Ah yeah, they can't fly at all.
- Whats on the image has to be satire right? They are literally describing all the issues Russia is having with their equipment, then asking why they can't fight the US with their superior gear.
  
  It's 4chan, so who knows. I was assuming it was propaganda, or a Tankie true believer.
- Man..that's no F22, but that certainly is an F35.
  
  True. We saw an F-22 Raptor at an air show a few years ago, and it was mind-blowing. I didn't know that a jet could do the things it was doing. I didn't even know it was possible according to the laws of physics. The thing flies like a UFO, flying saucer.
  
  Ive never gotten to see one up close :/
  
  i'm fortunate enough to have seen one, as well as numerous other historical planes. The dayton air museum has an f22, the streak eagle, and quite a number of other historically relevant planes in it's collection as well. Incredible place, it's in ohio, but other than that, its great.
  You can spend literal days just wandering through that place looking at shit from ww1 to the cold war, and even space travel.
  
  Closest thing I've got is DC air and space museum.
  
  The Udvar-Hazy air and space museum annex near Dulles is actually the best part of that museum. Check it out!
  
  I might have actually been to that one. Is that the one with the space shuttle?
  
  Yes and an sr-71 blackbird.
  
  Yep! I have pictures in that one. That things huuuge
  
  i can't say much about that one, but dayton air museum if you're ever around the midwest area is honestly one of the best places you can go. Historically it was a pretty strategically important location so it's had a lot of presence in the past. And it's pretty big as a result.
  although if i had to guess, that museum is also pretty good as well.
  
  I'll tell my wife to add it to the travel list lol
  
  if you ever do make it down to the dayton airforce museum, i can recommend going early in the morning, as (at least last time i was there) it was basically completely dead in the morning (up until about noon), it starts to pick up more in the afternoon and it's really peaceful just walking around there without having a bunch of people or background conversation. Though it's probably worth scheduling it outside of the usual visitation hours, i think we were there on sunday/monday?
  although for us we arrived on sunday later in the afternoon, and then stuck around for one more day to complete the walk through the next morning. If you got there at opening you could probably do the whole thing in one day, but it'd be rough.
  
  The F-35 is a result of a UFO on the American diet. But it can do pushups!
