  1. The #MikoyanGurevichYe8 was a #supersonic #jetFighter developed in the #SovietUnion, intended to replace the #MiG21 (originally named #MiG23). Only two prototypes were built in 1960–61. The original MiG-21's air intakes were moved under the fuselage, freeing up the nose where a larger and more powerful #radar, able to deliver longer range #airtoairMissiles, could be built in. #Canards were built to both sides of the nose, in front of the #cockpit.

  2. An old MiG-15, a Cold War-era jet fighter, languishing in a field somewhere in Latvia

    This lonely MiG-15 sits near a private runway in Latvia, a survivor of the Soviet Union's early jet fighter era. Developed by Mikoyan-Gurevich, the aircraft was an early innovator in swept-wing design intended to reach supersonic speeds.

  3. ✈️ Borrowed my friend's drone for this one! An old Mig-19 perched on top of a plinth, a former gate guardian at the site of a former Soviet airbase. Somewhere in Georgia.

  10. The Grumman XF10F Jaguar was a prototype swing-wing fighter aircraft offered to the United States Navy in the early 1950s. Although it never entered service, its research pointed the way toward the later General Dynamics F-111 and Grumman’s own F-14 Tomcat. destinationsjourney.com/histor #GrummanXF10FJaguar #GrummanJaguar #aviation #aeroplane #airplane #aircraft #fighter #fighterjet #jetfighter

  16. The Lockheed XF-90 was designed in response for a US Air Force requirement for a long-range penetration fighter and bomber escort. Two prototypes were built. The design proved to be underpowered and no production order was received. Both prototypes were then used for tests. destinationsjourney.com/histor #aviation #LockheedXF90 #jetfighter #fighterjet #aeroplane #airplane #USAF

  17. The McDonnell XF-85 Goblin is an American prototype fighter aircraft conceived during World War II. It was intended to deploy from the bomb bay of the B-36 bomber as a parasite fighter. The XF-85’s intended role was to defend bombers from hostile interceptor aircraft. McDonnell built two prototypes before the USAAF terminated the program. destinationsjourney.com/histor #McDonnellXF85Goblin #XF85Goblin #F85Goblin #Aviation #aeroplane #airplane #aircraft #fighter #jetfighter #fighterjet #USAF #ColdWar

  21. A year ago tomorrow, a friend and I travelled to the Miramichi to capture the eclipse. This CF-101 Voodoo at the former CFB Chatham provided foreground interest for this composite image. #photography #composite #eclipse #solareclipse #sun #sky #jetfighter #voodoo #BlueSkyMonday #EastCoastKin

  22. Next build is the Hawker Seahawk. The aircraft first flew on 1947(!) and this kit dates back to 1957. It’s been rereleased many times, this one I’ll be doing in the markings of the aircraft that was flying for the Royal Navy Historic Flight until 2010

    Simple kit, these jets from the 40s and 50s had a classic beauty to them. #scalemodel #avgeek #royalnavy #jetfighter
