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-)

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
