Lovely thread with some unusual photos

Here a rather loose thread for the aviation photos I found exceptionally aesthetic or interesting. A US Navy F-14A intercepts a Soviet Myasishchev 3M strategic bomber over the Mediterranean, circa 1982. author: LT Dave Parsons/US Navy (found on r/WarplanePorn)

The very first image shows how huge the F-14 is. You don’t realize it because it has the shape typical of smaller planes. I remember being really surprised the first time I saw one in a museum.

Quite foreshortened, the F-14 isn’t nearly the size of that bomber. To get a sense of size, look at each plane’s cockpit and imagine the size of people in it
