In 1972 I’m on a lake in a boat with a girl, as two F-4s approach at low level. One has an underwing fuel tank on fire, and drops it and two other tanks in the only adjacent lake that has no weekenders paddling about. (The fourth station had a pod with clothes etc.) Later I read the pilot had a 2 second window in…

if not succesful ADRAS-J3.1 will probably try to pick all of them up. :)

I mean, she obviously has some regrets.

Oh no, they let Tina drove the boat, didn’t they?

I’m going to start using that as a euphemism.

No shitter, no RV

Settle down, grandpa, or I’m crushing up a few more Xanax in your Metamucil than usual.

My wife’s cousin is a PhD marine biologist, works for NOAA on coral reef restoration after natural disasters and ship groundings, and is a huge surfer.

M/V Aranui 5 is a dual passenger/cargo vessel....

They do have upgradable modems - it’s a Telit unit, on it’s own tiny little daughter-board.

I’m gutted for Russell, he drove an amazing race. That was a good one.

If you’re small enough you can crawl into the overhead bins for a great nap

Man it’s the simple things in life. I love it.

I feel honored just to hear that engine in a YouTube video. A true automotive symphony.

The only protection against bad facades is a good guy with a gun. Wait, that’s not how that works. Anyway, you’re 100% on point.

There were serious problems with the approach, but the myth that it came within 150 feet of the water was debunked nearly immediately after this occurred. That altitude was based on ADS-B which reports based on adjusted barometric pressure which can unreliable. That’s why planes use a radar altimiter for terminal…

Huh huh. They said Wadsack. Huh huh huh.
