"A World War II airplane belonging to Britain's Royal Air Force (RAF) has been found in the Sahara Desert nearly 70 years after it crash landed, Metro reports.

 

According to Vintage Wings, a Canadian aviation news website, Jakub Perka, who works for an oil company, came across the Kittyhawk P-40 in March when his team was on an expedition in the Egyptian desert.

 

As the photos below show, the plane is in remarkably good condition, with the cockpit's instrument panel and plane's body nearly unharmed despite almost seven decades in the Sahara."

I wonder if they will reclaim and restore that aircraft. There isnt much rust on it as far as I can see!

If it was to undergo a restoration, how would they unroll the prop?

Gives you an idea of how large the Sukhois actually are, huge!

 

They are big, but camera angle has a lot to do with it.

[Kuky]

The Su-27 is really huge, I think it's bigger than an F-14

Sickening! lol. So jealous of that guy! I'm hoping to become a fast jet pilot in the Royal Navy when I'm older but nowadays chances are slim...

Well you won't get it if you think it's a process you start sometime in the faraway future. ;)

You have to climb, claw, cheat, and do everything to make it happen or regret it for the rest of your days sitting behind a desk :thumbup:.
