Reading that have me chills. That must have been incredible to watch, I’ve only dreamt of seeing the early motoGP racers in action!

On the -25 they are, I thought Panavia had incorporated a variable inlet a lá F-15, but I could be mistaken. My dad told me numerous stories of his time as a weapons mechanic for the -111, it was fast enough to seriously burn the paint. Evidently, a -111 pilot decided to drag race an F-4 pilot...

Pardon me whilst I reinsert my eyeballs into their sockets. I’m in love with the way the artist penned Kaneda (and all of the pieces, really). It captures the spirit of each character perfectly.

I’m ogling the machine, wondering what kind of speed it’s capable of. Very sleek.

Yeah, I know. Pathetically small compared to the 16-piston, 8-cylinder Fairbanks Morse Opposed Piston engine I worked on years ago.

That’s what really does it for me, along with the swing wing design, the single rudder, and twin engines. The intakes remind me of the Panavia Tornado.

Ah, c’est la vie. That game is insignificant compared to the power of this fully operational...I mean this exquisite display of artistry blended with science!

That would be even more fun. Monster torque coupled with the row-your-own gearbox!

They definitely have big wings, and the wings, swing. Always thought swing wing designs were cool, albeit complicated.

While markedly different, the basic profile of the Su-24 reminds me of the F-111.

Perfect! You can take the asphalt, and I’ll keep rescuing people stuck in the mud. (I’ve done that a couple of times now)

It looks sleek, compact, and wickedly fast. The last part being the most true. Seeing an R1 up close and personal, it’s not massive, but it’s also not small.

Maybe so. The software’s oh, say, about 7 years out of date.

Impressive aircraft, fantastic flying by the pilot. Being aboard, though, would be a harrowing experience.

All of a sudden, A-Ha started playing in my mind...

That certainly seems to be the case. Another example of the Monday/Friday engine.

It’s a great engine. I’ve driven the 5.9L HO, it felt like a freight train was pulling the Mega Cab Ram down the road. Be cautious of the transmissions (some of them had problems with their torque converters due to shift point mapping) but overall, a great truck to drive.

I stayed the course through his first season, once I got through that, I really began to enjoy his style. He comes into his own toward the end of his first season and shows substantial growth in his second. By the end of his run, he really did become my favorite Doctor.

Nice touch.

After becoming attached to the Tenth, I couldn’t get my head around the Eleventh. And suddenly, he became my favorite, even more so that the Tenth.
