I fully agree - I think perhaps that people are missing the “Most of the clerks were completely OK with gay marriage” part, which is really the interesting thing about this.

The airbase in question was the major maintenance facility for the RAF in those days - they normally did this sort of thing as a “thank you” to the ground crew who had been fixing it. Here’s another example or two.

Virtually impossible in Germany - the rules are crazy there. He should have moved to the UK, as we are a little less strict.

But they look so pretty on full reheat.

UK Phantoms had the Spey anyway - we needed the extra power to take off from our teeny-tiny carriers.

I think Subaru should have a go at the RGT class with a BR-Z WRX model. The RGT class is great because it is relatively unrestricted - 3.4kg/hp power to weight ratio limit, and RWD only.

I was curiously mesmerized by this article. Are “bondo” and “primer” colors of nail varnish? If so, I can have nails that match my car!

And the 911 GT3 doesn’t have back seats. Sold!

Russian Pragmatism - they wanted a bigger cockpit (it has a toilet!), which upset the center of gravity. Rather than move the wing, they just put something heavy on a long pole at the back to get everything back into balance.

Based on the evidence, I’d say about two hours.

A millenial with a car is driving around in an ‘08 Corolla because they spent all of their money on a Macbook. The only people who will buy a new “lifestyle” car like this are boomers, who will appreciate it because the suicide doors make it easy to get out of with arthritic knees.

You’ve also got the Audi A3 in there for the UK.

I’m actually the Secretary of Defense, but thanks for fighting my corner!

It’s all to do with the “Homer’s Car” syndrome again. It’s one ejctor seat for all versions, so the ejector seat has to be able to pop the pilot up above the door for the lift fan on the F-35B at the maximum speed that it is open, which is up to 250 KIAS AIUI. That means that the seat needs quite a lot of force to…

I have one question about all this - Do Martin Baker have a department devoted to making the awesome music for their videos?

IIRC the helmet is so large that they can’t turn their heads all that much in the cockpit. So that might be an option.

I believe his point is that, if you’re British, that sentence would have been properly constructed:

Words seem unnecessary.

The real problem with this is that Russia is probably right to support Assad. Terrible man though he is we are going to need his help, or at least acquiescence, to beat ISIS.

You put a wood gas generator in the trunk, which solves the fuel issue. Lubricants won’t be a problem for decades but the big problem will be tires. They can be handmade, but I have no idea how it’s done.
