That seems like an eternity for a road warrior. I used to see how short I could make my stops, only relieving myself and buying minimal grub when I stopped for gas. I enjoyed the challenge of seeing how far I could go in a day’s driving. About 1,200 miles was my steady-rate comfort level for one day of well-rested…

Silly commenter, the RMS Titanic and the HMS Jeremy Clarkson sank over a century apart!

“Are you reading this article, or were you looking at the Woman in the Red Dress...?”

I don’t know your friend personally (actually there’s a not insignificantly minute chance I might), but from what I’ve seen/experienced, and from the guys I talk to on a daily basis, the grueling schedule of ‘being home’ is far worse on esprit de corps than being deployed.

Another outlet says that the rocket was launched ~35 minutes after Iran gave notice to the U.S. (unsure via what methods), and the trajectory was parallel to the ships’ course.

Your first two sentences are completely wrong and misinformed, at least for this interaction point (daylight at a busy airport in a country with a lot of international military movements). The rest of your post points to the most intriguing part of the article that even Tyler seemed to gloss over. The DoD wants it…

Not sure it you’ve been to Africa lately, but everyone you see walking out of the forest to see the hubbub of activity at any airport (dirt LZs included) has a smartphone of some type. As you travel toward the city centers, you realize that dirt huts are being used to sell everything from cell phone service to tv and…

Got one for my wife and I right after our honeymoon. She was a bit hesitant to ride, but rode pillion for a couple hundred miles, at most. Now, 17 months later, we’re expecting our first child, and I realistically don’t see her desiring to ride anytime in the next 10-15 years...

I went to an in-residence professional development TDY with one of their pilots. He was really a great guy, no fighter-pilot mocking intended. Every once in a while, he would drop his fighter pilot ego mask (he was able to do that because he was the only fighter pilot in our group) and talk about his wife and two…

No, they definitely won’t be putting that much fuel so far from the CG, when simply releasing their cargo could change their CG so much.

Not sure if you’re talking about the majority of the Gawker Media staff, or the dude-bros in this video...

If ever there was a case for a Hi-Lo acquisition mix in the modern one-size-fits-all ‘waste-era’ of military aircraft procurement, re-fuselaged S-3s and new V-22s could possibly make great complimentary stable mates.

I think this is the third time I’ve seen this account written on FA/Giz/(i09 too??).

Both VanWagon and Ace are accurate, but so is “Toyota Van.” My parents had an ‘85 “Totota Van” (as all the owners manuals referred to it as) that was the first vehicle I learned to drive in the late ‘90s.

I’m a military pilot, and one of the dudes in my squadron survived an airplane crash and an ensuing rescue helicopter crash, both in one day. That was in his previous platform. I’ve flown with him and feel extra safe that statistically, he’s not going to crash again.

If you saw what not using a zero/zero ejection seat in a dire moment might do to a human body, you’d definitely reconsider...

Because of minds like yours and mine, they'll probably have some sort of verified bidder process, or maybe that auction site already has that (I've never bid on warbirds before...) to prevent it from hitting 9 figures by the end of the auction.

Being that’s a Herc he’s flying behind, I don’t doubt he’s on the unfavorable side of the F-35B power curve and hence at a higher AoA than his design cruise speed, but have you seen vortices like that in any other fighter during straight and level flight? Normally you only get that during maneuvering of some type, or…

Check out that high wing loading in level flight...

You must mean like the CV-22s in Transformers which were filmed at Kirtland AFB (IIRC), or the C-17 filmed in *Name Any Recent Marvel/DC Movie* with DoD coordination, or the time sitting USAF Chief of Staff Gen. Ryan starred in a StarGate SG-1 episode, or the time in the movie Stealth where they filmed a huge prop on…
