OMG so many videos!! Bookmarked in folder "aircraft porn" :)

When watching this video at full length I first thought "I do admire the work they are putting into it, but man, is it really that good?who would pay that much for such a thing?" And when I arrived at about 14 minutes I pretty much understood why and who might want such a thing. Great video of a trade I once wanted to…

Yes, of course you are right, and your image of a spaceship makes more sense than the game version. To me though it would seem to make much more sense to build a workstation in geo-stationary orbit, connect it to earth via elevators and build some thing up there that doesn't have to defeat 1g of gravity to leave orbit.

I'm pressy sure its because of the harness and the wires. They are attached above him while the floor moves underneath him. He's basically moving along the same spot.

I just can't imagine them to be watertight. Aren't they supposed to be?

And this is space travel that would get me excited.

But that's how many gallons of water California's three-year drought has sucked from the Earth

I would assume the jump was also a validation of the Jump School in general. Since the whole "jumping-out-of-airplanes" thing is not really the most modern way to bring men and their equipment into a combat zone. I guess they didn't want to lose that asset for never having used it.

Thanks for the laugh, I just checked what you meant, excellent :)

Very cool video, thanks for posting.

My god, I'm so sorry for all the US taxpayers, having to sit by and watch this debacle unfold unhindered since it's "too big to fail". You have all my sympathies, maybe some day this will all be finally over, until then, best not read any more about this plane that I refuse to accept as the successor of the truly…

So it is a dangerous place, I get it, but I love the tone of this film, very much a different point of view compared to the usual documentaries. Thanks for sharing :)

Those two 10 minute videos of the debrief are awesome, thanks for posting them!

All a matter of lobby, sadly...

Is it just me or is she cute? She can dogfight me any day :)

Ireland is home to many big company headquarters, maybe that's the reason?

As I always say in cases like this: don't like it? Don't pay for it. It's the only way to change something these days.

All in all, over 2,000 tons of old bombs

Also this:

Wow, I never thought of that. You really do have the better job in a C-2, if not the best!
