An unsecured cockpit flag unfurling across a pilot’s visor and controls would be a pretty incredible way to lose an airframe
Don't worry, that's the pilots old lucky cumrag. Stiff as a board, it won't unfurl any time soon
LOL before zooming in I thought the first one was a nativity scene.
Why is it always the same rectangular piece that has the art?
It might be a removable cover for an avionics bay. That would make it a lot easier to paint on an easel or flatter surface.
The dankest of nose arts lol
This right here is why non stealth planes will always be cooler to me
I love the Hephaestus pilot's little camel stuffy. I wonder what the story is behind it.
That's the WSO. Guy in the back is just a decoy.
"Take Humpy with you, dad. He'll keep you safe!"
What? No Icarus?! "Fly, on your way, like an eagle, fly, touch the sun"
Hermes was never violent.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermes
Hermes's epithet Argeïphontes (Ancient Greek: Ἀργειφόντης; Latin: Argicida), meaning "slayer of Argus",[75][76] recalls the slaying of the hundred-eyed giant Argus Panoptes by the messenger god. Argus was watching over the heifer-nymph Io in the sanctuary of Queen Hera, herself in Argos. Hermes placed a charm on Argus's eyes with the caduceus to cause the giant to sleep, after which he slew the giant with a harpe.[14]
Hermes the giant killer?
Why no Artemis? I would think they would have an affinity for the hunt.
Even Apollo with his bow and arrows.
I dig Kratos instead of Aries. And as much I love Athena, the blunt force combat side of war seems more appropriate for these guys.
HOWEVER. If there is a female pilot, her call sign should be Athena and she should have Zeus on her plane, so whenever she gets out she'd be emerging as a fully formed warrior from his head.
That was before they broke into his house and killed his dog. Now he yeets Sidewinders.
Hermes the type of guy to gift you with insanity drown you with wine then ride your corpse like a surf board.
A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
