except that even new F-16s and F-15s are going to be closer to the F-35 in cost than you think and have some significant deficiencies in contested environments that would get them killed where an F-35 has a good chance at surviving. Its got problems its not perfect but ordering anything less than 1000 would just be a…

except that most of the time when one engine goes they both get taken out... I think there are some instances it doesnt happen but its probably more the exception than the norm.

Your not even considering airframe stress... many of our fighters are already over their rated airframe hours and many have already had to have expensive service life extension programs to give them more flying time... fighters arent like bombers they break the body eventually as start falling apart, trying to keep…

Yeah I had terra grapplers on my 2004 2500. Im half afraid to see what they will run as 18inch tires for my 2015.

Since I moved to florida I agree 100%, adding that apparently turn signals are for decoration, and its perfectly acceptable I guess here for 3 cars to run a red light before its truly a red light I guess.

I’ve owned all types but my current truck is a RAM 2500, I drive it every day as if I am paying 45K+ for a truck why not. I own it for yard/farm work, and towing my 30ft camper.... I have done some minor things to it (tinted windows etc), but I do try my best not to destroy it so I am sure some think it never works…

True for some...or it could be that they have you know actual work to do and have a truck. I know this is truck hating jalopnik, and in this video yes they appear to meet the stereotypes, but there are millions of non-lifted heavy duty trucks doing actual work. Most of us dont act like a brodozed d-bags, but like many…

that and cargo planes generally dont worry about the same kind of things, they generally aren’t facing SAMs well non IR ones, they generally dont have the airframe stress of fighters bombers. I mean look the first C-5As came out in the 60s and if they really wanted to pay for them they still could be flying, though a…

Heck, I’m not a stoner nor have I ever been but even I chucked in 10 dollars..It was an awesome movie and I want it meow.

To each their own... but Id rather not have any of the cars posted in green....

Any lime green car ever

I believe in a clean configurations the block 52 could just barely on a good day (or so I had heard) with the newer 32,500lb engine they probably could.

They have delivered well over a 100 I think 100 were delivered by the end of 2013 and its still considered Low Rate Initial Production.... I mean geez it has its problems but its not like they aren’t starting to be out there in significant numbers.

Consider I have actually worked on F-16s in a war zone ...you dont know what the F your talking about.

Yep, tons of pretty nice RVs for well under 10, may not be super nice but better than a van.

I dunno my 30 ft bumper pull was a 2012 (i bought it in 13) for 17K it has a queen bed, 3 bunk beds, indoor kitchen and a small outdoor one... sure it has a few things that have needed fixed but finding nice RVs in most of the US for under 10 is not hard. A friend of mine bought a pretty nice pop-up for 1000 and but…

Sure you can. I am currently living in a 30 ft RV I bought when it was one year old for only 16K and have honestly more room than I need. You could easily get a 5 or 6 year old 18ft or smaller for under 8 maybe even under 5. They depreciate like crazy because a lot of people like to get newer ones ( and sometime the…

They can and do low altitude CAS when needed... its still a 20mm round perfectly capable of giving you a bad day. but yes the A-10 is a lot larger... but considering low strafe are often aimed at people I think 20mm does just fine.

Yeah cause A-10s are the only planes that can do it.... A-10 is a great plane but its not freaking magical.

F-16s always use external fuel first so they are allowed to pull higher G’s taking hundreds of gallons of gas (370 per tank) and trying to maneuver would not normally be advisable.
