Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII

[Model-Junkie]

I lived in the UK when I was younger, I was about 13 or 14 when I was at RAF Cosford but I was more focused on the air show at the time than the static displays, I don't even recall viewing the TSR.2.  I need to make a trip there when I go back to the UK, it's only 45 mins away from my parent's place.

I visited the National Museum of the USAF in Dayton Ohio in September, a phenomenal place.  Really happy I was able to see the YF-23 in person.

Thanks for the great pic, like the TSR-2 itself, the YF-23 still looks like its from an alternate timeline... I've never made it to Cosford, though I have been to Duxford though not for some years. I keep meaning to make a return trip but its sort of the wrong side of London to make it straightforward getting there from where I am.

Wait, top right hand-corner - is that either the X-29 or James Bonds little jet from "Octopussy"...?!

X-29. The BeeDee is at Pima Air & Space Museum.

That is indeed one of the X-29A's peeking in my shot, I like how they suspended the aircraft from the ceiling and you're able to walk under it, though my photo makes it seem closer than it really was.

You know you’ve perhaps a bit too far down the aviation fan route when you can recognise an aircraft from a bit of colour on its nose…! 😅
