I'll never call it an Elbit A-10.

Dear Bloodhound SSC,

Please contact the former engineers at Fairchild/Republic Aircraft. I think they know a thing or two about protecting a cockpit from large, high speed projectiles.

Lunch is srs bizness in the TV world. During one of my recent work trips to Hawaii, the Hawaii 5-0 television show asked to build a set in a building we were turning into a field office. We were doing a walkthrough of the building we met with the construction crew (those guys are fast, btw). He was telling us how well…

I daily a 1981 Toyota Celica Liftback GT. It no longer has the stock 22R that's so beloved by "Toyotaholics", in it's place sits a nicely built 20/22R hybrid sporting some side draft carbs and a header. We'll come back to those carbs in a minute.

THAT MOOSE!

Pfft, it's NMC but on the schedule for tomorrow. The Cann jet is on B22, here's the list, grab your box.

Correct. In the Gulf War photos of 82-0664 (the lizard camo pics), I'm almost positive the pilot brought it back in ManRev (Manual Reversion). That means he did it with NO HYDRAULIC ASSIST. I've known a couple other pilots to do it as well, including two female pilots who are petite.

That's cute.

Luke has a couple. I might venture over there next week when I'm in town for work.

Already in work, and has been since the first rumblings during the FY 2014 BRAC.

Just got a report of a massive flood in Colorado. My guess is $kay just pulled a Pam Poovey.
Sploosh.

They only do that to GM SUVs.

When Drive put this up on Facebook, I tagged a friend who had a similar experience.

KB-29, KC-97, KC-135, KC-10, 747 test mule... I think that's it.

At least it wasn't Comic Sans.

No. Grew up near Selfridge and had a really cool school program that sent me to work with the backshops there when they had F-16s. I was at Davis-Monthan when I was crewing.

BigGator does bring up a good point. Trying to generate 32 aircraft, at 4-5 different bases is a monumental task. You're talking a few hundred maintainers (of all different specialties), logistics, weapons, ammo... hell, you didn't even factor in the tankers to your 32 ship package.

Eh sort of, Tyler. Here's how it goes (as I remember it):
