Dude, that’s a Grumman F-20 Landshark halfway through shedding its winter skin.

This is clearly an f-15. Photograph from a Canberra.

Fact of the day: Irn Bru is known in England's biggest county as a highly effective hangover cure. Mixing it with used cooking oil as found in fish suppers enhances its effectiveness in this regard.

Fun fact: the export model arrives at the base in a flat pack, is assembled by British specialist Allen Key using 80085 hex screws…

We got vegan fighter jets before gta6

That's a Gripen E. The Viggen is probably already long gone and the Gripen is trying to catch up.

No. No. NO!

RAF Luton is never wrong. That should be obvious from the many other facts they provide about that plane.

anders.abel.nu•100 days ago

Of course RAF Luton is not wrong. Nowhere in their text about Viggen did they claim the picture is of a Viggen.

oswald1160.bsky.social•100 days ago

Even if they had done, they would have been correct.
It's simply the default.

I once Gripened a Viggen. It didn't end well.

lyndaatkins.bsky.social•100 days ago

Are you sure you didn’t accidentally bigger a Gripened? Can have bad results …

railfanguy.bsky.social•100 days ago

Did that once, too. It made me saab.

Grip it by the viggen

… and we’re off

It's like old times😊

It is banned from flying in Scotland because the smell of its passing is like the Pied Piper and entire swathes of the countryside becomes empty as the population chases it into the sunset.

Found you. Yay. Happy days :)

bsky-sam.bsky.social•100 days ago

Finally you got here!

I nearly sent @sandford-police.bsky.social out to look for you.

Blue Skies need RAF Luton!

I once bought a KALLAX and they gave me a VIGGEN. It was hilarious trying to explain it to the returns desk

therealnessie.bsky.social•96 days ago

Did you sneakily slip the 4mm Allen key out of the box before you returned it?

therealnessie.bsky.social•96 days ago

They have to add the IrnBru to the cooking oil as a retardant to balance the alcohol levels produced through combustion. Without this, the exhaust ring would burn out.

Interesting counterpoint to Canada's RCAF fighter F-soixante-dix-neuf-virgule-quatre-vignt-et-u n, the Annoying Mosquito, which only runs on unprocessed fracked Alberta shale oil.

monsterkloss.bsky.social•99 days ago

Grip-hen by the p***y!

limeyjeff.bsky.social•99 days ago

I thought that was made by Saab, not Volvo
