Then again, I’ve also got various devices for work named things like:
Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Bumblebee, Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, Micheaelangelo... you get the point.

Yeah, that’s not really an uncommon vehicle. CHP still uses a 4th Gen Camaro interceptor. As Joe Stevenson pointed out, in years past manufacturers gave vehicles to the host departments. GM had a C5 during it’s intro year cruise, Dodge gave out Chargers when they were re-introduced, the F-Type Jag & I seem to remember…

Two things:

1. WHAT BLASPHEMOUS ASS DESECRATES A LIMELIGHT SUPERBIRD BY ADVERTISING A HEMI SWAP ON THE PAINT!?

2. Did any of the Jalop staff/Jalops get pics of the cop cars? I haven’t been to a Dreamcruise for at least a decade, but the first few always had some sweet cop cars “donated” to the host cities. Troy also had…

Came for a Big Trouble reference, not disappointed.

Couple hundred pounds I’d say. They had to remove them via a crane system on the A-10. The Egress guys did all that work, I just made sure it was pinned before I got in, and unpinned when the pilot came out to the jet.

I always heard, “Meet your maker, in a Martin-Baker!”

The ACES II seat, used in most modern USAF fighters, is a 0/0 seat. Meaning it’s rated to perform at 0 feet altitude and 0 mph forward speed. Technically, it would work if engineered into the cars correctly.

From a friend at JBA, there was supposed to be an exercise, but it is a real world event. Probably causing some confusion. He’s still sheltered in place.

Apparently there was an Active Shooter exercise scheduled for today at 0900L as well. Maybe someone made a mistake and didn’t get the memo?

I didn’t think so. I’m not 100% on if the 162nd out of Tucson has some, but that’s for their tenant unit IRRC. Been a few summers since I turned wrenches on the line.

Explain. Because just recently a friend was flying out to ranges in Germany on UH-72s.

There’s reports that it will take over the armed scout role that the Kiowa had, but it’s supposed to replace the Army UH-1s as well, which is listed.

Eh, it’s just like the Warthog. Unofficially, yeah.

Also, I’m pretty sure no USAF/USN F-16s fly conformal tanks.

It’s missing the UH-72 Lakota...

I’d just end up writing about the A-10 forever. Sigh.

There was an asshat in a C7 Corvette at the opening day of Exotics@Redmond Town Center, the large, weekly Exotics meet here in the Seattle area.

The Vette driver did something similar as the Mustang. Luckily he didn’t hit anyone/anything. Here’s what E@RTC’s organizers put out:

“Regarding the immature self-absorbed guy…

Nope.

Might be a little overkill should an errant aircraft run afoul of the no fly zone(s). Last year a civilian aircraft accidentally flew through one when Obama was in Seattle. Two F-15s from Portland scrambled for that.

Seen, and they’re already loading into the black helicopters. Better have the poutine ready for them.
