Just in time for the holidays, here's a pair of B-1B bombers sitting in the snow.

SR-71 Blackbird Takeoff 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper


I think the SR-71 is visually one of the most bad-ass planes ever designed. Menacing and ominous, the plane is legendary in every respect.

What a ride this plane must have been. Mach 3.2+ and >80,000 feet ceiling. Amazing plane.

Boeing X-32B Joint Strike Fighter 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper


If you have an appreciation for aerospace engineering, you might look at the Boeing X-32B Joint Strike Fighter and find something of beauty beneath the obviously ugly exterior.

In case you don't recognize this plane, it's the one that lost the JSF competition to the X-35 (now F-35) JSF.

Not many good things were said about the X-32 and it suffered a few set-backs and technical challenges during the JSF competition.
I know I was quite happy when the X-35 was chosen.

Enjoy?

P.S. Here's a video of the X-32 is action with Western fanfare music....
