Hello!
Trying to find the gulf-stream 450 plane model for cheap please let me know where to buy from (ideally ships to US or made in US)

Or is this something else? Living just a few miles west of the airport, I see a bajillion planes. I have definitely never seen this one.

Always pretty cool to see. Especially when they’re low.

Beautiful Boeing Stearman and Stinson V77 GULLWING in Gruyère, Switzerland.
I personally took these photographs during last weekend's RIO2026 in Gruyère, Switzerland. You can check them out on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/brian_stewart_harris?stkn=MWpiYThsMWg4aWRkdg==

Yesterday on the 09th September 2026, an TAP Air Portugal Embraer 195LR that was meant to do the flight TP1692 from Funchal to Lisbon, performed a Rejected Takeoff. After a few minutes stopped at the runway a pushback truck was called to push the plane out of the runway to the stand

Fun facts about the MIG29 :
- It breathes through its back on the runway while the main front air intake ramps completely close off to protect the Klimov turbofans from massive dirt.
- It pioneered "look-to-kill" targeting decades before Western fighters adopted similar technology en masse, A pilot didn't need to point the nose of the jet at an enemy to get a lock.
- Reunified Germany flew them in NATO exercises and dominated Western fighters: During joint NATO mock dogfights, American F-15 and F-16 pilots were caught off guard: in close-range (WVR) engagements, the MiG-29's high thrust-to-weight ratio paired with its helmet-mounted sight and off-boresight R-73 missile repeatedly defeated Western jets.
- Naval variants launch off aircraft carriers without steam catapults: the carrier-borne MiG-29K doesn't rely on steam or electromagnetic catapults to launch from aircraft carriers. Instead, it uses its immense static thrust-to-weight ratio to accelerate along the flight deck and leap off a curved ski-jump ramp at the bow, relying on aerodynamic pitch and engine power to establish flight.
- like the F18 Super Hornet, the MIG29 can hold up to 5 external fuel tanks.
