Dropping doctors has a much more limited efect on targets. We should drop something more dense and explosive, like politicians.

E91Ed isn’t saying that the House of Windsor does not have historical ties to Saxe-Coburg and Gotha or that English monarchs have often, not been English at all, the Kingdom of England has a rich tapestry of intricate and complex events, and its timelines has included amongst others; Danes, Saxons, French, Scottish,…

The Mustang. Went from this:

I'm surprised people still say this in this century. It's like you have no conception of how the airline industry works.

There is this guy.......

Actually, that record goes to Kenny Brack. 214g's survived from a race crash in 2003

I wanna bring up David Purley, who for a long time had the record for most g's survived. He was a British F1 driver and in 1977 he crashed into a wall at around 110 mph, decelerating to a stop in 26 inches therein being subjected to an estimated 178 g's. Sure he broke many bones, but the man survived. Figured this…

Tyler, A friend sent me your link. Thanks for the story. It was mostly correct. The bomber was stuck in Billings for 3 or 4 days! It was stuck on the runway for a day causing a partial closure (no tow-bar around), then on the taxiway closing it until a repair crew arrived from Ellsworth. We had a few days headaches…

I used to live in Broughton. The house was pretty much at the end of the runway. Most days, rain or shine, they'd have these going back and forth.

I'm on an Aston event at the moment, which started at Gaydon and now we're in Scotland. When we were driving around Gaydon, I caught sight of a camo-clad sedan that I thought could be the Lagonda... I was later told I was right, and no other journalist spotted it. I wish I had my camera handy, though I would've…

You'll never be a road cyclist until you stop doing triathlons anyway

Having been stationed at Eglin for 3 years, I can vouch for the weather inside the hangar being nicer.

I work for Chrysler/Fiat and we've tested vehicles in the middle of summer there. It's an amazing facility. At one point we dropped it down to -40F while it was in the mid-90s outside. Very bizarre walking through a door and having the temperature rise 130+ degrees.

My father works for Boeing, and went there for the 787 test. My mom and I joked that "cold weather testing in Florida" would be a horrible excuse if you were looking to cover up a trip to see a mistress.

The Irish Coast Guard already uses a variant of this helicopter for their missions, makes me wonder if it could be adapted to the US Coast Guard's missions. My only concern would be the sheer size of the helicopter. The Coast Guard's Jayhawk (Blackhawk) already is almost too big to land on the Coats Guard's ships...

In my "previous life" as an engineer at Sikorsky, I did a lot of work on this rotor system. The forgings for the rotor hub and sleeves were unfathomably huge and heavy for rotorcraft parts. We had pictures of the first 6-4 titanium hub forging still glowing red hot on the floor and it looked like something fired in…

Dear Paul Thompson,

Thanks everyone for your support and big thank you to Michael for featuring the photo. Somebody said the image is too small, and because you are right, here's a 4096px wide version:
