Heh!, Heh!, Heh, we have another thread for talk like that, but yes, the canopy does appear small because of the distortion. Probably because the lense has a longer focal length and the angle??
but she's still smaller than the SR-71?? right???
Now that is a beautiful airplane, and you're right latenlazy, the wide angle lense would be the correct answer, a longer lens would tend to compress the image!
This is a much better image at approx. similar angles and there is very little distortion,,, and I love that paint, the border around the vertical stabilizers tends to make them look much smaller than they are, which is entirely intentional, hopefully they will appear to disappear in the air.
Even has 2015 emblazoned on the side too.
Yes it does, and I love 2015,,, but now I'd like a brand new J-20 LRIP bird for Christmas! How bout it Chengdu??
Probably won't be LRIP anymore considering that they've officially entered service way earlier this year.
actually Low Rate Initial Production is a "descriptive term", the F-35 hasn't yet launched into "Standard Rate Production", so not so much a developmental milestone? as a statement about production rate...
Not sure if it is a new bird, but definitely a new photo. Here are some more.
