The RAF hawk trainers are based in the valley :D

So you will always see those flying about, we get them here (blackpool) daily practising ILS approachs etc. Mix that in with the eurofighter typhoon flying over every 2 minutes and its pretty annoying sometimes.

yeah its the gunnery school and the hawks there are black.
These were red red i tells yea!

red arrows then :D

I had guessed as much.
Back on topic i think tiger moth deserves a place here.

GLOBEMASTER
what a name!

+1

@ vulcan thanks for that pic of the globemaster kudos to you my friend i now have a awsome wallpaper :grin:

Yes it's a good name, so good that it's already been used twice LoL.
The original C-74 Globemaster was a radial engined transport from the late 40's that participated in the Berlin airlift. Later came the C-124 Globemaster 2, which also had 4 radials. The C-17 is the Globemaster 3, and if you think it looks cool in the picture, you gotta watch one takeoff :-P

Awesome call on all of these, but especially the SB. Probably my favourite WW2-era aircraft, all things considered.

My vote for best (certainly most fitting) name though (provided we're counting 'official unofficial' names) would the the SR-71 'Habu' - 'Blackbird' was the name used once it was acknowledged to the public, but all who worked with the aircraft preferred the former name, a Habu being a dark poisonous pit viper native to the island chain including Okinawa, where many of the SR-71s operational sorties were flown from.

and then there were tanks....
 

... I know this is an aiplane site and Game. But I have allot of awesome tank screens who even those pesky plane Nerds. Err.. I mean 'Speciallist'

So here are some awesome Panzer screenies;)

Get this, a Leo2 in the USA! :grin:
