Another reason is that if not landed perfectly the toe pick absolutely destroys the ice. Landing a back flip even slightly off can create a serious divot that becomes dangerous for other skaters.

It’s like the entire team simultaneously stopped to admire the fact they were playing in the most picturesque pastoral setting since “Field of Dreams”

Seems like a lot of work for just one flight? Flat-bedding it in pieces would not have been easier? But not complaining, this is pretty awesome. Airline Reporter has a great flickr page on it!

Just because it’s over central NJ should not rule out the Navy. In fact it’s probably just as likely since NAS Lakehurst often sees a lot of activity when doing testing for launch and recovery. For example, here’s an F-35 testing for catapult take offs.

Thanks! That photo helps a lot, I understand the ducting now!

So I get the idea behind the reverse flow, but why? As someone not fully schooled in powerplants and turbine’s in general, it seems that having the intake face forward would allow more air to be rammed into the compressor just by the forward movement of the aircraft. It seems pulling air from the laminar flow around…

Thanks...you rock...may you be blessed with many hours of the “Wings” series on American Heroes Channel instead of an I (Almost) Got Away With It Marathon.

Someone who flies rotary wing craft could probably clarify, but does the tailboom/tail-rotor assembly just go “Screw this, not enough torque to counter, I’m going to disintegrate,” or is the reason it seems to just shatter is because it was hit by a main rotor I can’t see.

However, it is sometimes hard to look at stories such as Mr. Carpenter’s and not feel extreme sadness. His experience is something something he volunteered for and hopefully understood may happen to him and…

YAY! Putting stereotypes to good use! Making friends, staying out of trouble and having a good time.

Also, remember that the JPATS was a partial result of not taking the Fairchild T-46 (Eaglet), which was pretty cool and kept a side-by-side cockpit. There’s one sitting at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Long Island.

OH NO! It appears there was just too much fire. It looks like Precious Metal burned down at a refueling stop at Marianna Municipal Airport in Jackson County, Florida.

Totally missed an opportunity to investigate the potential dumpster fire that will be the quarterback position this year. Not to mention any residual effect from the Kain Colter-University Union Busting Madness...WOMP WOMP WOMP

A good analysis of the WAR needs to have the strict definition of the "Replacement" or alternative. This is a problem often faced in behavioral economics, especially in Rational/Irrational Choice Theory. (Illustrated to some degree by the Sentra/Accord example).
