People these days have forgotten how to have fun. A couple weeks ago, a C-17 was coming back from training. It was cleared to do a couple of touch and go at the local international airport. The pilot lived nearby so he did a couple of low passes over the soccer field where his daughter was playing. It was a couple of…

Dump truck, troop carrier, same thing. Any vehicle is an asset worth destroying.

In the helicopter crash that I mentioned, it was 7 fatalities. These folks transport at least a hundred people per day. The fact that they discovered the improper maintenance on almost all the aircraft put a lot of people's life in danger. The issue with maintenance personnel was discovered again 6 months later in a…

It's a problem because it holds up insurance payouts, lawsuits, corrective actions, etc. The reports are done within a few months. NTSB sits on it for a year if there are no fatalities and up to two years if there are. Basically it's for people to forget what happen so by the time they release the report, no one would…

Gary Fadden's incident, road rage turn into full auto shoot out at HK facility should be number 1.

The problem with NTSB is it takes a year to two years before they finalize the report.

Northrup F-20 Tigershark. Quite a capable fighter, but politics prevented it from ever selling. People that flew it thought it was better than the F-16. Third world countries were more interested in buying what the US was using when the F-16 was offered up for sale. Northrup ended writing off the project as a $100…

X-29 program was like any other X-plane program, just a technology demonstrator. It was a DARPA project to test FSW. DARPA couldn't run the project. Air Force wanted nothing to do with it because they didn't want another YF-16 program forced onto them. NASA was the best suited organization, but eventually require the…

The only penalty that hurts is race suspension. Not showing up to a race cost a lot of points and it doesn't make the sponsors happy.

Or he can call in an air unit and have them follow them for a while until they get to the bar or where ever they are going and arrest them there. That has happened to a friend of mine where they were doing 100+. Got ticketed when they were at the gas station.

There are college kids from the PRC buying $6M houses in Los Angeles and driving Ferrari's to class.

Assaulting an officer is justifiable use of deadly force.

He should have forced one guy to the wall. Arrest him for exhibition of speed which is up to 30 days in jail and impound the bike for 30 days. Don't need to get all of them.

I went to one in San Francisco. It was great because the event was in the morning and Fleet Week started at noon. So basically an airshow from 9 in the morning till 4 in the afternoon. No tickets required.

When is shooting at things not fun?

LED light brightness is controlled by PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), basically they flicker on and off. The less time they spend off, the brighter they are, we're talking milliseconds here. When the frequency at which they are modulated happens to be synced to the camera's frame rate, they will appear to flicker on and…

Mexico was first.

Since you already have to break the law by drafting off of other vehicles, do what Car & Driver did many years ago when the original Honda Insight came out. They got like 120 mpg beating everyone by a huge margin. They got one of their support vehicles, a Chevy Astro van, bungee the doors open, blocked off the…

20,000 miles is considered high mileage? I used to drive 50,000 miles a year.
