The Aircraft of Fallout REMASTERED

Bro thats insane! I actually remember leaving that comment ages ago and thinking nothing of it and here we both are. At the time I remember I had < 2K subs aswell. Nuts!

There are a few mods that connect every scattered piece of the megaton plane, it actually fits together like a puzzle and creates a complete model

As an aerospace engineer, the seats could slide back so the pilots can get in. It's a fairly common feature in commercial aircraft nowadays.

The Brotherhood's biggest mistake in the Commonwealth was putting so much faith in their "air superiority". They seem to primarily use their vertibirds as forward assult instead of rapid transport.

The P-80 can be explained by looking at it’s trainer variant, the T-33. In our world, they were used for decades after their official retirement in the USAF. It was apparently a fun aircraft to fly. Many base commanders found ways to keep one or two around for joyriding/proficiency training. The Air Force had to make a major effort in the late ‘80s to track down and retire them. So, it would fit that the aircraft at Rivet City could have been exhibits on the carrier. The airframes seen at Andrews and the one that crashed in Point Lookout would easily fit in as retained older models for training/joyriding.

My theory for the Shooting Stars is that they are kept as museum pieces and used in limited-service reconnaissance service, similarly to how the Hawker-Siddely Nimrods were used by the Royal Navy even when the original design was 70 years old, and Lockheed Constellation derivatives are still used to this day in limited service by some militaries. 100+ years is a really long time but it’s not much more than we have seen in real life, and in a resource-starved war torn world I can see it happening, and there’s nothing to disprove the fact that the remaining planes could just be reconnaissance planes or museum pieces. I can also understand the C-47 cargo plane, it’s derived from the DC-3, which remains in active service all over the world despite the design nearly dating back 100 years, and many people who use them say that “the only replacement for a DC-3 is another DC-3.” It’s possible to me that the design really was so useful that it remains in service even in the 2070s.

It's funny how the Boomers can't even maintain their solar panels, but can restore a giant airship that has been sunk for over 300 years.... lol.

Fallout has always had that feeling that it's a how people in 1950-1970's view the future. You can see it by Television being small, black and white, car designs still being those form 1960-1980 but updated to look futuristic so it wouldn't be far off for the Army to also be using crafts that seem old to us but is actually normally used and advance for those in Fallout.

As a pilot and as a massive fallout fan the Radking has given us the holy grail of videos

It’s really fascinating that there is so much information about the aircrafts of Fallout, it’s really cool that there is so much detail in these games!

The section that you were looking at on the Vertibird Bear Force One and calling a door probably was only an access panel for use in maintenance. The 'oval' sections you mentioned after, the one with wires leading to it, are more than likely the actual access hatches themselves, with the wires leading to electromagnetic locks or, otherwise, some more 'normal' locking mechanism or motor mechanism that would allow the pilots to open the doors without getting up. In fact, at time 11:42 when you show the view of the outside, it's fairly clear. The section on the right side of the oval is the hinge, and the section on the bottom is more than likely a set of steps that rotate down to make entry and exit easier.

I can offer some insight for the pilot chairs, on Chieftain Tanks the driver position has a similar space problem. So they made the seat fold back until its flat to allow the driver to enter and exit the seat.

Hello my Brother in Atom. I have located a aircraft I haven't seen anyone cover. In Vernon Square, a location in Fallout 3 you'll find a small creater truley bathed in the almighty glow of Atom. It contains a mostly intact US fighter jet of some kind, with its nose section open for viewing.

I have to agree with rivet city being a dry docked aircraft carrier. Maybe even a museum that gave tours. Also love the close up on the Chinese aircraft, that one was new to me.

I gotta say the comment highlights are genius. Giving you more time to videos and a great way to interact with your audience.

For the shooting star a few things, Due to the fallout alternate timeline the shooting starts may have stayed in military service longer. And Liked by servicemen and stayed for training purposes. Many may have been upgraded instead of being phased out. Possibly kept for Air National guard and or kept in military reserve service as backups just in case to be issued in a hurry if the US went to war and needed immediate backups or to field additional units we didn’t have. The same thing could be said about many firearms in military service where a stockpile of older guns and gear is kept just in case typically for National guard units that tend to not have top of the line gear but use older equipment previously pulled from frontline service. Your theory of the Aircraft carrier in River City having been a historical museum is definitely possible, except I would expect to see different kinds of military airplanes. I personally got to see the USS Enterprise Museum ship in New York City (Not the Star Trek One, lol) the Enterprise is a former aircraft carrier that is used as a historical museum with a ton of various military aircraft on board, including the other USS Enterprise (The Real Space Shuttle)

JP-5 is an actual type of fuel, we use it in the U.S military and it's got a different name when used throughout NATO counties. Just a cool idea that the name continued after being changed.

22:28 the jet liner could also be based around the concept plane "Flying V" which places all passenger seats inside the wings

11:25 one possible explanation is that the seats lean back. If you look at the back of the bottom half and the bottom of the back half you can see there’s enough space for it to recline, maybe to get in and out, they recline the chairs then incline them back when ready to fly.

I hope in the next fallout game we see the Chinese fighter, maybe they make it look like the yak 15, and see a sci Fi version of the f86 sabre, maybe with reverse swept wings
