The Vulcan was a great aircraft. Key word - was. No disrespect, but how many fly today?

Jalop, a big aircraft like the B1 going that fast looks deceptively sllloooowwww. You should watch a C-5 take off. You'd swear it was going no more than 5—60 mph. It's liftoff speed is 140 knots and then it increases. C-5s appear to float up in the air, not fly.

Basic design rule #1: Function drives the form.

That was the former commander, full bird, who thought he had more skills and more brains than he did. That guy deserved to die. The other 9 souls I hope are keeping him in a special hell just for him. You can aileron roll a B-52, but you need to be way f'ing high to do it. Down on the deck is a suicide wish. I imagine

Thanks, ghost.

Our military anywhere in the islam world is a waste of time, money, and most importantly blood.

Where’s the American version of the Israeli Iron Dome? Oh, yeah, we don’t have one. I think that has something to do with the American elitist attitude of “not invented here”. That and the brass aren’t getting their usual kickbacks.

Archer, the Connie was never part of WWII. It did serve during the Berlin airlift, but never as a combatant.

We had a few of them on the Korat RTAFB ramps in 73. They were called the EC-121, but we all called them Connies. They were spectacular to watch take off at night. Those big recips pounding the air and flames flying out of the exhaust ports. What an amazing sight. No shiny aluminum here. These were war machines.

Hey Bonny, you need to understand the headline and the interview are diametrically opposed - totally opposite. The blond church lady is very happy with cars. She said it would bring way into the 6 figures. That church is mighty happy. No jerks here, well, maybe one.

20 years active duty AF and I only saw a flying Blackbird once. May 1973, Korat RTAFB, Thailand. I was in a hanger working on a F105G Wild Weasel when this ungodly roar came from outside overhead. I raced outside and barely saw the rapidly climbing and diminishing unmistakable aft view of the SR-71. Next time was in

Wowie-Zowie Smoothy, I surely did. Thankew fo the sapport.

Oxymoron - professional wrestler. They are actors, following a script. Sometimes people get hurt, just like in Hollywood. But it's all total bullshit. You guys go there to watch the plastic boobed babes. Some of you guys go there to ogle the steroid dudes.

Bullshit, I saw it on the internet and this shit is real, man. Those SS guys can really drive. They would smoke all those drifting assholes into the ground. Youtube even had this clip so I know it’s real, dude. Facebook too and those people are always straight. You naysayers are full of shit.

Yo, nitwit, I mean LOLWUT, you did it to yourself with the questionable ebay part. You would've been better off with JC Whitney.

Well, I am guilty of transporting 4 lobsters from Boston to SLC about 20 years ago. I felt a bit bad with the gradually increasing “sea” odor. At least they all survived alive until they hit my pot.

Why does it take so long for a BFO? (blinding flash of the obvious). Having to sit in the same cabin, hell, waiting at the same gate, with some selfish buffoon sending clouds of noxiously sweet smelling liquid nicotine into the air I breathe, makes me want to shove that phallus down his or her throat.

Was a real GTO made in 2006? Don't think so.

goddamn reservists. I’m out.

I hope I am, William. I would love to be wrong. But ask yourself, what is China’s endgame?
