  • There is little in the world that can match the simultaneous awesomeness and mystery of a Badass Plane. These are the paragon of modern innovation, yet largely pass invisibly above us. They decide battles and wars, yet only a few lucky soldiers get to see them. Blah blah blah words. Let's look at some incredible machinery.
    Here is The Top 7 Badass Planes of the U.S. MILITARY

    Actually something new I learned today about the F-35 is that the helmets the pilots wear permit them to see all their surroundings in infrared even through the aircraft where there is no glass; almost like x-ray vision. I found that cool because that's what allows the pilots to have such advanced awareness of the battlefield, and being able to see even through the aircraft where there isn't glass. Goes to show how advanced and sophisticated the F-35 is. My favorite fighter jet by far 🤩

    I’m a 30 year airman. There are so many planes that I find fascinating. But the most excited I’ve ever been seeing an aircraft was the B-2. First time I saw one, I had just landed on a C-130 at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam. It was about 1400, no clouds in the sky, just a gorgeous 80 degree day in paradise. Also, since I was still on the flightline waiting for a ride off the airfield, I had a perfect up close view. Then I seen it, coming around to land. It was so amazing seeing that flying wing for the first time. In 2nd place? I was at Hurlburt Field years later and I seen a package of 4 CV-22’s flying along the beach. That is an amazing looking aircraft, no doubt! B-1’s are amazing, too. At an air show at Dyess Air Force Base, a B-1 doing a low level pass, setting off a bunch of car alarms on the ground, that was something else!

      @Wes Peeble you're one of a million people on the Internet saying "I know what I'm talking about" and backing it up with claims we can't verify.
      My point is, nobody can confirm that "Wes Peeble" on TH-cam is really a 30-year Marine veteran, so we have to judge your argument on its merits, not on who you claim to be. Personally, I'm inclined to believe you, but when you resort to "chicken shit" and "stfu" instead of making a cohesive argument, you come off more as a nine-year old than a respectable Marine.

    I actually got to ride a variety of military aircraft. Huey, Chinook, Blackhawk, and took a c141 to Panama. I grew up almost exactly between two airforce bases so seeing planes going from one to the other wasn't rare. Looked up or morning and saw two B1s refueling overhead. Saw a B52 doing a below the radar flight outside town one day low enough that it looked like they were lucky that there's only 7 trees in the entire state. (I know they were high enough to clear any trees. But from the right distance it looks lower than it really is)
    But the coolest one was out in southwest South Dakota on a state highway that cut through a deep S shaped valley. From above this would look like taking a dollar sign ($) and turning the line that bisects the S 90°. I was on the downhill side of the valley and a B52 banked left to cross over the road right in front of me then banked right following the valley and vanished. I was probably doing near 100mph (that part of the state has more gophers than people so it's very lightly patrolled) and it briefly felt like i wasn't moving.
    The pilot waved to me as they crossed in front of me, which i found to be neighborly lol

The enemy didn't want to see the B-52H model coming either as they can carry so many different types of weapons and can wipe out targets and anything close to them quickly and efficiently too. The C-130's are another type of airplane which can be used for many uses and is still destructive to the enemy's troops on the ground and and deliver supplies for the forces.

    Good list. You got all of my favorites that are currently in service.

    For the enemy if you see an A-10 you can get ready for the pass over. If you see the C130 7:48 (the most important bird ever built) there's no getting ready you're getting run over.

    just cant beat the B52 and C130 imo. Theres something admirable about them both still being excellent at their jobs. Great engineering.

    With that dark gray color and the wingspan being longer than the body of the jet, I've always found the B-52 to be one of the most menacing and intimidating jets ever.

      I think the B-1B is the most intimidating plane ever made. There's tons of stories coming out of the middle east where a B-1B simply doing a low altitude, high speed pass has caused the enemy to run away leaving a brown trail behind them.

    I think the E-3A should be included. Airborne platform used to direct air battles, surveil thousands of miles of airspace, capable of tracking satellites and fast moving cars. The eyes in the sky.

    Tbh, I think A-10 warthog and F-22 raptor, both are unmatched. It would be amazing to see F-22 in a real war scenario, going toe to toe with other advanced aircrafts like Eurofighter Typhoon.

    The loudest aircraft is the 🇺🇲B1-Lancer.
    My all time favorite air machine.

    A10 will only be replaced when they figure out how to fit TWO of those guns onto one airplane.
