This is a very clear, detailed action shot by a very brave photographer using lots of technical experience and the subject is a very cool airplane. Thank You

A visitor from France posted Fri August 1, 2008:
I've never seen that plane before, didn't know it ever existed. It looks great ! Thanks !

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu July 31, 2008:
In answer to a question above, I believe this aircraft was a tanker. Whether this particular one would have been one of those used in re fuelling Vulcan XH558 on her way to the Falklands, I wouldn't like to say, but it could well have been

I'm a former Air Electronics Officer who flew many sorties in B1, K1, B1A, B2 and K2 Victors. This is a really good photo.

A visitor from United States posted Sun July 6, 2008:
This plane is awesome!

A visitor from Canada posted Sun July 6, 2008:
Wow... spectacular shot. I can almost feel the raindrops and the ground shaking

A visitor from Finland posted Sun July 6, 2008:
That, is so awesome..

A visitor from - posted Sun July 6, 2008:
And now we know what happens when a Bell X1 falls in love with a B-37. Still, that's the coolest looking plane I've seen in a while and a really great bit of camera work.

A visitor from Pakistan posted Sat July 5, 2008:
Very alien looking aircraft...

A visitor from - posted Sat July 5, 2008:
Amazing and Cool Airplane

A visitor from United States posted Sat July 5, 2008:
That thing is wild as hell!

A visitor from United States posted Sat July 5, 2008:
I'm not sure if it has anything to do with picture composition. I just think the plane as a very cool design. Its odd the Digg story title is "The ugliest plane you'll ever see" but its far from it. This plane is awesome!

A visitor from United States posted Sat July 5, 2008:
I think it kicks ass. wonder what its meant for?

A visitor from - posted Sat July 5, 2008:
Awesome plane.

A visitor from Austria posted Sat July 5, 2008:
At least this aircraft doesn't looks like thousands made before it. It's something special :)

A visitor from Italy posted Sat July 5, 2008:
Men this is nice, why nobody said about it in the news???

A visitor from United States posted Sat July 5, 2008:
It kind of looks like Jar Jar Binks...

A visitor from United States posted Sat July 5, 2008:
This is a pretty sweet looking vehicle, good action shot.

A visitor from United States posted Sat July 5, 2008:
Great shot, ugly plane.

A visitor from Norway posted Sat July 5, 2008:
Weird, but hella awesome.

A visitor from United States posted Sat July 5, 2008:
If this aircraft was a person I would make sweeet sweaty love to it....


What the hell its never stopped me before...

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat July 5, 2008:
Memories of working on Victor 1B'S in the sixties, great.

A visitor from France posted Sat July 5, 2008:
Weird and wonderful Beauty!

A visitor from Malaysia posted Wed June 25, 2008:
Strange yet creepy! Look like alien's aircraft from outerspace!. But very wonderfull design!

A visitor from United States posted Mon June 16, 2008:
Just to get a photo of this unusual looking plane is in itself an accomplishment.

A visitor from United States posted Sat June 7, 2008:
Everytime i see this beast, it gives me an impression of a huge Jet-A guzzler compared to others. Nonetheless, it is the meanest looking plane ever to fly!

A visitor from Italy posted Sat June 7, 2008:
Fabulous picture of a fabulous plane!!!

A visitor from United States posted Sat June 7, 2008:
Only the Brits can design something so ugly that it becomes a beautiful piece of art. PeterV

A visitor from Spain posted Sat June 7, 2008:
No words to describe this aircraft. I love the V-bombers and their designs ahead of their real time in the 50's.

A visitor from United States posted Fri June 6, 2008:
A menacing beast to be sure.It looks like a "Klingon" warship,from "Star Trek"! Freaky.

A visitor from United States posted Fri June 6, 2008:
Great to see Classic jets still running. Victor to the Sky!

A visitor from United States posted Fri June 6, 2008:
That's the strangest looking aircraft ever. Love the rain effect

A visitor from France posted Fri June 6, 2008:
The shot brings out the sheer power of the beast - both the angle and the spray from the engines and "gets" that moment bfore brakes off and the start iof the take-off run. The Victor always had that "hunched" look of a rugby forward about to engage in the pack, the Mk2 even more than the Mk.1. What I'd call a "massive" shot ... Thanks indeed.

A visitor from Norway posted Fri June 6, 2008:
Very strange looking plane...

A visitor from France posted Fri June 6, 2008:
I had never seen a plane like this.

A visitor from United States posted Fri June 6, 2008:
It is always nice to see one of the old V series planes still moving under its own power. Is this it flying yet. Last I heard it was in taxi tests.

Wow incredible. It looks so like an UFO, you can't belive it's man made. Congrats, J.Zaninger.
