The Hellcat is nice but for me I always thought the Corsair was more graceful looking. To each their own

Call me crazy but I always kinda liked the A10 Warthog. Odd but cool.

The A10 is potentially the most badassed plane EVER made.

I wish I could post pictures but it's pain in the ass on a phone but there is a meme that pretty much sums up the A10.

Though for a killer it has some weak engines. They sound like vacuum cleaners.

What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Hell of a man. Letting an incest bite him and draw blood, twice. So, what level of hell did that thing originate from?

I always preferred the aerial shots. Fascinating how the ocean is displaced by the force of the cannons firing.

Also like this one.

Yeah those battleship pics brought up the amusing myth that a battleship will be pushed sideways when they fire all guns at the same time.
