The fact that many of the items come from people’s homes make this museum sound just that much more interesting. I’ve come to the conclusion that most history buffs are by nature inquisitive (i.e. nosy).

One of the weirdest things about moving to Toronto was feeling like I lived in a movie all the time. My workplace was a common filming location; the street I lived on, also a common filming location. I knew about neither before I got there. Having my commute fucked up by trailers got old really fast.

Stargate SG-1, every planet was somewhere in British Columbia.

I knew Canada was huge, but that’s The Doctors telephonebox huge.

As a foreigner, I’ve learned that all of the USA is in Vancouver. Like when Mulder and Scully traveled all around Vancouver, or when the San Diego coastline was really in Vancouver in Psych.

I miss the days when the whole world, nay the hole universe in various series was basically represent by wooded area somewhere in Vancouver.

Scene: Nebraska

She has a blender and plenty of silly straws

Here. For. It! Anything she touches turns to gold.

There’s a big question of whether the capability of the SAR there depends on clear weather conditions, or if it’s equally capable through thousands of feet of dense cloud cover.

Synthetic Aperture mapping doesn’t have the kind of accuracy to reveal troop and firing positions for the most part. Would still need to get enemy troop positions (and friendly positions) from the JTAC. F-35 would then blow its ordinance load in about 10 minutes, which admittedly should be very effective, but is…

Then, along with his wingman, he’d release a barrage of SDB or Brimstone missiles to completely destroy all life around the compound and in any hiding spots.

psht, an A10 time traveler could go forward in time and fuck shit up

I think the story in question had the guy come down at over Mach 1 and then do a high Alpha 180 to sorta throw a wave at the ground. I’m sure if he did anything of the sort, it was awe/terror inspiring depending on one’s perspective.

There’s a Japanese novel called “Sengoku Jiei-tai” (unfort. link only in Japanese) where a platoon of 30 Japanese Self Defense Force soldiers with their equipment are sent back in time to the mid-1500s, during Japan’s massive civil war period. No A-10, but they have an APC, rocket based artillery and a combat…

Yeah, the presence of two planes in close proximity and low-visibility in close airspace was definitely the highest danger-factor for the pilots.

So true. The US really needs the A-10, and it saves lives of infantry.

Just give the damn plane to the Army and screw this inter-service pissing contest. They are the ones, and the Marines, that appreciate this beast!

Cavazos, the A-10 pilot, who was later awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for valor, told me what happened next.

This is what they mean by close air support. Would the air force risk their $100M F-35 to do the same thing?

Stories like this is why I am of the belief that any time an Air Force General claims that the A-10 could be replaced by the (insert name of fast flying delicate high dollar aircraft) they should be challenged to put their gonads (penis & testicles) on the line based on the results of a real world competition between…
