You’re right about parking in BFE when visiting an automotive plant. My previous company provided me with a new Ford every two years, but I had to occasionally service equipment at the Bowling Green, KY Corvette plant. The walk from the non-GM driver’s parking lot is about 1/3 mile. Not too bad, but I’d have to carry…

Rotary cruise missile launcher.

B52, B53...whatever it takes.

With the description of the engine as being on the “port side” I assume Dynamic Airlines has something to do with some country’s Navy.

Draw up a plan for a jet with upside down wings. Then we can watch the Chinese steal the plans, make a copy and try to fly it.

What exactly does “Strike” in the name “Long Range Strike Bomber” imply? Will it have a different mission than the B-2?

April 12th, 1981, I was in my first week of Air Force basic training at Lackland AFB. Sitting in some classroom (I dunno, the proper way to tie your bootlaces) and the instructor turned on the TV and said “Nobody watches TV in basic. You’re the first.” On came the shuttle launch and it was full of sweet awesomeness.…

“...those who breathed the fumes and touched parts of the Vega 31’s smoldering carcass would probably get gravely sick in not so many years.”

And then there’s the Jet Fuel Starter (JFS) which the F-16 has.

APU’s provide electrical, hydraulic and bleed air for ground operations and for starting the aircraft. If you ever had to push a dash 60 or a mule around the flightline you would think APU’s are heaven sent.

Missing rivet at 8:30 of video.

Its 2015 and people still don’t know how to hold a camera.

How long before Russia loses a jet, whether to ground fire, maintenance issues or operator error? The statement blaming the US is probably already written, designed to create international pressure to force the US out of the region.

The license plate was stolen from my bike when I lived in Las Vegas. The thief put the plate on his bike then robbed a convenience store. The cops chased him and he fell off his bike at high speed in an intersection so he probably had pretty identifiable road rash. Since I hadn’t ridden my bike for a few days and…

Does anyone think the Russian’s have a policy on NCD (attacking targets that No Collateral Damage is allowed) or is it going to be “Nyet, tough shitski!”
