I love this thread!! I think I have went from page one to the end a few times since I joined

 

My cousin was a commander of one of these bad boys during his first tour in iraq... Has a 25 mm cannon capable of 200 rounds a minute... If i remember correctly he told me a round could penetrate 8 inches of concrete from over a mile away...and the air displacement of a round is enough to rip your arm off if it flies by you within a foot or so...not to mention there are 6 soldiers inside ready to hop out and kick ass

Good shit, Brian! The Invader is one of my favorites.
Here is the P-61 Black Widow. The finest Night Fighter, ever.

Richard Bong with 40 confirmed kills in the pacific.


nothing like the sound of two Allison 12 cylinder counter rotating engine running at full throttle and GE superchargers barking.

 

USS San Jacinto (CG-56), The World's Finest Aegis Cruiser, and home for 4.5 years.

2 5" 54 caliber deck guns, 122 missiles in 2 VLS's (almost any combo of SM2/3's, ASROCS, & Tomahawks, including nuclear Tomahawks). We also carried 8 Harpoon anti-ship missiles, 2 SH-60 choppers, and a whole mess of small arms, from 2 20mm CIWS mounts to Beretta M9's and quite a few things in between.

 

Brian, Brian, Brian...
the RA-5C Vigilante is the most beautiful aircraft ever. But if your talking piston engine only, it's the F8F Bearcat.

Ha! I guess not too many since the Bearcat never flew combat in American colors. And the Vigilante was converted to High Speed Recon!
