Hey - everytime this faakin awesome HOSER says “MUCK” we all take a shot. OK?
That’s not rust, the airplane is aluminum. It’s just shit-brown paint. However, this is a turd that deserves polishing..
Ah yes, the 3rd world wowing the 1st world once again.
I can 100% see this happening. I had a Mercedes ML350 as a loaner car for an event I was at last year and found the gear selector in question to be extremely non-intuitive to use. I found myself continuously having to verify what gear, if any, I was in after flipping this lever up or down. Sometimes, it even felt like…
I was fortunate to see the start-up of a B-36 Peacemaker radial engine back in October. One hell of a motor. The owner called it "an angry beast that doesn't want to be tamed".
That man pooped himself.
I see Toyota Celica - early 80's

#obligatory turbulence story: Got clearance for a straight-in long final at KSWF's 10k' runway funway in a C150. I knew a C-5 had just gone in a few minutes before and was cautioned for wake turbulence. Figured by the time I got there it would have dissipated. My figuring was wrong and that 150 turned into an…
They did survive. I happen to own one. It's a flat-head V-6 with direct injection. It's a Mercury 200 capable of running shitty salt water through the cooling system!
Soooo uuhh. No getting girls in this car?
I was just a little kid in the 80's and never got to see one actually fly. In my mind, it was always "The new spy plane we had" - never realizing it's life was almost over. When was the SR-71 officially declassified and the public learned about it's existence?
