Here's a few
aviation pics I found interesting:
This is the Army's new
recon helicopter, the
ARH-70A, that will replace the old OH-58 Kiowa Warriors. Notice the optics are mounted under the chin instead of on a mast above the rotors. I've heard this machine is having a lot of
teething problems converting it from a civilian design to military uses. So much for saving money…
Here's a great shot of a World War 2 era P-38
Lightning and the new F-35 Lightning II side by side. I don't think the Lightning is that great of a name, but both planes are great in and of themselves.
And here's a new photo of the lastest version of the F-35, the first production model of the
STOVL version of the plane. It can take off and land vertically like a Harrier and will be the primary version that the British will purchase.
