#PhotoOfTheDay is of an F-14 Tomcat with burners lit over San Francisco Bay during Fleet week some years ago. The Bay Bridge is in the background.

    @[email protected] I was just thinking about the F-14 yesterday. Absolutely my favourite fighter from an aesthetic view.

    (I had been thinking about it because I’m sure ED-209’s legs were fashioned after its engine cowlings)

        @[email protected] There was a vid from Tested this week with the full size at Tippett’s workshop which was what made me think about it.

        It’s possibly the closest thing I’ve ever seen to being janky without crossing the line! It’s basically Home Depot lumber and coffee lids. It’s amazing.

        But yes, vacuum formed from the F-14 would be in the 8:1 scale at least.
