It would ALMOST work if there were some sort of beam deflector to split off the main beam in more of a Y shape with the main blade coming up between the uprights.

Ther can be only One!

How true...

Hey, when your turbo goes, what the heck else can you do but try to laugh about it?

Hey Torchy? off subject as all heck, but you might wanna check this out...

Now THAT'S my kind of traffic cop!

Dark Curtains, if your room happens to face a streetlight!

Screens! Screens everywhere. That's what you get inside the Audi Prologue. On the dashboard display, to the left of the driver, in front of the gearshift, in the center of the dash, and on the right-hand side in front of the passenger. It's definitely clean and attractive, but does it spell the end for buttons?

That... Kinda looks FUN!

Wouldn't it be amazing if everybody is wrong and things get better? Yeah, unlikely, but what the hey?

Combine GTA with this and you've got a wild game.

Going from Viginia to Oklahoma. Heade south to avoid snow headed our way. Missed turn that we should have made but found out the area was impassible with 15 inches of snow, so, dodged that bullet by mistake.

That was a mistake on my part. left a sentence out about tilting the props forward at 45 Degrees and doing a rolling liftoff. Many helicopters, including the Sea Stallion do a rolling launch when heavily loaded. What I meant to say and what I tyoed are in complete contradiction. I'm still trying to figure out…

Huh, that's new to me! Part of stealth is the use of exhaust cooling systems. Did they simply decide not to use that or is it not usable during take off? I also thought that part of WHY they were going to the F-35B was that they wanted a lower exhaust temp for both launch and flight. (IR seekers suck majorly!)

Darn! For a minute I thought it was another part of the Canadians eventual plan to invade the US! I mean, why else would over 90% of their population be gathered along our Northern border?

I've had the same think happen to me too Roger. As large as this is though, it doesn't really strike me as a fully independent operator. While it may launch boats itself, it kind of looks like it would probably need a mothership as well.

I'd love to see that info on the flight deck not being able to take the heat of either the F-35 or the MV-22, as the Harrier exhaust is comparable if not hotter than the F-35B. (If they didn't design the eck to take at least the heat of a Harrier take off, someone SERIOUSLY screwed up! In fact, I was under the…

Tylor, the V-22, which has been used in combat, while still having a few more bugs to work out, seem to be an aircraft that the marines are becoming very happy with. Were they available, knowing many of the marines that I do, they would be more than happy to replace half the F-35s that they are getting with A-10s for…

It is possible that the first two of the America class are also intended to eventually replace the LCC type vessels such as the Blue Ridge and the Mt. Whitney, both of whom date from the 1970's. the additional volume not used by the well deck area would seem sufficent to accommodate additional officers' quarters,…

This is partially true, but the addition of air to air refueling capibilities that both the V-22 and Sea Stallion type helicopters have, makes the strike craft range limitations much less of an issue than it has been in the past, and the newer LHA designs are significantly faster and more nimble that those of previous…
