Cool photo showing just how large some of the WWII aircraft really were - this is the pilot of a Kingfisher Floatplane:

Either that or it's a 1/72 scale pilot in a 1/48 plane.

Super-Hornet or Growler?

Super Hornet...a later one too since it has the updated ECS exhausts. Here is a bigger version of a similar photo:

Without trying to upset anyone, I do believe that this photo showing the early stage of a nuclear test is quite cool:

The full video from which the shot is taken is here:

Nice catch... Didn't upset me, i'm not a supporter of nuclear weapons but the images of explosions are something else... Beautiful and at the same time, horrendous... I do like to watch them in video, but obviously, i wouldn't like to see one go off anywhere in the world nowadays.

Imagine the bone deep lacerations that would result from trying to fit any of those to the average cat.

Putting armor on a cat paints a picture in my mind! 😂😂
