to prevent the removal of Criminal Illegal Aliens from our soil; a dangerous invasion facilitated by criminal cartels (aka Foreign Terrorist Organizations) and a huge NATIONAL SECURITY RISK. Under President Trump, violence & destruction against federal agents & federal facilities will NOT be tolerated. It’s COMMON SENSE. The @DeptofDefense is mobilizing the National Guard IMMEDIATELY to support federal law enforcement in Los Angeles. And, if violence continues, active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton will also be mobilized — they are on high alert.

@RealAirPower1 The problem is, all we hear about are ukraines victories, never the losses.... if we trusted the media, ukraine should have won two years ago. Whats ACTUALLY happening.

#Breaking: A flurry of reports suggest that a Ukrainian F-16AM shot down a Russian Su-35 with an AMRAAM this morning. If confirmed, it would mark the first air-to-air kill by a Ukrainian Viper. More significantly, it would mean that Russia’s top-tier Flanker was brought down by an ex-Dutch F-16AM, a variant many had considered past its prime.

@CcibChris And to think that milkman Sean Connery became James Bond instead.

Me 1970! In front of Hunter FGA9 of 208 Sqn at RAF Muharraq. 18 months based in Bahrain and Sharjah got me 400 hours on type.

@elonmusk many western men see little reason to father a child or risk financial ruin from marriage anymore due to the value of such being greatly against them, whilst 3rd world countries swarmed by illiterates little better than animals in behaviour and attitude have no such concerns.

This is the end of humanity if not reversed

@timdavies_uk these fucken idiots still dont know why they were voted out.

I think we all know this isn't true, lol.

@timdavies_uk the left hates any idea of a national identity.

All I see is an Englishman and a foreigner. Am I wrong?

@CcibChris based on the attrition shown in the ukraine conflict, these are best flown around at airshows and photographed on the flight line.

Possibly Bavarian Tiger?

@pilotphotog AI uncanny valley.

Anyone else a fan of the F-5? #Aggressors

@timdavies_uk The big one for me was when parliament totally shut down rape gang enquiries. The UK is lost, I cant see how it will come back from what its been turned into.

The rest of the world must be asking what on earth this country has become ffs

@realaleupnorth how was this allowed to happen, why????

The Hole in the Wall, Torquay,one of Britain's oldest pubs, officially closed last Sunday, after almost 500 years!😔Ever increasing running costs & changing consumers social habits were blamed. The historic Devon pub first opened its doors in 1540. Sad times. 😔

@jk_rowling im still at a loss to understand how this glaringly obvious stupidity grew into the ignorance of basic fact and wilful delusion that it is.

In case it wasn't clear: don't fuck with Scottish women 💜🤍💚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@hw97karbine In the absence of orders, go find something and kill it.
