Planes don't rust Who knows when/where that stock photo was taken, but that plane needs some TLC. Technically the USAF AWACS (E-3) is based on an older plane than that A50 since it's the Boeing 707 platform. Link to comment

But, if that's not rust on the big radar circle on top, then it hit some pretty nasty stuff at some point in time. Link to comment

That dome is probably made of fiber glass though (anything metallic would be way to heavy), so it's just the composite showing. Still a bad thing as sunlight can degrade fiberglass. Link to comment

So we get the blessing of hating the germans and the commies! Which I why I can't wait to see those commies piss off Poland enough so that Poland finally gets their revenge. nazi soldiers did kill what would have been a great uncle of mine, in front of my grandmother who was just a girl...then they took her to a work camp for like a year. 4 Link to comment

Thanks. That makes more sense why you hate them so much. Not that anyone should sympathize with them right now, but you always seem like it’s personal. It is. 1 Link to comment

Even the former Soviet countries still have a lot of issues. E.g. if you want to get a driver’s license in Ukraine (based on pre-war knowledge) in any amount of decent time, you bribe someone, and then you don’t even have to pass the test. Or if you want your passport interview fast tracked you bribe them for that. There is a lot of corruption like that even in the local government, which is why I’m never surprised to see Zelensky firing people or having them arrested for stealing war funds. They had that form of government too long and still haven’t completely changed the mindset. Link to comment
