and contrary to belief they get hit and that doesnt mean they are flying again the next day... many of the ones in the gulf war had to be scrapped. Any major hit IF it gets home will take weeks to months to fix.

Always sucks to discover rust has ate your brake lines when getting off the interstate at full speed hit the brakes and it goes straight to the floor... and your furiously down shifting and pulling the e-brake to not destroy the back of some car..... made it with about 2 inches to spare....

I definitely agree to a point but most brakes on bro trucks are designed to stop said bro truck plus some sort of heavy load... I am sure it affects it no doubt but thats probably least of the issue when considering the stability losses from the COG. I say this as someone who has owned a mildly (3 Inch lift with…

You can get the 2500 and 3500 in a manual too but they severely kill the torque when you do. It goes from 800 to 550, they argue its so they can make the clutch soft enough that most people wouldnt complain.

Please drop a load here I need more SKS ammo...lol

They are also quite loud, the seats may look comfortable and some are better than others but they mostly suck....especially the edge seats... though they are slightly more comfortable than C-130, or C-141 seats.

C-5 Says “Nom, Nom, Nom”

He was just trying to test the flex and thought....who needs an RTI ramp....I got stairs.

Really???? Audi especially has some pretty damn fast diesels

I thought corona was a CIA program much like the U-2 and SR-71/A-12 were initially.

There really is a simple solution to this...add something to the chair similar to a ballast pack... smaller pilots could bring it with them to the plane hook it to the chair to add weight....problem solved maybe even like a weighted booster seat...just an idea.

Ill be honest I dont think I ever saw any that small even the female pilots were probably mostly at least 130 and at least 5’6 or taller. Cargo pilots Ive seen smaller but as others have said I think its pretty rare and its a new test.... so its important but definitely any kind of major issue.

The 1978 Chevy Chevette.... a car scary with 63 Hp down right frightening I would imagine with a 427 and NOS.... I also remember a few back in the day with 350’s and one small block 400 with a tubbed rear wheel area....lol I’m sure its not what you meant but impressive in a crazy way.

I highly doubt the Japanese and Italian tankers have zero shielding. It was pretty much standard that main systems were usually at least Coax, many were Triax, and even Quadrax cables are fairly common to help with stray voltage/emp.

Lots of reasons for that and its on both sides of the isle... if they could every stick with a design and not modify it 400+ times while its still be built (minus safety issues or gross oversights) most crap wouldnt cost so much, also wouldnt hurt if they would accept 95% is good enough versus the every increasing…

yep, I try to explain that to some of my friends... that as of now the “stealth” tracking radars are sitting, often nearly stationary, or take time to move targets waiting for an AGM-88, JSOW, or some sort of cruise missile to say hello.

Potholes the size of motorcycles

Yep, one of our pilots experienced this over northern Iraq, he was lucky to save the plane.

That and the article says they dumped their tanks so it took like .5 second minus being a model to know it at a minimum wasnt the sameplane.

Figures mine auto renewed about a week ago.
