A challenging photo shoot no doubt.

A formation flight with No 1 Squadron (1SQN) F/A-18F Super Hornets and a Bristol F2B Fighter (aircraft flown by 1SQN in World War 1) commemorates the SQN’s Centenary and marked 1SQN's first operational sorties on 12 June 1916. The Bristol F2B Fighter was provided by TAVAS (WWI vintage aircraft society) and flown by Jack McDonald. The Bristol was painted in WWI-era 1SQN colours and had the tail number B1229. The tail number was flown by Ross McPherson Smith who achieved 10 of his 11 victories in this aircraft.

I was taking a look the other day at the TR-85M1 Bison tank manufactured in Romania. I is a Romanian T-55 tank with a lengthened hull, redesigned running gear with six dual rubber-tired road wheels and four return rollers per side, with the idler wheel at the front and drive sprocket at the reareight telescopic hydro-gas shock-absorbers to increase the overall speed and aMTU 800 hp engine of the Leopard 1.

The tank also has ammunition storage outside the turret with blast doors. Curious that it still maintains the 100mm copy of the D-10T

Does anyone have any thoughts about this vehicle and its performance compared to other upgraded tanks such as the M-48/60, Leopard 1, and AMX 30 etc?
