North Korean Fighter Jet Screws Up During Very First Public North Korean Air Show
North Korean Fighter Jet Screws Up During Very First Public North Korean Air Show-November 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:14:10

Fear of screwing up in front of a very large group of people is a fear that rules most. It must skyrocket during large public displays, like at the in North Korea earlier this month. Especially if you land your MiG-21 clumsily in front of a group of spectators. And you live in North Korea.

The tail strike incident happened at North Korea’s very first airshow, where all types of aviation enthusiasts were invited to attend. Like, international ones. Like, as guests.

It looks like the plane came in at too steep an angle. Everything was fine after, but damn, that could have been a lot worse.

There are about North Koreans who screw up in public, so hopefully the pilot is alright after this little oopsie.

Also, it has an absolutely weird and sketchy motorcycle culture. Hidden within the ad creative cafe racer scene,...

A New Angle On This Shadowy Stealth F/A-18 Hornet Concept Is Intriguing
One of our readers, Gareth Webber, pointed out a strange looking aircraft stored at AMARG, the Pentagon’s aircraft boneyard in Tucson, AZ. I immediately noticed it from an article that ran a year and a half ago in Aviation Week about a stealthy F/A-18 Hornet concept that was photographed sitting...

Mysterious Stealth F/A-18 Test Article Is Indeed A Fully Formed Specimen
Mysterious Stealth F/A-18 Test Article Is Indeed A Fully Formed Specimen
We stored at the USAF’s Aerospace Maintenance And Regeneration Group’s boneyard in Arizona. Due to limited photographic evidence we could only theorize that article in question was a fully formed concept, not a much more conventionally configured testbed with a missing nose section as reported by Aviation Week. With new...
