@lockheed-martini They gave it that designation to get fighter pilots interested in flying it (And it worked). The plane, although a bomber, handled like a fighter as well

Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor

McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle.
There's a lot wrong with the world today.
All of it can be fixed
The problem is... no one really knows they are part of the problem because, like any good villian, they think they are the hero
Four A-10s from the 111th Fighter Wing (FW), Willow Grove Air Reserve Station, PA fly in formation after taking on fuel from a KC-10A Extender from the 514th Air Mobility Wing, McGuire Air Force Base, NJ. The A-10s were on a training mission that included the air refueling.
Here's an idea...
Stabilizers on the bottom of the aircraft, can raise for landing and taking off. Still working out fixed vs. variable-sweep wings and if fixed, swept wings or standard. Also saw a concept of the air intake on the top built into the body of the aircraft, so I was working with that as well
This is my favorite jet of all time. Beautifully said!
One of the world’s most sucessful fighter jets (and also one of the most loved ), the Boeing (former McDonnell Douglas) F-15 Eagle is the next one to be shown in the photo series.
The American, all-weather, twin engine tactical fighter design to gain and hold air superiority of a region, the McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F-15 Eagle, holds the score of over 100 victories to zero losses in aerial engagements AND is the only aircraft to score a kill on a satellite.
If you have any suggestions or contribution of plane pics (or even photos of your favorite aircraft) to be shown here in the photo series, send it to me and i’ll upload them!

@julietteandthejet Tagged you because of how many followers you have and thought the community should know
You ever write up a post you decide will be too controversial or embarrassing but leave it in your drafts to sleep on and then forget about it? How about real personal stuff you weren’t sure you wanted to share at the time? Heavy-ass receipts on bad shit you’re leaving there only just in case you’re forced to use them? Well if any of your drafts get flagged by the new system, a mod can apparently see them in with all your other flagged posts, and if they un-flag them, it publishes them automatically as a brand new post. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
It’s because you’re tumblr famous among us aviation folk
