Honeywell is huge...

Not to be an additive mfg naysayer, but this technology has a long way to go until parts can be loaded up safely for a reasonable life cycle. The day that the FAA certifies structural 3D printed parts is the day a LOT of us go out of business.

That might be, quite possibly, the most terrifying thing in the world depending on how close the Viper gets to the jumpers.

When you meet the industry folks who attend/judge/spectate things like FSAE, Hybrid, Mini Baja, etc, don’t just shake their hand and take their card. FOLLOW UP, and give a tidbit like, “Hey remember me? I was the dude with the cool thing at the place, yada yada, do you have any jobs in your department that might work?”

"You worried about FOD? Add more power."

Chris Harris, Sabine Schmitz, and Chris Evans. That lineup I would watch.

All these spoilers, I can't help but be...

Use them for target practice, just to tell Iran, "Oh look, we can afford to blow up REAL carriers."

165mph perhaps, not 265 of course. I can attest that a 2002 Boxster S can reach 145mph until you run out of room. I am unsure of its true limit though. It felt pretty stable even at 145, and had some more to go.

Forgive my ignorance, but what happens if a surface vessel gets close enough to board or scuttle the SH (undetected)? Are there countermeasures in place to prevent, I dare say, piracy?

The aftermarket for this is going to explode. 450hp boosted ‘stang? Don’t mind if I do.

I'm not saying the rest of the components are bullet resistant, just the torque tube :)

I can't speak for the tail rotor itself, but I do know for a fact that an Apache can fly with multiple direct hits to the tail rotor's drive shaft/torque tube. From a DShK.

What's your niche?

Still don’t care; I just rented the previous version. It was ok, terrible handling, slightly awkward seats (I was not the only one who thought that). I don’t expect this new one to be any/much better.

A union doing shady shit? Nahhhhhhh

Is a signed affidavit enough to compel the dealer to eat crow and pay for the timing chain service/repair had it actually not been done?

Meh you can hit O-4 in about 10 years, span until about 17 years TIS, so you could have a ~40 year old MAJ on the high end (assuming normal career path). I hit O-3 in 4 years per the normal schedule, so yeah I would have been an early 30s MAJ, but I can see how others may be on different paths. A fighter pilot though?…

Yessir, 5MT.

Atlantic Blue Pearl love! Mine is the non-Limited, but still lovely. Just had the head gaskets done, put in Group-N mounts, sooo nice.
