Since Minty didn't post one to start... here's one I took earlier this year at the Quad Cities IA Airshow - F/A-18D Super Hnornet at about 600kts. 
Good Luck!

Wow... post-911 that tagline is extremely eerie.
I didn't even notice it until right before posting...

Re: Hey Adminds! more airplane photos. Date: July 15, 2007 05:05PM |
Well played, Bernie!
I am that Masked Man.
All you can do, is all you can do.
There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.
Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.
Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.
I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.
We are a government of laws, not men.
Everybody counts or nobody counts.
When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.
You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.
There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.
We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive
An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.
You make me pull, I'll put you down.
I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

Ah the P-38 is a personal favorite that never makes the top ten like the Eagle, Phantom, and Mustang do.

And the Hughes "Spruce Goose" is HUGE.. and a beautiful aircraft (though it never flew any higher than the awkward Ecranoplan, above....)...
You want a BIG cargo plane?
I give you, courtesy of the Soviet Space Agency...
Mirya. The only Antonov AN-225 every built.
Not pretty.
But moves cargo that nothing else can fly.

Re: Hey Adminds! more airplane photos. Date: July 15, 2007 09:01PM |
Oops Paul! Can't link to airliners.net photos.
I've often wondered how viable the Hughes HK-1 (Hughes destested the Spruce Goose nickname) was as a flying airplane. Knowing how meticulous Hughes was, and how talented his engineering team was, I'd be surprised if its performance was below expectations. But we will never know.

One of these flew over my house today. (Airshow nearby) The old "Cold War' reflexes started to kick in, the heart rate went up for a while...

Re: Hey Adminds! more airplane photos. Date: July 15, 2007 10:55PM |
Well... Not hte same pic...
But... I present:
Mirya, the AN-225. 9 meters longer than the A-380, and can carry a much heavier load.

Here is size comparison. The AN-225 does not seem THAT much larger, to me.
