In front of you is a Ferrari F430 Scuderia, a Porsche 997 GT3 RS, and a Subaru. You pick the Subaru.
Eww? Fighting words, sir.
E86?
The Nobska! I knew every inch of that boat when I was a kid.
My guess: tried to dive, pressure hull finally caved in from all the rust and they went into a terminal dive.
ANY German luxury/sports car. Let someone else take the depreciation hit.
Simply that a vastly complex plane, which was practically invented from the ground up and with lesser resources available than today, took less time and went through less teething pain than this piece of crap.
Except it's not a plane-to-plane comparison.
Fucking hell. Kelly Johnson designed, tested and built the SR-71 in four years using nothing but slide rules and black coffee, and every single part of that plane had to be invented first.
Pull the Stennis right up to one of the islands, drop anchor, and conduct flight ops for a few weeks.
Yes, I know the carrier needs to be moving to conduct flight ops, just go with it.
I jumped out of a cargo 727 a few times at the World Freefall Convention in the mid-90s. They had removed the air stairs and the plane circled lazily at altitude, just above stall speed, spitting out jumpers one at a time (you could only get one jumper down the ramp at a time).
Is it me, or are all the Lambos starting to look like Aventador Mark __?
We could always restart the Seawolf class
The sad fact of the matter is that the Air Force never wanted the mission, let alone the plane. Give it to the Marines or the Army.
