fantastic shot!

this angle really gives you a good appreciation of the LERX principle

Understandable. I imagine it’s during relief operations that the speed of those crews really gets tested.

Haha, I can imagine. All the adults are horrified and you’re there grinning in glee.

Thanks Tyler! Interesting convention this, clearly caused a few headaches way back in the day

a white submarine? It’s just begging to be nicknamed the Moby Dick

Interestingly, what Does happen with the Bosphorus strait seeing as it straddles Istanbul? I’m guessing it’s too narrow for there to even be a lane that can count as international waters, so is whatever traffic that passes through it subject to the whims of the Turkish govt?

That vent treatment sure looks strange. Maybe it’s the angle.

on another note, the boom mounted camera car still seems to be a Mercedes M class (I keep forgetting their new nomenclature). Or is it still the same original adapted M-class vehicles from back in the day? Are there only so many of these vehicles that they’ve ended up on any movie with a vehicular set piece? So many…

Those look like the crazy bright lights from the Veloci-Raptor pick up truck Jeremy drove in the last season.

Nice. Important work then. Does it take longer for bigger transport jets or for more finicky combat jets to go do a full check?

Jeez, that must’ve been something. May I ask what your role was? Were you a pilot?

11 C-5s? Wow, that must be something. And fair enough, you Do get up to double digits.

Oh I was just marvelling at the acronym. I don’t think there’s anything/anyone that would be considered unbiased when speaking about a project as contentious as the JSF

Have to look that one up. I’m unfamiliar with that reference.

Didn’t realise there was any hostility at all between Indonesia and Australia (makes sense it’s Indonesia, I initially thought of Borneo when I was trying to picture a northern neighbour).

Trashfire is such a great term! Completely agree with you on how it can’t compare to something purpose built like the A-10. I was just wondering If, the situation presented itself there might be some way to add protection to the jets. Otherwise I imagine for the country forced to go ahead with using their Yaks or…
