Plane of the week #3, F-14 Tomcat

The Grumman Tomcat, one of the best recognized planes in the US Navy for a few reasons.

One reason was it's swinging wings or variable sweep wings (VSW), which have only been utilized by a few other planes, like the Rockwell B-1 Lancer, the Lockheed F-111 Aardvark, and the Bell X-5. VSW's allowed a plane to change its wing angle mid flight, bringing them in allowed them to go faster at the cost of fuel efficiency.

Another reason for being so recognizable was the fact that it was a supersonic aircraft. Capable of more than mach 2, it was one of the Navy's fastest manned planes, just behind the SR-71 Blackbird.

Capable of carrying over 20,000 lbs (9070 kg) in excess fuel and armament, it is a great fighter jet.

As well as a bunch of Google searches, but I don't wanna list them all out.

The Super Guppy is actually pretty cute as far as planes go.  This plane is the successor to the Pregnant Guppy, produced by Aero Spacelines.  There’s, uh, plenty of room for cargo in here—perhaps you want to store another plane inside of it? Go for it. The thing looks like a blimp!

Woke up early (on a Saturday! A Saturday) to meet an awesome friend for breakfast! They gave me an RotJ!Luke (the best Luke) action figure they found at a yard sale!

Then I spent the rest of the day in the sun watching the Thunderbirds (who very much live up to their name, cannot hear, wear ear plugs next time) and the Blue Angels!

So exhausted and still have to drive two hours to my sister's for mother's day! Need a bed pronto please

Also here is a cool shot I took of the Blue Angels
