To support your statement, I remember watching a documentary about the introduction of the USAF F-15, and even experienced Phantom pilots transitioning into the Eagle still needed a lot of flight time before feeling as capable/lethal in the newer plane, despite the Eagle being a much more capable platform.

Thank you for speaking up!

It’s got 323,000 miles on it and got me through college with minimal upkeep and kept me out of car payments, so it’s a minor quirk I can live with =)

I can tell it hasn’t rained very much in the past month when my 1999.5 Jetta’s driver’s door makes the interior lights come on and the throttle body makes its calibration test upon opening. The first bit of rain we get and it all goes kaput.

I may be reaching here, but even with all the years of training a fighter pilot receives, his/her ejection seat controls are still painted in high visibility colors so that it is almost instinctual to reach for them in the case of an emergency before the situation can escalate any further.

Why shouldn’t this be the…

But really, this was kind of cringy and embarrassing.

Thanks for the bummer commercial, Honda.

Hi Tyler,

I have noticed that my car’s speedometer reading is usually 3-4 MPH slower than the readings I see on the LEO warning signs that display a readout of my vehicle’s speed. I drive the speed limit (according to my car’s readout) and it seems wherever I go, other drivers blow past me at an exponential rate. If I add a few…

That’s what I thought, but I couldn’t say for sure. I’ve had a few 4th generation cars before but its been awhile since I recollected any facts like that.

I always thought that the transition from the third generation to the fourth generation (93-94) in regards to looks wasn’t as dramatic as it appears at first blush. You see a lot of the previous car’s details in the fourth generation.

I kinda’ think GM should be grateful that people still care enough about the Camaro to get excited over leaked photos, especially considering the times in previous generations when it made for a more serious sports car than its rivals and still no one gave a shit.

But what about exportation?

This isn’t meant to initiate a flame war, but how does Russia’s military industrial complex compare to the US’s? Both are pretty expansive and I would imagine both country’s economy is dependent on the sector. I’m just asking out of curiosity.

There has been a lot of speculation about that and I think even Tyler has made the comment before that the information relating to that picture aren’t entirely factual or accurate. Even an EA-18G Growler has one of those marks because it was able to get off a simulated AMRAAM launch on a Raptor. I think there was…

If you start to pay attention to all the little details that made up the 4th generation Camaro, you start to realize it was a much better sports car than the same year model Mustang.

I know this isn’t pertinent to the test rig by NASA, but if Russia is scaling back on their T-50 program because of their economic recession and focusing more on developing the Flanker platform further, I wish the USAF would follow suit and keep developing the F-15 until the DoD and Lockheed can reorganize themselves…

As a soon to be graduating Electrical Engineer that really enjoyed his intro to robotics and controls class, this gets me all randy.

Something that bothers me is how STEM can provide a means to escape this cycle, but a lot of people come out of a broken public education system with a fear of math, science, & programming and into a world of academia that is apathetic to people who struggle with these core concepts and/or just the outrageous cost of…

I think you make some very good points. I wonder if it is relevant to compare the Soviet losses of the Mi-24 (which itself was a case study of the vulnerabilities the UH-1 suffered from in Vietnam) and the Su-25 'Frogfoot' in Afghanistan to the losses faced in the Ukraine crisis as well. I think there is a common…
