But I can't quite think of what...

I had to listen to it about 4 times converting that powerpoint presentation to the FLA video for you all to view. Now I’m blasting 4 Non Blondes to rid my ears of it :))

What’s Up
No problem. ;)
But I can't quite think of what...
Hmmm, didn't know that. Guess I should have looked up the details of that aircraft type. I bet they got something from it, though...
Thank you for the youtube link. I love that song, watched it three times.
me too, bump
You know why? Because it contradicts your nature as a human being! It’s a constant boost of your blood pressure. Just imagine if you have to listen to this kind of crap all the time!
MMMM...Raptor Bait
You got a pretty good view here about China. China always tries to tell its people that if you are not strong, you will be always bullied. In the meantime the CCP government tricks itself to believe it’s on the right side of right and wrong and it only acts for the good of mankind. They have a way to trick themselves to believe they are not doing anything wrong. A lie being told thousands of times becomes the truth. Given that China blocks its people from access to our freedom of thought and our view of things, it’s just pure dangerous that the free world helps CCP/PLA boost any military power.
BTTT
The F-22 is an awesome plane and will be unchallenged in the skies for sometime. However, with advancements in nanotechnology, the next generation will pull G’s heretofore unimagined in combat flight. As such, that generation will be unmanned (human beings, even with highly sophisticated pressurized suits, will be unable to tolerate the performance). That is the future of combat aviation.
All the initial designs on that video are computer generated graphics. Those graphics are simply fan mail designs. The originals have the names of the creators, etc on them. They then get erased and re-posted as an attempt at a real picture. The B-2 design has been doing the same rounds on the internet.
The aircraft that you think is a ‘Phantom’ design is a Shenyang F-8 ‘Finback’. It first entered service in the late 1960s. It is based on a Soviet design and esentially a scaled up MiG. It was an F-8 ‘Finback’ that collided with the U.S. Navy EP-3 forcing it to land on Hainan Island.
Thank you for all your work, will also post this link.
a few fanboy photoshop / fantasy drawings of nonexistent “5th generation” stealth fighter (and the fanboy arts aren't even consistent from pic to pic)
the “H-10” stealth bomber (a atretched version of the B-2) that's a prop from the movie “Broken Arrow” (featuring the nonexistent B-3),
a few stock photos of Russian import SU-27, the local copy of the SU-27 (J-11), SU-30MMK,
the new J-10 (built upon the Israeli Lavi),
various old MIG-21 based platforms - J-7, JA-7, FBC-1, planes that the PLAAF didn't even want for themselves (like airforce everywhere, they prefer newer hardware)but were forced to take a few so China can export the plane to Pakistan
old MIG-19 (yes, MIG-19 that's 50 y.o. design) based A-5.
old Soviet TU-16 based H-6.
J-8 II, a stretched version of the MIG-21 that was developed with help from, believe it or not, Northrop Grumman back in the mid-80’s (under project Peace Pearl), and that's a PLAN plane, not PLAAF.
Maybe the new WZ-10 attack helicopter.
Old WZ-9 attack helicopter which are essentially converted French / Italian Augusta light duty passenger helicopter.
Some old Soviet era Mi heavy lift choppers.
good ole’ American made Blackhawks we sold to China back in the mid-80’s, funny how China hasn't made a copy of it.
looks like two or three of the four AWAC prototype under development (although I think two were already lost to accidents) built on Soviet Anatov platforms.
various old Soviet AN light duty cargo planes converted to maritime patrol and ECM warfare.
not much there really ....
Please no more music, I give up, I surrender.
Nice planes, look like they are ready for the Korean war.
The B-2 looked “artist renditions”.
