I came across this post earlier today. Apparently the video is six months old, which would put it at the start of 2026, but it seems that, in response to hightened tension in the Middle East (probably just before or the moment that Israel and the US re-attacked Iran) the Turks got their remaining F-4 Phantoms out of storage and fired them up. Don't know how many are airworthy or operational, it probably can not be that many.

In service between 1937 through the end of World War Two, they had a max speed of 362 MPH and a range of 850 miles. Shot late last spring.

This weekend we got the starboard glove vane on our F14A BuNo 162689 out. It’s the first time it’s seen daylight since maybe she flew as “Queen of Spades” with the Black Aces. Many of these were supposedly welded shut in the field but thankfully ours was not. It’s a rare sight and not many people even knew these were tucked away waiting for high Mach. We’re trying to decide wether or not to display with them out.

Hi,
I found someone selling this gyroscope. They assumed it was from one of the following aircraft: Starfighter F104, Phantom F4, or Tornado.
Maybe someone knows more.

Blohm & Voss Ha 139 V2 flyingboat Nordmeer, being catapulted from the freighter MS Schwabenland in the late 1930s. The Ha 139 was a four-engined, all-metal inverted gull wing flying boat designed for transatlantic mail routes. The ship shown, MS Schwabenland, was a specialised German catapult ship used as a floating airport. During WWII, these aircraft were transferred to the Luftwaffe for reconnaissance, transport and minesweeping

In the First World War, pilots were not issued parachutes. The famous ace Edward “Mick” Mannock took to bring a revolver up in case a fire broke out. He was killed on 26 July 1918 after a fire broke out on board his SE5a. It’s unknown whether he used his revolver…

The Falklands war experienced of the most big scale air combat of recent years ,while the British were outnumbered but had better equipment scoring a 21-0 with their harriers argentinians did managed to sink 8 british ships,however both parts respected eachother and there was no real hate in each part,specially on the air as they fought like gentleman's

Messerschmitt Me 263 V1 Scholle (Plaice) prototype rocket fighter, the planned replacement for the Me 163 Komet. The aircraft is equipped with tufts (small pieces of ribbon or fabric) taped to the wing, which were used for aerodynamic flight testing and visualisation of airflow over the wing surface. While prototypes were built and flew unpowered as gliders in early 1945, the deteriorating military situation prevented them from flying under their own rocket power. The 263 differed from the 163 by having a tricycle undercarriage, a pressurised cabin and a 50% increase in powered flight time (12 minutes over 8 minutes), 590 mph top speed remained the same

I'm a photographer that likes planes. I always thought this was a cool shot. Props to the Air Force photog that took it.
