Blackjacking!

[Isak922]

Had to take some shots of it. Such a nice bird  8-)











Quality on the first 3 is a bit less than the others... Somehow a few settings got changed that I didn't realize at first  >:( :-/ Enjoy! Tu-160 by Alphasim around Long Island  8-)

What a massive and somehow ugly bird...

At the risk of looking ignorant, what plane is that?? That plane looks amazaing, and your shots improve it!!

It looks like the russian version of the B-1, right?

Indeed it is! It's the B-1B Lancer's much larger, Russian, cousin. The Tu-160 Blackjack  8-)

At first I thought it was "ugly" too, but the weird nose, and strange looking wings grew on me  :o

Very interesting looking aircraft.
