The Yak 28R might not be as famous as Western recon jets, but it was a proper Cold War workhorse. Fast, capable and built to gather intel deep behind enemy lines, it shows just how serious the Soviets were about reconnaissance.

This aircraft might look old school, but the Antonov An-2 is still out there doing the job in some of the toughest conditions on earth. From frozen tundras to rough grass strips, this thing just keeps going.
Would you fly in one?

Built for speed, not style. The MiG 25 Foxbat shocked the West with its raw performance and extreme design.
Was it overhyped, or an absolute beast of the Cold War?

Getting up close to a stripped down MiG 29 is something else. You really see how compact and battle ready it is, built to fight hard and survive.
How do you think it compares to the F16?

The Tu-22M Backfire still looks intimidating decades after its first flight. Built for speed range and serious firepower, it was designed to threaten entire carrier groups.

A serious runway incident in New York is drawing renewed attention to airport ground safety.
An Air Canada Express CRJ-900, operated by Jazz Aviation, was reported to have collided with an airport fire and rescue vehicle while landing at LaGuardia Airport late on Sunday night.
How many of these military aircraft can you name, just from seeing their tails? ✈️

How many of these classic Soviet aircraft can you name? Extra points if you can tell us where the last one was built!

Ever wondered how 1930s aircraft like this could fire a machine gun straight through the propeller?
This setup’s a bit more advanced than the WW1 stuff. The gun’s mounted right along the engine’s centreline, effectively built into it, firing straight through the propeller spinner.

Why did the Mil Mi 4 helicopter have such flimsy-looking undercarriage?
#aviation #helicopter #aviationlovers
A jet with a bomber’s nose and a proper Cold War attitude, the Tu 134 was loud, tough and built for the vast Soviet skies. Over 850 were made and that iconic glass nose with a navigator up front made it unlike anything else on the apron. Love it or hate it, you could never ignore it.

The Mil Mi-6 was an absolute game changer when it first flew in the late 1950s. How do you think it compares to the Chinook?

Did the MiG 25 Foxbat really stand a chance of intercepting the SR71 Blackbird or the XB-70 Valkyrie bomber?

This aircraft looks pretty badly damaged. What do you think happened to it?
I went away for a quiet weekend and was unexpectedly attacked by an aviation museum. There was no time to think, only film. I escaped with a completely unreasonable amount of aircraft footage, which has now been handed to the social media team.
Content coming over the next few days! ✈️

The winner gets absolutely nothing… but eternal bragging rights and the quiet satisfaction of knowing you probably spend too much time around airplanes.

The Westland Wessex was a British turbine powered development of the Sikorsky S 58 and it entered Royal Navy service in 1961 as a dedicated anti submarine helicopter.

Crazy to think it has been 23 years since Concorde was retired. When do you think we’ll get another supersonic passenger jet?

How do you think the MiG-17 compared to the American-built F-86 Sabre?

If money wasn’t an object, which kind of aircraft would you buy? Would you get a top of the end piston aircraft like a Cirrus? Or would you go for something more exciting such as a private jet or even a Warbird?
