one thing that pisses me off about this movie is the autobots look to be gm products. they should be across the board. gm and fords.and dodges . it looks like i will be rooting for the decipticons in this movie.

this is one i found the funniest
this one came close
bah what can we learn from pics of the f22 engine exhaust? geeze that is all most a money shot for aviation enthusiast is seeing the end where the fire come out.
my first navy ship i was on was the USS Salt lake city. i was 11 and i didnt even know it was a 688 nuclear powered boat and wondered why i couldnt see the "classified engine" got to look through the periscope and sit at the controls.
years later my pop and i were talking about that day. he said that he heard a 688 boat was at white beach on okinawa (when he was stationed there) so we went to go look at it. it was raining and my dad figured the skipper saw us getting soaked and invited us onboard because my dad had my sister and i with him and that the crew was home sick and seeing kids helped them cope. as we were the only ones taking the tour that day.
if planes are anything like cars, they also get more complicated to work on do to tech advances.
for instance 1969 mustang brand new is easier to swap engines in it then a 2007 mustang. so the same for f-4s,f-14s when they were brand new vs f-18s
well a few benifits i can think of is
1 i dont know specs on how many times airlines can paint before they have to strip the metal bareagian. but every new layer has atleast ppaint ontop of old but may also have primer layer and paint
2 i saw a plane on airliners.net that had peeling paint and that adds drag.
maybe boeing has better paint.
but i am just a baker..... so what do i know.
