  • Went to the air show today.

    Kinda off topic. But it is jets! I have liked jets since i was a kid living near an air force base. Got a chance to go to the air show today, but sadly it got rained out after being there for an hour. I have a better camera but it wasn't charged.



    Americas Army Virtual Tour. This is the Army version based off the game AA.


    AC-130 Gunship weapons systems. I'm sure you have played with this in MW 1 & 2




    For you BF2 pilots out there. Yes. The F-35. I must say this is the most amazing plane i have ever seen. How the J10 owned this for so long is insane :laugh:





    No idea what this is, but it looks pretty cool.


    F-111 "Aardvark"


    V-22 Osprey


    This is when the rain started. Wish i could have taken more. If anyone could tell me what that missle is, ill give them a cookie.

    On that mirrored looking thing, I think its a radar jamming device, perhaps infrared.

    The ALQ portion I found by googling and it points to a number of infrared jamming devices that also use the same colored mirrors.

    Im not in the air force though and can't tell you that for sure.

      Very cool. I haven't been to an air show in years. Also, that's a B-1 Lancer, not an F-111.

        Yea thats a B-1 I'm pretty sure.

        Probably better off posting this in OT.

              Those are infrared jammers for incoming IR homing missiles. It uses a thermal imaging device to locate incoming missile, then use 3-5um laser to saturate the detector of the missile.

              The color you see there is anti-reflection coating.
