Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Stefan, the SVVS has become an inactive association. It still exists but without any activities. We all know the reason :cry:

Ha! I've seen that nose before. In front of a Czech Yak-40. Am I right?

About the SVVS: like Herky says, the association is asleep. The invitation for the NSK was discussed, but only two persons were motivated enough to go.

If I am correct the B-45 competed with this aircraft to become the first American jet powered bomber.
Anyone?

XB-46 is correct.
And the new one is, I guess, the X-3 nicknamed Stiletto.
