Last one may be fake, but that doesn't prevent it being awesome .

I must admit, I was tempted to post that one myself

For anyone looking for the rest of the (fake or real) photos, search for Kalinin K-7

A Guppy. Built to transport big bits of aircraft and rockets around the place.

Airbus have something similar for moving wings between factories.

The 'Beluga', they fly over Wrexham regularly. The A380 wings are built in Broughton, these things are the transporters.

That series of F15 shots is amazing, I'm very surprised that managed to stay in the air. I guess the body of the aircraft provides a lot of lift too?

Yeah, his landing speed was pretty high though

I like how they chose a gun that was really far too big for it. It didn't fit due to the front landing gear.

So they just moved the landing gear out the way to make space for the gun.

I like that the gun is so big that if you had two guns they would provide more thrust than the engines.

"The recoil force of the GAU-8/A[15] is 10,000 pounds-force (45 kN), which is slightly more than the output of one of the A-10's two TF34 engines (9,065 lbf / 40.3 kN each). While this recoil force is significant, in practice cannon fire only slows the aircraft a few miles per hour."
