“Jeep of the skies” and all.

Rawlings catcher’s leg guards? Those standard issue now?

isn’t this where Tyler should queue up the “shoot me an email” phrase? would really love to see a story about the exploits of the EC130 — i feel like I hear less about it than I do RIVET JOINT etc.

I have a 5 year old Garmin eTrex — runs off GLONASS or GPS.

No wings required

“Its not survivable” - I always love this one. The frickin thing was designed to fly with no hydraulics, 1.5 wing, one engine and one of two tails, and one elevator. The F35 can’t even refuel if it’s fuel isn’t the right temperature.

Anyone know what the munition next to the AIM-9 is at 2:13-2:14

Also, as a data scientist — it’s about making data relevant... 90,000 square feet isn’t meaningful for scale anymore than 500,000grams is to the average person... 2+ acres and 1100 lbs is.

Most shipping related metrics are governed by international conventions - they use tonnage.
Military systems use metric system for warhead weight and weapon caliber...
It is just the way it is.. it’s not like he is going to standardize everybody else’s stats for a single article ya freaks.

What is funny is that you are French, correct? Your National Police force literally wrote the textbook on counter-terrorism operations (GIGN) within civilian populations. As the wikipedia article goes on the FNP: “a branch of the French Armed Forces, in charge of public safety, with police duties among the civilian…

I still remember waking up early that morning to those MH-60s thundering over our house in Wash Park like “wt holy f”... it was sooo cool though.

Ha, touche. I saw it randomly - not a big twitter guy. The intel specialist interviewed on Phase Zero has it right: Iranian’s want Range Rover’s and Gucci - not war, there is no sensible military option: the deal needs to be done.

Have you seen the tweets the Ayatollah has been putting out? It’s a total joke to them how desperate the admin is for any sort of foreign policy “win”.

Great explanation, thanks.

I am super confused about the lineage of the -23 vs. the -27 ... they look the same yet I assume the -27 was somehow better — was there same reason everyone fielding fighters from that era stuck with the -23?

I have to ask honestly as I simply don’t understand - Given the case that the B-52 airframe is still flying and doing a theoretically tougher and more diverse set of missions until 2030... Then why do we even need a new tanker airframe (with the same theoretically less diverse mission set) to begin with? I just don’t…

d0es that count as a soft kill?

Saw Greg at last year's Wing's Over Wine country in Northern, CA ... Great act!
