Below is one of my favorite pictures of the AWACS. Reason being, I hate the thought of crash landing, or ditching (crashing in water) an AWACS; and having that damn rotodome (the huge frisbee looking thing up top) come crashing down to crush my delicate head. This picture restores my faith in MilSpec (military spec­i­fi­ca­tions) that are applied to, and drive the price of, everything the Air Force (and military in general) purchases. We may whine when it's tax time, but I like the thought of living through a wreck like this. Enough morbidity, on to more pleasant pictures...
