This is rough but all ideas start somewhere.

The thought of two B-29's plus the soon to be airworthy KC-97 from the Berlin Airlift Historical Foundation flying in formation is great one. It will be like the early days of the Strategic Air Command!

I knew it!

5.) A Race Around The World

Jingoistic view, braugh....the Unimog is known the world over, just not in the US. Like many Americans, you've applied a very narrow-minded, provincial view to the excercise.

It does add up, but you have to remember what IAS is. Indicated Airspeed is a measure of dynamic pressure and as such decreases with decreasing air density. In other words, the higher you go, and thus the lower the density is, the lower the IAS for the same True Air Speed. The aircraft may have a high speed through…

I just watched the trailer four times in a row with my seven year old. Is he ever jazzed! He notice the simarity between this new mech and Eve from Wall-E right way. His old man of course fell in love with the end sequence with The Falcon ten meters off the deck, kicking up sand on its way up to play chicken with…

This picture just captured everything that is right in this world!

The #1 rule of Flightclub is that we do not talk about cars here. The #2 rule of Flightclub is that we do not talk about cars here. The #3 rule of Flightclub is if this is your first time at Flightclub you must incessantly bitch about how we don't talk about cars here.

I have a 94 540i w 198K that still runs like a rocket and gets 25mpg from LA to Monterey fully loaded w adults w luggage. It drives no differently w the full load because of the tons of torque in the V8. The only time it stranded me was driving my mother in law to the airport. The fuel pump just gave up with no…

well, your question is somewhat confusing, although I do believe I made an error as well. we give the start time on the type IV as that would then apply to the holdover time starting at the type IV fluid applied first (and thus only on the plane the longest). we'll give the stop time too but its going to be the…

Im a de-icer AMA :)

The answer is simple: An older Disco.

Yes. In much of the world (not just Europe) the overall length of a truck is limited, therefore you maximise the cargo area and minimise everything else. Front engined trucks are not economic where overall length is restricted. In North America truck drivers frequently spend weeks or months in their trucks and so the…

I believe that it has to do with the way the loads are measured/regulated. In Europe (if things I've read in the past are true), the maximum length a load can be is measured from the cab to the trailer, where in the US it is just the trailer.

I would SO love to pull up to some redneck festival/fishing contest thingie pulling my bass boat behind one of these sleds.
