This was what I used to work on in the RAF:

The Bristol Bloodhound, a British surface-to-air missile, was developed during the 1950s as the UK’s main air defence weapon and was in large-scale service with the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the forces of four other countries from 1958.

The Bloodhound served the RAF throughout almost the entire Cold War. The Bloodhound Mk I entered service in December 1958, the last Mk II missile squadron stood down in July 1991.

Did you not find it a bit difficult trying not to fall off?

Clave, you need to draw a plane and put snakes on it, throw in Samuel L. Jackson too. *ba-dum-dum-pish*

Clave, you’re a freaking machine with these fine illustrations. Maybe Freeverse will hire you to do the artwork for WingNuts 3!

(stuff happens when you are off sick and get bored)

Ironically that missile would probably have been designed to shoot down the plane in your sig (a Mig-25 Foxbat? Or the later Mig-31?).

Yeah, it was a Cold War creation, more against bombers than fighters, but at Mach 2.7 (2,100mph) it could pretty much take on anything…

You should stick a little motion blur on it in Photoshop and put it behind the MiG in your sig!

If it could only hit Mach 2.7, then the Mig-25 could outrun it. It’s top operating speed was Mach 2.8.

D’oh. In any case, I’m gonna request something with a custom paintjob like the one on this EA-6B Prowler, because it kicks total sexy legs.

With pink hawtpants.

That is pretty cool actually :D
