It is a very disappointed Putin on the Ritz. Yes.

It’s the face Putin makes when Putin reads Foxtrot Alpha

By “off-road” they mean “in a parking lot.”

In many ways, its easier to fly (or easier to make it easy for a pilot to fly).

Tandem/Coaxial Main Rotor: Raise collective = go up. Stop raising collective. Lower collective to approach the ground.
Single Main Rotor: Raise collective = nose now pointing to the right (or left). Apply pedal to oppose spin, start drifting…

Many good want to discount Russia... But the play the hand they have damn well. Even if we don’t agree with his actions, they are no less artful in their execution.

HA! I missed that! Good catch. I never made it past that blazin’ tan chicken.

The real problem is that the same image IS ON MY DAMNED STATE FLAG in 2016.

(Needless to say, don’t really care for the “Heritage” or Hate” of that particular symbol. They both suck.)

You might have a hit single on your hands there buddy. Give me some more rock-gibberish!

On a stupid/serious note... it’s really bad that while looking at the image o’Hetfield on your post I’m just like “I wonder what kind of wood that guitar is made out of. Got some burled-walnut look at the top... but just... not…

Like a metal-Samson...

And so true.

Don’t get me wrong, pretty much everything I wrote in my post was for shits and giggles, but yeah... the Black Album aka “Metallica” was pretty fricken awesome... and... the last bit of awesome from them in my opinion.

Used ‘79 Pontiac Firebird.

Nothing says “Give me fuel, give me fire... give me that which I desire” like a flying brown chicken from a dead manufacturer.

*insert Hetfield “YAH!” at the end of every pause above*

I have to agree... particularly a black Hellcat. As far as cars go it is the zero-fucks-given-moar-power-raging-electric-guitar-solo of american cars.

It’s a vulgar affront to niceties... which is metal.

TL:DR version:

“My name is bongoboingo and I didn’t read because it’s too long. I then complained that what little I read did not tell me the whole story.”

If only there was a solution for reading too little...

Yeah. I used to whine about rubber necking up north (all rrubbernecking is terrible), but down here... woo... slow down a whole Damn highway if someone is even changing a tire sometimes.

Look at Ricky Bobby go!

It is a sad state of affairs. What is always surprising is that I know and even get along with Russian troops. Generally good dudes and good soldiers. And the people of the U.S. and Russia have that same ability to get along...

Christ, that is accurate.

The last time I talked to the curators at Fort Rucker Alabama they were still looking for funding to expand the present museum. Which in its defense is filled with a lot of rotary wing aircraft.

The handlebariest. Brother, you might even grow some leather-wrapped-driving-goggles and a red baron scarf.

Morgan... What did you do!? You amazing, eco-ballsy, Brit designers!

Sioux Warrior —- The is the test bed for what became the Cobra.

Another vote for Wraith here. Goes well with the AC130 Spectre/Spooky/Ghostrider, etc.
