Northrop Grumman B-2.1
Ouch for the taxpayers

The last ever Boeing 747 built to be delivered for Atlas Air.

RIP Jumbo Jet Era.

Is that the Darkstar from Top Gun: Maverick?

Yeah. They just displayed it there for fun to promote that film.

Cool! Personal fav of mine, TG:M. Saw it in an iMax theater at the Udvar Halsey Center at Dulles VA. It was fukin’ epic.

I filmed the flyby of the Philippine Air Force’s FA-50 Fighting Eagle right in front of my house.

Pilot is okay.

That was not good. Did the wind come from behind or did the nozzle lift the rear up?

Spoilers: the top one wins

@NitroFury
How do they differ?

This was the METRA livery before, I think

I’ve only been to Chicago once though and a Google search produces like, five different liveries.

@Khamzat Chimaev
I assume the top one is to represent the current Metra Lightning Bolt Paint Scheme, while the bottom one is suppose to be a more of a modern take.

Metra is going to be very different next year, not only with the new Alstom Bi-Level Cars expected to roll out, but also with the Battery-Electric F40PHs

And SD70MACHs (which will be rolling out this year)

Mountain Dew ass livery

@NitroFury
THOSE LOOK BADASS!

@NitroFury
So they’re making new F40PHs? After more than 70 years?

Today is the 160th anniversary of London Underground.

Battery-Electric Locomotives just seems rather dumb.

@NitroFury
totally agree.

Also this is the 100th anniversary of the Flying Scotsman

Anyone been to an air show or seen a flyover in person?

I’d like to go to Farnborough this year.

@RD4590
Where’s that?

No, the F40PH has been discontinued since 1992 (well, 1998 if you count MK and MPI). Is more like rebuilding them to more “Environmentally Friendly”, not realizing you need to Mine the stuff to make these Battery-Electric Locomotives, which in turn does more damage to the environment

If Metra want to be Environmentally-Friendly, they either need to invest in Electrification (which I’m fully aware will never happen) or invest in renewable diesel fuels.

There’s a big air show there every year.
