Recently, on topic of Cool pics, I posted the link to a photo-blog of Dimitrije Ostojić http://dimitrijeostojic.com/blog/
I completely forgot about the great whiff he's done four years ago...

Translated serbian text - L-28 (L stands for Lovac or Lovački - fighter, code system of yugoslav/serbian army, MiG-21bis for example is L-17, MiG-29 is L-18), X wing fighter MD (X винг фајтер is serbian literal transcription and I got no idea why MD?), second prototype of multirole intergalactic fighter of 7th generation

Found this one yesterday. Third engine is way to much for me, but that hammerhead look really caught my eye.
Unfortunately, I didn't found the info of the author and I didn't marked the link where did I found it

Gotta be honest, the "Hammerhead" does nothing for me.

The 3rd engine is awkward & the canards are both aesthetically too big & obstruct the pilot's low-forward view (the reason the cockpit is where it is & the most important aspect of a ground-attack aircraft).

Must agree with that. This is the reason why I don't like Eurofighter.

It worked for me Guy. Windows 7 and Firefox 33.1 or Google Chrome 39.

Old Wombat · « **Reply #157 on:** December 10, 2014, 08:16:44 AM »

I'm using Windows 7 & Firefox 34.0

Just tried it again & it works! WTF?

OK, well, it's different but its shape makes the perspective look all out of whack, which is doing my head it! $:-\$

Another post from the No Rivet Counters crowd on Facebook, this time from a fellow named Brandon Scott Moparman Wheatley. Reminds me of one of Taiidan's.

I would like to see people at an airport today trying to get on that bird! "What do you mean I have to crawl up a ladder and lay in my seat? Where do I put my excessive amount of carry on luggage?"!!!!

That's why it's a 1/200 SCARE. In the real thing, it would be a 1/1, poopy pants scare. Imagine the poor guy in the bottom/last row. Every loose item, drink, food and vomit will be headed your way.

Oh, I don't know. One could simply have the seats swivel during transition. Mind you, one had better obey the "Key your seat belts fastened" sign.

I can just see airlines reducing the seat to floor space and cutting passengers off at the knee during the transition. Unless the pax were facing towards the rear in flight.

There are fights over just tilting the seat back! Imagine rotating it 90 degrees!!!!

Ah, those were the days. Back when it used to only take 2½ kills to become an "ace".

Cool. I have two engineless S-3s. This opens up a few new uses for them.
