SR-71 ain’t a fighter, but still cool.

Technically the A-10 isn’t a fighter either but an attack aircraft. It’s still super cool.

A10's are for ground support. They come in after you have removed the enemies airforce. They then turn the enemies tanks into scrap iron that kids can haul away on bicycles.

I love that mental picture.

I looooove me some A-10 porn. Something about that jet has always stirred deep feelings in me.

I prefer gun porn, but aircraft porn is almost as good

SR-71 ain’t a fighter, but still cool.

SR-71 pilot: "ATC, I would like clearance for FL60".

ATC: "Sir, can you climb to FL60?"

SR-71 pilot: "I don't want to climb to FL60, I want to descend to FL60"!
