Yes you could. Assume no air resistance (it is common knowledge that the Miata has a drag coefficient of zero). If you dropped it from an altitude of 632 meters, it would accelerate to 249 mph (~111 m/s) in 11.35s before instantaneously decelerating back to 0. Just make sure it doesn’t hit the timing gate at the end,…

Oh look, another company gave a bunch of summer interns a copy of AutoCad and told them to “get creative”.

I thought this was the plan all along. Between the F-22, F-15E, F-16, and F-35, the F-15C/D roles are all pretty much covered. And they’re getting old. It’s sad to see them go, but there’s no point flying a plane you don’t need.

Grounding planes for lightning isn’t all that unusual.

I will only buy a Ferrari with a tampered odometer and forged service history. I want the full Ferrari experience.

I don’t think it matters. If a small nuclear power like North Korea tried to fire a missile at us, statistically at least one of our many defenses (including those of our allies) would probably take it down - even if a few malfunctioned. If a major nuclear power - Russia - launched hundreds of nuclear weapons at us…

That looks like one of those bikes where you have to explicitly mention that it’s street legal.
