An old bird but still looking very cool

I always have mixed emotions trying to admire engineering designed to kill people. I took this photo up at Iluka in northern NSW Australia. These old rockets with wings do Mach 2.5 making the F/A-18′s we have look a little slow at Mach 1.8. Don’t worry you military heads out there because Australia is buying Joint strike Fighters and some F/A-18F Super Hornets to add to the 24 F/A-18′s we have already.
