I have an LS2 out of an 05 Corvette sitting in my garage. The idea I keep coming back to is basically what you described. How bad was it to get it all to work?

Kelly would probably disagree.

Portions of the ISS are nearing 20 years old. While they are highly cared for, are there any special precautions or maintenance practices for these older portions of the station?

I've been in a number of jet engine repair shops lately and they all have Haas equipment in it. The guy is very successful.

I watched. I’ve watched since about 1988. This new system was a mistake. The teams simulate things to the Nth degree and they all knew this was going to happen. The more cars on track means the more variables in play. Traffic, yellows and drivers putting in a stellar lap add to the mix. Going back is the smart move in…

It is great to see people start realizing that engineering is an art. Sure, you have to be able to show your math, but it is still art. The creativity that I have seen my engineers come up with is astounding. The real challenge in my mind is understanding when you have reached “good enough”.

They will all be on Alderaan one sunny day meeting with fellow rebels, including Senator Organa, and then...

I'm drinking a taquila sunrise right now.

They weren't two seaters either.

True, but even F-16s make transcon/transoceanic flights from time to time.

It sure shows how tiny those things are. Lack of gravity might help if you had to spend longer periods of time in one, kind of like a Soluz or Mercury capsule, but longer duration flights would suck.

Remove and replace both damaged Inlets, thrust Reversers and fan cowls. I double the engines will need to be changed unless the damage got into them. Doing a hard landing and side load inspection on the pylons and that should be ops to go. If they got into the gear that is trouble, but there are spares available on…

Because yes.

Did it or didn’t it?

You can see where the air goes in, kinda, but no idea where it goes out.

Too true and the T-Birds and Blue Angels tend to fly older gear. That said, paint is paint and even the paint looks a bit rough.

Looks like it is AC #8 and the two seater has less internal fuel so it gets a tank. I wonder if they had a VIP up with them?

It is interesting how rough the paint looks on the planes. Particularly the upper surfaces. Also, anyone notice that one of the planes in the formation at Daytona had a belly tank?

Smokey beast. It would be interesting to see what it could do with a more modern engine

Marshall did good work on that one. In the middle he mentions the Dinner with Drivers interview with Braun concerning Level 5. It is a must listen. The money that was being spent was insane.
