Wow, those pics were truly breathtaking, especially liked the 5th from the top, looks like they got a sonicboom capped.

I read the title and thought it was going to be members photo's. :(. I always find that more impressive than untouchable professionals works.

Still very nice photographs though. Some in that list didn't look all that great on what very little technical knowledge I have, but I guess the crazy hard to photograph subject matter in them makes up for it.

Sweet pics though.

Heehee, I love the guppy (in the first link). It's just such an odd looking plane. :P

Does anyone know what's going on with the drifting aircraft carrier in the second link?

Some wicked cool Cold War -era Soviet inventions.

Sorry, it's in Russian (or some form of Russian)

^_o What in the name of the great flying spaghetti monster is that thing???


..upon further research, it appears that it is the MD-160 Lun-class ekranoplan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lun-class_ekranoplan). Even more interesting, this apparently was the only one ever made, so this is a truly unique plane (in keeping with this site :D ).
