Transonic, yes. Transonic is not supersonic. It's a regime of aerodynamic instability that spans both above and below the speed of sound. The F-14 in Chieftom's video was subsonic

Umm....didn't you post this already several weeks ago? Are you recycling material now?

The people that make this argument blow me away. I cannot actually believe they exist and have the presumption to complain about being spoiled on sporting events.

what'd you expect from rednecks? this built itself is flimsy and dangerous to the health of the driver

It's a bird,
It's a plane,
It's Captain Pedantic

This thing was terrible. The only redeeming parts were 1) Jeremy's story about his father, 2) the amazing scenery and 3) the amazing photography that captured that scenery.

Top Gear wasn't always immature and utterly stupid. There was a point in time pre-re-hire of Clarkson where it was a decent and fun bit of automotive journalism. Actually, kind of like Drive and what Chris Harris does. Clarkson made a deal with the BBC when the boring journalism format (it wasn't boring at all) wasn't…

Any chance the BBC will release an edited version where they remove the 99% of the program that is bad juvenile humorless jokes and leave only the five minutes that is actually about cars?

This bro walked into a dealership with 2k down and walked out with his new casket on wheels. I hope he catches a rock to the face, mainly so he can…

I hope to god one day he catches a rock in his face

OK... So how about a headline like this:

Your boss is wrong. Posting this kind of foolishness makes the site as a whole of questionable credibility. Grain of salt now to be taken with every flight club article. Sorry but you posted this, not me.

Slow Sunday?

I enjoy this blog, but giving theories like this any credence without a shred of evidence is really disappointing. I won't be surprised now if there's a follow-on post with the "truth" about TWA 800.

He's famous because he entertains millions of people.
