Post a pic and explain why it could provoke a flame war
I'll start. This pic glorifies war machines of death and Amerikan imperialism

3. Is that an X-15?
That ain't about war and death. It's about aeronautical research and development that assists in war and death.

8. It's an SR-71 spy plane
No guns on it but apparently it helps point other guns in the right direction.

16. Ah, k
I didn't think the cockpit was that small. I've seen an SR-71 up close only once.

Come to think of it, the whole airplane was smaller than I thought. At first I thought it was a 3/4-scale mock-up.

24. What makes you so certain it's been retired?
It's a secret spy plane. Maybe they're still using it and not telling anyone :)

25. Well, the entire inventory is accounted for. Also, it used JP-7 for fuel
There are no longer any air refuelers in the world configured to carry that stuff (and the SR needed air refueling after takeoff to really be able to go anywhere)

Also, if you've seen the cockpit, it's now pretty ancient stuff.
