Looks fun but I’ll take my lifted coupe with an inline six and transfer case thankyouverymuch

The Germans actually built two prototypes of this sort of jet, the EWR VJ 101. Both made successful flights in both hover and transition to forward flight, and the first prototype, the X1 (below), broke the sound barrier without afterburner. The second prototype was fitted with afterburners but the project was…

Nashville Superspeedway. Opened in 2001 and now it sits essentially unused, which is a shame because there are no open track days in Nashville

I’m in Austin and was watching this broadcast live. His wife had sent in the video about 30 minutes to an hour earlier and it had already been broadcasted. This was their follow up interview with him, which I think is why they assumed he had been rescued instead of still being up the tree.

It said in the corner that it was courtesy of his wife. so I’m assuming he took a clip in his car, emailed it to his wife who was at home safe, who gave it to the news.

A downpour-inspired 180 and mom’s ‘69 Corona slid off the road, landing in a gas station just inches from the pumps...inches, I tell ya! It never shifted the same after that.

Agree! Scariest car I ever drove was a friend of a friend’s Datsun B210. Holy crap that was scary! Not even at freeway speeds!

Memories of my first car, a 72 El Camino. I only drove it for 6 months and I never had to change a tire, but to this day I know how to use a bumper jack because my dad made sure I knew how before he gave me the keys.

I mean...they did whip a stealth Blackhawk out of nowhere for the Osama raid. I’d bet a cookie that there are a few more “evolved” platforms in the stable somewhere. Not sure how practical it would be to keep a carrier-based fighter secret, though.

The actual A- nomenclature results from the original Project Gusto (where the entire reconnaissance project(s) evolved from). When each design iteration of the a/c occurred, it would be called Archangel-1, -2, -3, -4, etc. etc. The final evolution to reach production was the CIAs Project Oxcart A-12 (occasionally…

This was a CIA aircraft, not a DoD aircraft. The internal codename was “archangel”, and this was the 12th design iteration of the series.

Someone who gives another driver a courtesy wave can be held liable for a portion of the damages. Happens everyday. Typically it gets assigned 80-20 to the driver-waver but it's a total coin toss depending on the case going anywhere from 100-0 to the opposite.

I've actually stood on the raised wooden platform in the '80s on Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB) in NM.

Ahhhh.....the arid desert air at the NM trestle program. I went TDY there often with my B-52G (57-6487)

Really Tyler? Really? An article about bridge layers that doesn't include this?

There's no need to redesign the Mangusta, it just needs a few touch-ups to look contemporary again:

Brazil!

Do we know 100% that this issue did not bleed over to '05 models?

You are crazy, and that's ok.
