Except the B-52 was not a WWII airplane. It’s maiden flight was in 1952.

I was with you until “busy Idaho freeway.”

Did you feel the need to break out Land of Hope and Glory or have a little watch of The Day Today’s crisis video?

I’m British, and seeing images like that instills a small amount of pride in my skinny fame. Marvelous.

Obligatory Louis CK bit about flying. (audio only)

ALWAYS use jack stands.

Finally found a butt plug big enough? ;)

Oh good, my Adam&Eve order is shipping.

everybody who ever worked on an aircraft carrier, that’s who.

Not so much for its style (it’s only slightly less ugly than Boston’s City Hall) but Logan Airport’s control tower had, until the ‘90s, a bar and an observation deck. Apparently they were converted to FAA offices, because the FAA likes their view and hates fun.

Trolling? Poor attempt at sarcasm? Or just need some common sense here? I’ll spell it out for you real easy like. Drones are made of plastic, composites, aluminum and other hard, dense materials. Airplanes, even at low altitude on ascent or descent, fly at high speeds. Windshields and the pilots behind them don’t like…

The flying public can’t distinguish a Cessna 172 from an A380. Even if they could, they’d still be terrified.

The confidence of the flying public in air transport in Southeast Asia can’t take much more than this.

“Men are the ones who always think that they can “just climb across you” because “you’re small” and they “have long legs” as they brush their crotch against your face/boobs/defensively raised arm. I have never had a post-adolescent woman do that.”
