I bet it's as simple as removing the motor mount bolts, firing up the Merlin and pinning the throttle until it departs the airframe.

So good to know. Mine's been stuck.

"There are no laws on the books in California saying it's legal or illegal for motorcyclists to split lanes..." Or in other words, it's legal. There's no ambiguous middle ground, not in the U.S.A. anyway. If no legislature has made an act illegal then it's not. Legal is the default condition.

Tyler, I love the articles that you write, I really do. But, can you please, for the love of all that is holy, proof read and edit your shit?? Thank you. Keep on trucking amigo.

"There's not much you can't do with vise grips. You can loosen bolts or screws with them, tighten bolts with them, pull nails, (and hammer them in if you don't mind abusing them) and hold things together. They make great impromptu handles too."

Lucky the feds have that whole southern border thing under control and can waste their time on hyper important things. Good job ICE!!

I think you mean "nearly hit a whale."

I'm confused by the tactics, as it really isn't a fight for control of the airport if you blow shit up. That would be trying to destroy the airport? Does one group not want it functional to hurt the country economically or did this occur during the battle and both sides would like to control the airport?

The point isn't that Congress would have to approve the AF's decision. It's that if the USAF was foolish enough to buy an Airbus to serve as "Air Force One" [sic], it would bear the brunt of an vicious bipartisan outcry in Congress. The USAF isn't that dumb.

Also: Air Force One is the call sign, not the model, of the…

I think the two contributing factors are that the turbine temps start to increase very quickly, and there's concern that if he (or any landing harrier) were at part/hover throttle and they bounced an outrigger gear off the deck, the aircraft could destabilize quickly. By throttling back they're essentially committing…

Because Germany is a back to back world war loser.

Why doesn't the whole world speak German? Such a cool, intimidating language. Aliens wouldn't even think about fuckin with us if we sounded like that.

I'll tell you what's next - "you're fired!"

I'm amazed the cop didn't ticket the guy he hit and weasel/corruption his way out of any fault. The last time I saw a cop rear end someone it was a biker with a helmet cam. The cop proceeded to yell at the biker for being "too slow" in heavy, slow moving traffic.
