Is that mask properly fitted or is it another mocked-up photograph from the NK propaganda department?

[Courtney Mil]

I do hope they paid for their copy of Photoshop. I can't believe they would just hack it from somewhere.

Port wing, towards outermost station. Anyone ID it?

R-60 / AA-8 Aphid by the looks of it - the nose canards are quite distinctive.

[Courtney Mil]

Aphid training or acquisition round - if there is such a thing. SD is spot on, but it lacks the front wings.

She is having to look out sideways because the furry dice on the HUD obliterate her forward vision.

[Danny42C]

It weren't as comfortable as that in my day !

Wot, no antimacassars ?

Nutty. I don't think it's a Sheila in that cockpit. The thread title says "chic" not "chick"...very different.

I like the idea of Tassles in the cockpit. I bet the seat has beads too...

[EW73]

The flying suit is undone too much, and where, may I ask, is the life preserver?

Also, is that a door handle on the side of the canopy?

[CoffmanStarter]

It would appear that this type of 'haberdashery' is standard ...

My theory is that it's some kind of 'anti-hair gel' covering ... certainly as far as their 'glorious leader' is concerned

The Burmese did the same when they justified changing from driving on the left to driving on the right hand side of the road. Its just a shame that the government forgot that whilst they could afford brand new lhd cars most of the population only had access to rhd vehicles!

This is definitely CapCom material.

And comfy too! So, there!"

Dirty P ...

It worries me that Buster insists on publicly displaying his 'Orthopedic F@rt Ducting and Ar$e Ventilation' automotive seat cover on such a select and discerning site as PPRuNe Mil ... The man has no shame at all ... He's obviously traumatised by the CRICKET

[Clockwork Mouse]

Don't mention THE CRICKET!!!

[Danny42C]

Clearly this is a one-off for Glorious Leader's Air Force One (for photo opportunities, you understand, not for flying).

[Flypro]

Are we sure that the missile on the port wing has not just been fitted the wrong way around ?

[Courtney Mil]

Mmitch, The BBC is wrong. The change of time zone for NK does not put them 8.5 hours AHEAD of GMT. It puts them 21,023,991.5 hours BEHIND.
