A lot of people forget to factor in what they put in the trailer... it doesn’t take a lot of food, clothes, beer, etc to add 500+ lbs on. My 30 foot camper is 7800 lbs dry with I think a 700+lb tongue weight even with a weight distributing hitch.... I go 3/4 ton truck because fully loaded its close to 10K especially…

As I am sure you already know but others might not thats why they have backup flight control computers... even the F-16 is totally reliant on its flight control computer for stable flight. In fact if I remember correctly the F-117 flight control computer was the same as an F-16s just with a different OFP. Heck many of…

Yep, I had a Jeep (Just empty every pocket) once.. seemed like every time I took it out I found the next weak point that needed fixed... SXS break but man are they fun... I haven’t bought one yet, but I have been on a few rides with friends and they are definitely a blast and designed to be beat on...they do…

Of course that means you would know the missile was coming... with some of our long range missiles, stealth, and better electronics...you better hope you see the missiles contrail because there is a good chance you wont know they are out there launching at you until it might already be too late.

Might help them to turn around faster and run...thats about it according to a few pilots I have heard talk.

Here is a good link to what is at T4 and some other info about it.

My guess is if ISIS somehow gets hold of this base... other nations will ensure its of zero use rather quickly. That and I doubt too many ISIS people know how to operate any sophisticated aircraft or SAMs

But your also not considering that it is now in most of the branches men’s PT standard are harder than female standards. I admit at 36 I have failed several of mine....but if a 20 year old women would have gotten my times she would have passed with an 88 out of 100.

I was in the 22nd in the 90’s I think they decommissioned the 22 and 23rd out of Germany and made them them one squadron in prep for the F-35 but I am not 100% sure.

I bought a 15 tradesman 2500 6.4L and added a few of the things I really wanted(uconnect 5, backup camera, backup sensors). I’ve got a shade over 10K miles on it now its quite a good truck for me as I didn’t really need a diesel since I max towing around 10K though in the eastern mountains and I definitely didnt need…

They do, but guessing by the burn damage I would doubt there is any left.

No mention of those intake tornado things either....

Well I lived in WV and compared to Ohio we have people driving top notch vehicles... Personally I am all for vehicle inspections your right it keeps the majority of crap boxes off the road even if everyone knows “that place” that will pass almost anything its more rare than ever.

Find me semi’s that can do 85 even 70% of their drive. We aren’t talking about 3000lb cars with fairly good aero. We are talking about driving bricks. Even in my truck hauling my RV going much above 60 maybe 65 starts going into massive gas mileage decreases. Then you have the issues of closing speed. Do we really…

I was wondering where gold beach was... I have only lived in Pensacola for the last month or so but I cant find gold beach nor have I heard of it. I heard they were filming this movie at least parts of it around in the whole orange beach/gulf shores area but was just curious because I am probably going to the beach in…

By far the majority of the Iraqi dog fight kills and most of the Kosovo kills were F-15s. In todays combat packages (or when I was in 1990s) F-16s and other multi role fighters are generally not assigned CAP missions at least from the pilots I dealt with and the appearance of the packages that took off. CAP from what…

I never saw that they were replaced, last time I saw the TBirds they were in block 30s... Interesting they would be in 52s as last I saw the Air Force didn’t buy 52s only 50s...Any more info on that?

Also you wouldn’t want to take fuel from the place you just delivered it to, but depending on runway length and flight time yes weight was probably a factor.

Yes, is the simple answer... C-17s even fairly heavily loaded can land in a really really short space.

I used to drive a Crew Cab F-350 in the 90s there with the Air Force... Germans move pretty quickly when a 2 ton large truck come up behind them at 110mph on the Autobahns
