mutley 4,495 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Thanks to Marcel for the idea (Keep 'em coming everyone!) In this month's competition we would like to see aircraft with bad attitude! (And I don't mean plunging into the sea ) It could be a fighter, a meanly painted civilian aircraft, a cold-war Russian behemoth, anything with "an attitude". Good luck, competition ends 23:59 Feb 29 2012. Please take note of the rules here Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Here are my starters The baddest attitude ever!, the SR-71 Blackbird Real Wild Child ! The Republic F105D Thunderchief on a Wild Weasel Mission over 'Nam Born to be wild ! Edforce one ! Link to post Share on other sites

CSoul 182 Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 First one: The F4U Corsair. If ever there was an aircraft born to be wild, this was it. 2nd one. A MH-53 Pavelow. And an F8F Bearcat Link to post Share on other sites

mike H 456 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Here is my first 2 comp. shots Early fs9 shot. Looking very CooL Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Vulcan and Skybolt, A rare sight indeed ! such a shame that idea was scrapped by those idiots Sands and Wilson. Interestingly enough the surviving Vulcans still retain the wing hardpoints that were put in to carry the Skybolt to this day ! Link to post Share on other sites
mike H 456 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Thanks Alan for the info. I think she looks Great, all White. I found this pic while looking through some old shots taken in 2008. Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Indeed the hard points were there, installed from XM574-onwards. XM597/598/607 used them in the Falklands to hang Sidewinders (I think) and a Dash-101 pod, nabbed from a Buccanneer Link to post Share on other sites
TedG 0 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 How appropriate are these Yesterday I happened to be making a dawn patrol flight from Castlegar to Banff and remembered this contest! Here we are lining up... And turbines howling the Twin Otter climbs out over Castlegar... Link to post Share on other sites
Soya 7 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 My entries for this month's theme: 'I like smoke and lightning, heavy metal thunder.' 'Racing with the wind and the feeling that I'm under.' 'Like a true nature's child we were born, born to be wild.' Best of luck all. Link to post Share on other sites
UKJim 502 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 To me the harrier jump jet is my plane with attitude - This old bird has vertical take-off and normal take-off - Ever since I knew about this plane it has always been a favourite of mine. Good luck all - this the first ever time I have submitted a post in the prize screenshot contest hopefully it is a worthy contender Thanks, Jim Link to post Share on other sites

Misha Cajic 4 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Hey guys, some great entries here! Here is my entry- The mightly Goshawk putting a show on for the townspeople... Zooming over the airstrip! Before giving a little wave and saying hello to the people enjoying their balloon tour Good luck everyone! Misha Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Well there isn't a lot more wild than the English Electric Lightning - a pair of re-heated Avons, an incredibly thin wing and a completely and utterly useless range! Seen here formated with a Tu-95 'Bear' Unfortunatly, Alan beat me to it in terms of Iron Maiden's 757. Then I realised that it was the Final Frontier paint job (G-STRX), so this shot is of G-OJIB, the 'Somewhere Back In Time' tour aircraft And finally - prehaps the aircraft isn't very wild, but my piloting is!

mike H 456 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 pic no.3 A10 or is it a UFO This a/c has alot of Attitude, looking at the rear it looks like an Alien with Big Eyes, a Long Snout and packing alot of Hardware. You would not want to meet this thing on a dark night. Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Prehaps I should add that I now have an Iron Maiden T-shirt with G-OJIB being 'attacked' by Eddie...... Link to post Share on other sites

Our winner is Kierans EE Lightning and TU-95 Bear, I don't know which one is wilder but with them both in the same shot it was always a contender! Well done Kieran and check your PM's!
