I watched the final three commercial Concorde flights land at Heathrow, one after the other. Will never forget that sight, ever.

I'd say bump mapping also, you can clearly see the difference on the tail with regard to the panel lines. Nice job FC. -

Jimbib replied to Kulbit80's topic in Military and General Aviation
Hey Nils, in a weird turn of events, apparently you've already featured with this aircraft before you made your announcement post! (Scroll down to post #609) http://www.defence.pk/forums/india-defence/25061-indo-russian-pak-fa-fgfa-41.html You also get called an artist here... http://jasonjeffrey.wordpress.com/2009/10/08/indias-first-stealth-fighter-to-fly-in-4-months/ -

MW2 gets my vote also. Assassin's Creed isn't far off either.

The HMS Gordon Brown set sail today from its home port of Skegness . The ship is the first of its kind in the Navy and is a standing legacy to Prime Minister Brown for his foresight in military budget cuts and his conduct while Prime Minister. The ship is constructed nearly entirely from recycled aluminium and is completely solar powered with a top speed of 5 knots. It boasts an arsenal comprised of one (unarmed) F14 Tomcat or one (unarmed) F18 Hornet aircraft which, although they cannot be launched or captured on the 100 foot flight deck, form a very menacing presence. As a standing order there are no firearms allowed on board. The 20 person crew is completely diversified, including members of all races, creeds, sex, and sexual orientation. This crew, like the crew aboard the Severn Ferry, is specially trained to avoid conflicts and appease any and all enemies of Britain at all costs! An on - board Type One DNC Universal Translator can send out messages of apology in any language to anyone who may find Britain offensive. The number of apologies are limitless and though some may seem hollow and disingenuous, the Navy advises all apologies will sound very sincere. The ship's purpose is not defined so much as a unit of national defence, but instead in times of conflict, the HMS Gordon Brown has orders to seek refuge in Blackpool. The ship may be positioned near the Labour Party Headquarters for photo - ops. The Browns should be very proud. Anyone else see this happening in the near future? Yeah, me too!

Indian Navy Upgraded Sea Harrier Pic
Jimbib replied to ghostrider883's topic in Military and General Aviation
How exactly? Apart from a re-spray, it looks very similar to the original FRS.51 nose... http://www.airliners.net/photo/India---Navy/British-Aerospace-Sea/0810252/L/ -
cockpit blueprint
Jimbib replied to kingwael's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
That will probably depend on which plane you are making... Also like you have said, cockpit blueprints are unfortunately not very common in public domain. -
What a pair of absolute tools... http://uk.news.yahoo.com/22/20091224/tts-uk-usa-balloon-ca02f96.html

Tornado radome paint worked well for making parade shoe toecaps well protected and shiny when I was in Air Cadets. Also, Grolsch beer bottle rubber seals are great as guitar strap locks.

A picture of this bird from the same location appeared earlier this year, however this is the first decent snap of it out in public... http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/the-dewline/2009/12/kandahars-loch-ness-mystery-pl.html Looks similar to the Polecat.
