To be fair- those STOL planes are radically modified to do STOL competitions. Whereas this SuperCub is a regular plane that has been lightened.

I would add that the site for STOL conditions is special as well. There’s a steady breeze off the sea, meaning the airspeed can be a lot higher than the ground speed for take offs and landings. For this stunt, the wind around the building wouldn’t be a stable with some strange cross winds. So the stunt is pretty…

I have seen an STOL airplane land flying *backwards* relative to the ground at an airshow. Steady 35mph wind, <35mph stall speed...They really look like a ton of fun, and of course if you are going to crash, the slower the better.

We’d have to see the bodycam of the cop who backed off. The driver was armed. The cop who was grabbing him didn’t have complete control of him. Did he grab for the gun? The bodycam footage might show it. His gun ended up out of the holster and on the floor somehow. He wasn’t wearing it when they pulled him from the…

The fallacy here is that sovereign citizens would consider themselves exempt from any sort of gun control laws and would be armed anyway and would respond with lethal force in any attempt to impede them. Even if guns were absolutely banned today those dipshits would be armed and the result would be the same.

Sovereign Citizens and related movements don’t so much scream “mentally ill” as they scream “Nobody can tell me what to do”.

Where’s the moral outrage about an obviously mentally ill person being unjustly kill by (multiple) police officers?

I feel aweful for everyone involved here. For the loss of life, for the loss of a son. For the officers who have to live with taking a life (leaving out whether or not it was justified...you still gotta live with that).

I have to disagree, the driver threatened the officers, then reached for a firearm that after the event was on the floor on the passenger side. the only way that gun moves from his holster to the floor is if he was pulling it from the holster so this was 100% a case where the force was justified. He intended to shoot…

That he chose to go with “yeah, I post a lot” rather than “I was hacked” is jarring in both its honesty and hypocrisy.

Oppressor on the streets, reply guy in the sheets.

“should not “imply something sinister or inappropriate about a great-grandfather’s use of social media.””

A 69 year old high school janitor was killed by a hit and run driver just outside my town on Monday night. It was the day before his 70th birthday.

Considering how those supersonic plane builders are “talking the talk while not walking the walk” with zero planes in their inventories, I’m not holding my breath they’ll produce actual planes.

“Get off my plane!”

Drive sloowwwwww so that they go around you.

Anecdotally, I feel like Honda/Acura has aggressively bright headlights. Back when I was a teenager, my parents had an early ‘00s Acura TL, and they got flashed constantly by people thinking the high beams were on. Fast forward to today, my last couple cars have had pretty bright (IMO) LED headlights, but I don’t…

If I had a nickel for every time the inside of my skull got X-Rayed by an oncoming Acura MDX...

Maybe it will be powered by a 130hp motor to really get that DMC feel.
