Avian vs Aviator

f111 vs pelican
Crikey! One of Royal Austrailian Air Force’s F-111 fighter planes had a run-in against one of mother nature’s larger avians, the Pelican. Result? Well let’s just say someone’s going to have a really expensive tax paid turkey dinner drop out from the sky. Kudos to the pilot though, for being able to land a plane with a broken nose. ^^; and although he must have gotten pretty hacked off when the bird hit the plane, he should probably be thankful that it didn’t smash right into the cockpit or a wing.

Gundam Battle Universe PSP

Gundam Battle Universe 
A new gundam PSP game will be available soon. The Gundam Battle Universe. This game is a sequel to the previously released Gundam Battle Chronicle. Rumour has it that the saved games from the old Gundam Battle Chronicle will still be useable in this game sequel. The storyline for the game will center more on the Gundam ZZ and Char’s Counterattack, however looking at the intro on its official site, looks like the F91 is there as well. ^^ By the way, official site found via Gunota.

Kurogane no Linebarrels 
Kurogane no Linebarrels (鉄のラインバレル) or Linebarrel of Metal/Iron is a mecha anime scheduled to be released this fall.
Looks like Kotobukiya wasted no time in their merchandise release though. ^^ Two of the mechas will also be released as 1/144 plastic models soon. The Reign/Rain Barrel? and the Aroma Aroma Idaten Konpaachiburukitsuto? Sorry, don’t know how to translate the katakana on the second mecha.
