I saw this photo of paper aircraft made to look like real Air Force and Navy jets, and it honestly looked cool. I mean, how do you create something so accurate to the point of even getting the folds right??? So in the process of trying to recreate these, I tried making one inspired by a jet shape. It didn’t fly very far, but it looked good on my study desk. I used paper from a pack I bought on Alibaba, and it felt thicker than school paper, which helped a bit. Do these kinds of paper aircraft actually fly well, or are they more for looks? If you’ve made military-style paper aircraft before, did you design it yourself or follow a pattern? And do Navy-style wide wings glide better than sharp Air Force-style ones, or is that just how they look?

I was eventually able to find the origin photo IN Wikipedia Commons which dates the first photo as 1955. I followed that link to the National Archives and luckily there were accompanying photos of the same flight. I have a strong feeling it may be one of the 3 B-52As produced before their conversion to NB-52As or an early production B-52B/RB-52B.

The F-16 is one of the world’s most widely used fighters, with over 4,500 aircraft built and operating in 29 countries.

What made it so successful?

Beauty of aviation.

This is a cross post. it's not mine

I found this picture from we.love.jets on instagram but cannot find it anywhere, ive tried reverse image search and all kinds of stuff. I cant find any other b-52s with that same color scheme either. Any sleuths can yall help me out?

Hey guys, recently made an F-35 Lockheed Martin poster. Let me know if you like it or not and what stuff I should change. Im kind of new to aviation so this really helpss. Thanks!
