Stealth



Blackbird

Blackbird

There was an air show here in a suburb of Baltimore where they were showing off the Stealth. The thing exploded in midair and the pilot had to parachute down into some redneck's back yard.

The Stealth ist CRAP

how can the blackbird be better it cannot sneak up on you undetected and bum you

I vote stealth


anybody seen that the us army now have killer robots with lasers

SR-71 Blackbird, motherfuck! Because it's the first and only model I ever put together as a kid.

'Blackbird singing in the dead of night

take these broken wings and learn to fly

all your life

you have been wating for this moment to arise'

Yup you guessed it. I voted for the Stealth. But just because I've always been partial to the word stealth. As a plane though, the blackbird is far superior. It just goes fast. Really fast. And takes pictures. So cool.

To quote Kelly McGillis

You know you're not going to be happy unless you're doing Mach 4 with your hair on fire.

She was so right.
Andale pajarito negro!!

Oh, the SR-71 for sure. The proposed model of the Stealth looks cooler than the actual model of the stealth, so that doesn't even tip it for me.

I used to draw SR-71s like mad as a kid. They look so cool.


now what about Hawker-Harriers?


Faiz

now what about Hawker-Harriers?

I consider Harriers to be in the same boat as anything manufactured by Tupolev. Consult the Tu-142 Bear par example:


Indeed, the example of engineering function over appearance.

Salut to you Tupolev!!

Salut to you Harrier!! Without you fantastic Arnold line, "You're Fired," would not have same impact.

Hey Dan, I never usually do this, but would you sign this for me? It's for my little brother, he has cholera. His name is Joshua.

what are we making this evaluation based on? look, i take it?

you're comparing a retired reconaissance plane with a modern fighter jet. i would say the U2 vs SR71 recon comparison or F117 vs F22 fighter comparison would make more sense.

"stealth" isn't a plane name, for everybody's info. you've shown a photo of the F117 Nighthawk (stealth fighter). "stealth" is a series of technologies, not a plane. the B2 Spirit is the stealth bomber. and newer planes incorporate stealth techonologies in different ways. the F22 Raptor is a much newer (and thus less retarded-looking) example of a stealth-technology fighter jet. it looks a bit more sensible, doesn't it?



more modern tech and all.

all this nitpicking aside, the SR71 is definitely a pretty cool looking plane, and the fact that it's such old technology makes it more impressive to me. i've actually seen one up close, at an air force museum, and got to take some pictures it. it's a neat plane. so i guess it gets my vote then.

Dear Wes9,

You know, back during the glory days of our early '80s playoff runs, one of my favorite targets was a man by the name of Wes Chandler. He could run so fast and had hands so soft that I often thought watching Wes catch one of my tightly bound spirals was the equivalent of watching Jesus heal the blind. So for you Wes, I would be honored to sign your trading card of me. Unless of course you're not Wes Chandler. In which case I have not time for the slow running, brick-handed.

yours,

Dan Fouts #14
