A very nice painting. The A-10 is my favorite jet, even though it is ugly. But, it is so good at what it does. It was suppose to be retired by now, but the air force didn't want to get rid of it.

That last one isnt the su-37. not sure what it is. but search kazaa or whatever for su-37, it it should return a sweet video showing its super maneuverability. I have the video but know where to host it.

B-2 bomber... this is the bomber equivilant of the commonly known stealth fighter the F-117.


i dont know where you got all this info but the b-2 and the f-117 are 2 different aircrafts, very very differnt, the b-2 is all curves where the f117 has no curves at all the b-2 is a flying wing.

here is a f-117



here is the b-2

the aircraft is actually called Sukhoi S-37 BERKUT "Golden Eagle".
. the forward design of the wings resembles the really old russian fighter the tupolev backfire.

Here is some info on the S-37:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
History: The S-37 is an experimental fighter technology demonstrator built to validate and gain experience with various technology advances (particularly the forward swept wings) which could be incorporated into a fifth generation Sukhoi fighter.

The S-37 was initially known as the S-32 and initial reports of the program's existence surfaced in early 1996 when it appeared the aircraft was intended to be a fifth generation fighter, rather than a technology demonstrator.

The S-32 first flew on September 25 1997 (two weeks after the F-22's first flight), with greater details and photographs made public shortly after. The most obvious feature of the new Sukhoi is its forward swept wing, which is made of composite materials to give the necessary structural strength. Benefits of forward sweep include improved maneuverability at subsonic speeds, enhanced controllability at high angles of attack, reduced takeoff and landing rolls (also resulting in improved range) and a reduced forward hemisphere radar signature (the S-37 may also be fitted with radar absorbent material).

B-2 bomber... this is the bomber equivilant of the commonly known stealth fighter the F-117 "i dont know where you got all this info but the b-2 and the f-117 are 2 different aircrafts, very very differnt, the b-2 is all curves where the f117 has no curves at all the b-2 is a flying wing.".

what ?
The B-2 might not be the exact same thing as the f-117. What i MEANT :x by equivilant is that they are both STEALTH STYLE AIRCAFT that play different roles in the airforce. One is a bomber while the other is a fighter.

...BTW this board is not meant for expert aeroplane nuts. The point of the comments is to give the average person a rough idea of what the aircraft is about. It 's cool to correct large mistakes like the Su-37 picture but u dont have to be such a smart mouth about tiny details such as CURVES.
thanks

i just found some more pictures of the S-37.

"One is a bomber while the other is a fighter. "

uhhh if you think that the f-117 is a fighter think again champ, the f-117 has no guns or defenses. both are stealth bombers with no air to air weapons.

you both right it is in no way a bomber but the air force designated it "f" for fighter. Only some dumbass general knows why.

EDIT: Where it says bomber it should say fighter my bad.

HAHAHAHA !!
ok
one is huge, one is quite small. Can't argue with that now can you porsche?

anyway forget it. As long as the pictures look nice everyone is happy. No need for pointless arguing.
Besides neither of us has been in the F-117 so we don't really know its real role. Maybe the airforce WANTS u to believe its a bomber when it actually has other SECRET missions and roles.
If u think about it even a bomber is a fighter, since it FIGHTS the
enemy by attacking with dropped bombs so technically you could be wrong...

My buddies dad used to fly the A-10 and before that the F-4 "Wild Weasal" recon jet. Both are cool in their own right but that A-10 is freaking amazing. The 30mm cannon on that thing shakes the whole plane when fired!
