Hahahahahaha, if she keeps punching it right there, she might want to stand back in about 90 seconds or so.

When female sharks seductively whisper “I want you inside of me.”, it pays to mind your manners.

I would be suspicious that his wallet might be secreted nearby, or in a plastic baggy that they’ll find on him (when and if they find him).

Somewhere, Chapman is nodding approvingly.

Too, it makes a huge difference to productivity if you are not being bombed to shit. Russian output was extraordinary as well once they were out of the reach of Germany.

A headache for the president? To suggest that our current Arsehole in the White House gives a fig about civilian casualties borders on hilarity.

Yeah, they are used to hunt bears, then a goddamned big rifle is used to kill them. If you haven’t seen them hunting, you haven’t the slightest idea of how powerful a big polar bear is.

It was a modified DFS Habicht glider that was used for conversion training.

I don’t recall Opitz ever mentioning the use of the 2 seater, virtually all of the pilots were trained on unpowered single seaters or a glider (I don’t recall the type) that had had its wings shortened to equal the descent characteristics of the Komet. I’ve no doubt they existed but it sounds like the Russians put…

Superb article but you need to have a better understanding of what brought about the Max 8 crashes. 

Check out Avions Fauvel. 

I’ll tell you what, when you read enough history of tank battles, a case could be made that it’s often safer outside the tank in wartime.

True, but in fairness, I assumed that you didn’t read books.

And if the Vought XF5U is accepted as a flying wing I think the list is basically full of shit.
