I agree with Bones, hideous aircraft, wonderful screenies.

Talk about strapping yourself to a jet engine!  That's a wild looking plane!  :o

interesting configuration for a jet...taildragger.

That jet must have been hard on runways, with it's tail only inches away fron the tarmac belching fire.

I'm not suprised they did so badly in the war with those to cover them.

Nice shots though.

some early models of the Me-262 had a taildragger configuration. according to some test pilots,you had to step onto the brakes for a short time ,just before reaching V1 in order to get the nose in a good position for take off.
strange things,those early jets...

yak-15 was a taildragger too... not too succesful as the next variant had tricycle gear and was built in larger numbers (yak-17)

The Supermarine Attacker was a taildragger. If the pilot was not careful it used to melt the tarmac behind it. By all accounts it was a rotten aircraft too.

They might look unusual but Italian aircraft are generally well designed & stylish once you get used to them. The Italians have a flair for such things, like their racing cars.
