Sorry... but I'm an SR-71 fanboi.  I will now infect you with my disease.  Don't worry, it's (mostly) painless.

Video on MetaCafe (play in full-screen if you can).

Any similar videos on this aircraft, or others that are close to your heart?  Share them here. 

Ah, yes, I'll drop a resource here for you too:  http://sonicbomb.com

I guess this is where I step in.

This is my baby.  The Boeing RC-135W Rivet Joint, the aircraft I'll more than likely be flying on when I finally graduate from technical training.  Thing's almost fifty years old and still flying, and has enough radio and sensor equipment to cause radiation poisoning within 10-15 seconds exposure to the nose cone.  Awesome, no?

Though if you want to talk pure awesome in terms of "this will kill you", I point to the AC-130.  You have no idea how fun it is watching those 105mm and 40mm guns do their thing.

The SR-71 has no weapons; it moves too fast! 

But, here's an AC-130 vid: (I couldn't find any of the RC-135W... will look some more.)

Now THIS... is an *airplane*.. or is it more?

It's an airplane, as far as I can see.

If you ever get to see Transformers, it does a very nice job of making the AC-130 (in fact, the entire Air Force in general) look good. 

I doubt you'd find anything of the Rivet Joint; it does nothing more exciting than fly around and spy on people.  The only spy aircraft worth getting a look at are the AWACS (E-3 Sentry), SR-71, U-2, or the Combat Sent (based off of the RC-135 model, except that it purposely tries to set off hostile AAA; really cool).

Yeah, but it makes the A-10 look like a wuss. 30mm DU round FTW!

Wow, I can't believe I didn't remember to throw the Tomcat into mine.
