🇮🇱 An IAF F-35I Adir single-seat, single-engine, stealth multirole fighter taxis to the runway ahead of a combat sortie as part of Operation Roaring Lion. The combination of advanced stealth, avionics and mission systems makes the Adir an invaluable asset, one which has endowed the IAF with unprecedented penetrating ISTAR and precision-strike capabilities.

airsLLide No. 6888: OB1455, Lockheed L-1011 TriStar 1, Faucett Peru, Miami-International, March 20, 1992
After using a long standing fleet of McDonnell Douglas DC-8 for its long-range flights to the US, the privately-owned Peruvian carrier Faucett - established in 1921 and named after its founder Elmer J. Faucett - chose to replace the ageing early generation jets with Lockheed TriStar widebodies. At the same time, a predominantely white scheme with billboard titles was launched, replacing the 1970s-style orange lines and rooftop Faucett’s DC-8 had carried for two decades.
A total of four TriStars joined the fleet in the 1990s, but could not save the airline from its increasing debt, forcing Faucett to shut down in 1999, after 71 years of service.

airsLLide No. 10271: C-FTNC, Lockheed L-1011 TriStar 150, Air Transat, Las Vegas-McCarran, February 27, 1994
Air Transat was a long-time regular in the twice-weekly Casino flights from Canada’s East Coast to Nevada’s «Sin City», and thus their high-density TriStar widebodies were similarly regular to town, including C-FTNC which was originally built for Air Canada and handed over to Air Transat in 1987. She flew for the Montreal-based charter carrier until her retirement in September 2001 when she was withdrawn following the downturn in demand after the events of 9/11.

FB-22 (United States)
A fighter-bomber developed based on the F-22 Raptor. It inherited the Raptor’s outstanding stealth capabilities and was planned to enter service in 2018, but it was simply too expensive for an America whose wallet had been drained by the Iraq War.
All blame should fall on the dictator Hussein.
