Planes, boats, tanks and ... from 1900 'till now!

Can you imagine these hunks of metal being thrown of an aircraft carrier?

Turkish F-4 Phantom

Together with the Israelis, Turkey has upgraded their F-4s to the most modern standard in the world.

Their F-4e 2020 terminators are basically new aircraft with new hardpoints, 20km of new wiring, new avionics and new hydraulics/pneumatics and a complete overhaul of fuselage and engines

Finland has chosen the F-35 as the successor to their Legacy Hornets.

Both are seen here flying together

T-33 Shooting Star

Just after WW2, Lockheed saw the need for a jet trainer before anyone else and invested their own money in the conversion of the P-80 into a jet trainer, resulting in the T-33. Over 6500 were built!
