Thanks to Marcel for the idea (Keep 'em coming everyone!)

In this month's competition we would like to see aircraft with bad attitude! (And I don't mean plunging into the sea )

It could be a fighter, a meanly painted civilian aircraft, a cold-war Russian behemoth, anything with "an attitude".



Good luck, competition ends 23:59 Feb 29 2012.

Please take note of the rules here

Here are my starters
The baddest attitude ever!, the SR-71 Blackbird

Real Wild Child ! The Republic F105D Thunderchief on a Wild Weasel Mission over 'Nam

Born to be wild ! Edforce one !

[garryrussell]

Don't give a damn

The great unwashed

[PanzerFodder]

Better get my fighter collection out for this months comp .



P51 Mustang, an aircraft that was truly "Born to be Wild"



P47 Razorback, another wild one if you get on the wrong side of it


How about this for a low pass? (and this was just the Take off!)



Cheer's...Graham...

[CSoul]

First one: The F4U Corsair. If ever there was an aircraft born to be wild, this was it.

2nd one. A MH-53 Pavelow.

And an F8F Bearcat

Here's some for me.

Here is my first 2 comp. shots
Early fs9 shot.



Looking very CooL

Vulcan and Skybolt, A rare sight indeed ! such a shame that idea was scrapped by those idiots Sands and Wilson. Interestingly enough the surviving Vulcans still retain the wing hardpoints that were put in to carry the Skybolt to this day !

[mike H]

Thanks Alan for the info. I think she looks Great, all White.
I found this pic while looking through some old shots taken in 2008.

[hurricanemk1c]

Indeed the hard points were there, installed from XM574-onwards. XM597/598/607 used them in the Falklands to hang Sidewinders (I think) and a Dash-101 pod, nabbed from a Buccanneer

How appropriate are these

Yesterday I happened to be making a dawn patrol flight from Castlegar to Banff and remembered this contest!

Here we are lining up...


And turbines howling the Twin Otter climbs out over Castlegar...

My entries for this month's theme:

'I like smoke and lightning, heavy metal thunder.'

'Racing with the wind and the feeling that I'm under.'

'Like a true nature's child we were born, born to be wild.'


Best of luck all.

To me the harrier jump jet is my plane with attitude - This old bird has vertical take-off and normal take-off - Ever since I knew about this plane it has always been a favourite of mine. Good luck all - this the first ever time I have submitted a post in the prize screenshot contest hopefully it is a worthy contender

Thanks,
Jim

The B25 Mitchell: one of the meanest and wildest planes of WW2

[Garret]

McDonnell F4 Phantom: Definitely one of the wildest planes ever to carry weapons.

Hey guys, some great entries here!
Here is my entry-

The mightly Goshawk putting a show on for the townspeople...



Zooming over the airstrip!



Before giving a little wave and saying hello to the people enjoying their balloon tour



Good luck everyone!

[hurricanemk1c]

Well there isn't a lot more wild than the English Electric Lightning - a pair of re-heated Avons, an incredibly thin wing and a completely and utterly useless range! Seen here formated with a Tu-95 'Bear'



Unfortunatly, Alan beat me to it in terms of Iron Maiden's 757. Then I realised that it was the Final Frontier paint job (G-STRX), so this shot is of G-OJIB, the 'Somewhere Back In Time' tour aircraft



And finally - prehaps the aircraft isn't very wild, but my piloting is!

[mike H]

pic no.3 A10 or is it a UFO
This a/c has alot of Attitude, looking at the rear it looks like an Alien with Big Eyes, a Long Snout and packing alot of Hardware.
You would not want to meet this thing on a dark night.

[hurricanemk1c]

Prehaps I should add that I now have an Iron Maiden T-shirt with G-OJIB being 'attacked' by Eddie......

[ShrewsburyFC]

Here are my entrys:









Good luck all!
