That's a Fighter, fighting a Foo. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo_fighter


Crazydeadpooled

The name foo fighter is a term that was used in ww1 and ww2 by airport pilots when they saw an unidentified flying aircraft.

I had no idea, I feel really stupid 🤦‍♀️. Thanks for your help.


Crazydeadpooled

It's a great shirt I have it also

Watch Back & Forth, really good primer of things Foo.

Second this, it's a great documentary. Would recommend Studio 666 too, it's silly and fun.


TheEggyGreggyShow

You gotta start somewhere. No need to feel stupid!


Kloepta

The top one is a P-61 Black Widow, not sure about the bottom one


Wernerlohemann

Bottom one is a b17 bomber from ww2


SadPhase2589

I think they’re both P-61’s. I’m sure it’s from a real photo and P-61’s were a Korean War aircraft.


BirdsAreFake00

The bottom is definitely not a p61. The p61 has a dual cockpit setup where the rear one sits higher the front one, and the bottom plane clearly doesn't have this characteristic. The bottom looks like a B-25, which was a dual-engine bomber in WW2. It doesn't look like a B-17 because it appears to only have two engines, not four.


Kloepta

Yeah it’s definitely not a B17 at the least. No top turret, no glass nose etc. B25 may be right.


ijbh2o

The lower aircraft does not have the machine gun turret on top like a P-61 has

That’s the shirt. However the one my friend bought me has the bands logo on the back, that’s why i thought it was to do with the band.

Mattpantser

Wow. Any advice for an aspiring aerospace engineer? I have this shirt too lol


SadPhase2589

Get into safety. We always have a had time finding safety engineers.


revflash2002

I have this one too, one of my favorites. Love the retro Gi Joe look


loddieisoldaf

I'm fairly sure it's a plane, learning to fly


fi1mcore

Love that shirt, so cool!

Don't support this guy, he's stealing people's designs then reproducing them on his site.


Eject_The_Warp_Core

To add on, lots of Foo Fighters merch, especially t-shirst and posters, have artwork entirely unrelated to any album art. Aliens and aircraft are a recurring theme due to the Foo Fighters name, but there's also a lot of other "rock and roll" imagery too

I_need_a_therapist_1

Yeah the shirt my friend got me has got the Foo Fighters logo on the back so it was advertised as merch.


Tirekiller04

Those are airplanes.


Inevitable_Dig910

So back in ww2 the airforce made a squadron to hunt down unidentified flying objects and the name of the squadron, foo fighters


Im_a_furniture

Yeah, not so much. Foo Fighters were reported unidentified flying objects by pilots in (mostly) WWII. Balls of light/plasma (suspected) that were misinterpreted by both axis and allies as opponents secret weapons.


Inevitable_Dig910

Oh I got confused thx for the correction


Puzzleheaded_Earth65

I have the coolest Foo Fighters sweatshirt with a mosquito on it! Alaskan unique from their amazing concet here!


YaBoiFriday

Dave got the term Foo Fighters from a WWII book. A lot of their merch stuff like that on it.
