One for the WW2 fighter aficionado's. A very pretty and rare Bell P-63 Kingcobra. Lovely sounding engine! It's an unusual design. The V12 engine sits behind and below the pilot.

It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
The Bearcat's monstrously powerful big brother, the Tigercat is incredibly aerobatic for a 'biggun'. Sounds sublime too!

I've seen just about all the well known WW2 and early fifties warplanes at shows at one time or another. Just love it.
Early jets are great too. The little Vampire is a treat to see flying.

That is epic, I was lucky enough to see the one of the last flights it did at Southport Airshow last year.
However I was also very lucky in that I worked at Warton for 4 years during Typhoon development, including watching him practice for the first Aerobatic display at Farnborough.. This little party trick is pretty cool:
I was at Warton and Samlesbury sites during that time.

Was thinking today after watching a TVs prog about what are the biggest gamechanger planes of all time and decided on Concorde and sr71 blackbird. Both I think are still best at what they did

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
***SMILE, BE HAPPY***
Both were astonishing feats of engineering and I still marvel at the enormity of both achievements, but I don't think either of them changed the aviation industry significantly. Sadly, the Boeing 747 was infinitely more influential than either.
Ask yourself how many people you know have been on a wide-body jet this year, gthen ask how many have ever gone supersonic!
