Killer shot of two Sukhoi T-50s in  external weapons carriage trials

But, GASP, doesn't that ruin their stealth and make them unusable (to quote some F-35 critics)?   >:(

Something different:  This incredible floating forest is the result of 40 years of mangrove tree growth in Homebush Bay, Sydney. The SS Aryfield is an abandoned ship used in WWII that was left in the bay to deteriorate after the ship wrecking yard closed down. The massive ship’s rusty hull is now home to lush vegetation, including full-grown mangrove trees. What an incredible sight!

... not quite sure, but I believe this is a Greek Air Force TA-7H Corsair II with refueling equipment. I don't know the a/c type from which the photo is taken. Some kind of transport I guess...

And they called the F-104 the missile with a man in it!  Wow that Lightning looks awesome!

This of course is why the Calwell government, narrowly elected in 1961, selected the EE Lightning as an interim point defence interceptor to serve in place of Mark I Bloodhound SAMs, to protect Darwin, Singapore, Port Moresby, and Sydney from Indonesian Tu16 bombers.  ;)
