A bit sensationalist,

I think I wanted that set next. These space exploration sets are awesome!

My parents gave Galaxy Explorer to me on my sixth birthday (1982). Was one of the best gifts if not the best ever! Still have all the lego and should build it, just don't have the space right now.

I believe for trams in the Netherlands the power must be overhead. The bridges with overhead power I know about, usually have a system for the power lines to be cantilevered as well (streetview of bridge in Delft, the Netherlands).

Link to nice solar site in Spain. Supposedly the PS10 and PS20 sites are able to provide electricity to Seville and some neighboring towns.

You know what Kinja just sucks, can't even fix this mess....

Gilze-Rijen Airbase is not a difficult airfield at all. It just happens to have a road near the runway threshold. The runway has a normal touchdown zone. If you follow the standard 3 degree ILS glideslope it would put the aircraft at about 60' above the road. I presume the fighters which are flying so low over the…

Actually it offers relief from the hectic life in one the most crowded countries in the world. Combine that with the fact that you won't be deployed as much while stationed in Ft. Hood compared with working in the Netherlands. The rotation in Ft. Hood is really popular with pilots who just started a family. At least a…

Most probably showing off.

The emblem show the NF-5 is from 316 Sqn based at Gilze-Rijen. Although 316 turned to 302 Sqn which is a combined helicopter training squadron from the Royal Netherlands Airforce operating out of Ft. Hood Texas. 302 Sqn reactivated

I used to be based there. The tower would actually control a traffic light to have traffic stopped when aircraft where landing. Some people chose to ignore that traffic light. Although iirc the runway 10/28 is standard NATO length (+/- 2700m) with a normal touchdown zone so no need to be so low over the road as the…

Absolutely! It's not like the planes have to go subsonic speeds in order to reach supersonic speeds.

Oh they design other supersonic planes as well, like the A-10 and C-130 too.

Seems to me like a logic fail.

Scots prefer whisky.

Man... Where have you been? Mandela died two months ago. He died a hero.

Nope, not anymore...

Pretty broad spectrum. Got this of the Falcon III specsheet:

Maybe Virgin should stop rolling aircraft. At least at low altitudes...

The Royal Netherlands Airforce KDC-10.

I think you forgot a couple of zeroes... Doesn't discredit your argument though...

Buy the kits you like and now and the augment tour collection with sets of just blocks. That's how I did it.
