Falcon?

At first I thought you were talking about the top of Tyler’s post, and I was gonna say, “that’s Paine Field, dummy.”

3 engines rather than 4 was a big step, and then the ability to fly ETOPS on 2 engines rather than 3 was another.

Got it. Also remember that the 727 was originally sold as the “Whisperliner” because of the engine mounting, which...anyone who has heard one (or sat in the rear of one) will find hilarious.

Thanks for posting this Tyler. I had known it was happening this week but would have completely missed the livestream otherwise.

Whataboutism again. Completely different situations. Where was everyone else, for that matter? The US didn’t lead the attack on Qaddafi’s forces, the Europeans did. And I’m not excusing what the Saudis did there.

Nah. See, if we were Russia, we would have actually bombed the Shiites ourselves.

You’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel here with random internet videos with no credibility.

Yes, because that was a civil war totally started by the US. Yup, we’re somehow solely responsible for Qaddafi’s troops bearing down on Benghazi.

I can’t even tell if you know the bare basics of Polish history. You realize Russia has historically dominated Poland as a colonial overlord, right?

It’s different when Ukrainians overthrow a Ukrainian Russian puppet government than when Russian troops overthrow a Ukrainian government with popular Ukrainian support IN Ukraine.

All excellent.

I’m guessing that you’re a fan of the Jimmy Stewart film Strategic Air Command?

Yes, it’s truly shocking that some nationalists are neo-fascists, and that nationalists were in favor of kicking out Russian influence, given that Russia has historically dominated Ukraine. Yawn.

Yes, and the Russian troops in the Crimea weren’t overthrowing Ukrainian authorities until the Maidan revolution.

Yes, almost as silly as Poles acting like experts on Ukraine because they hear Russian news broadcasts.

8-0

Bombed civilians rebelling against a dictator who effectively started the civil war in his country? Well, no.

Not a threat to us directly, short of full-scale (and possibly nuclear) war. But making itself a direct threat to our allies.

How odd that you would say that, given that we’re not the country blatantly invading European countries.
