Not so much. When I was at the 2001 Paris Airshow, the An-225 was grounded for a number of days after it blew at least 6 tires upon landing at Le Bourget.

The three major contributors to F-14A maintenance needs were:

Below the hard deck doesn't count.

Better song:

"There isn't enough thrust in Christendom to" turn the Aardvark into a fighter.

Um… You're replying to a 2-year old post… in which I cited Nature's then-two-year-old article detailing the terrible mis-management, significant cost overruns and delays which have plagued the JWST and how that has negatively affected NASA's non-JWST astrophysics programs.

My sister ripped the legs off of my G1 Optimus Prime, when I was 7 or 8. I still haven't forgiven her.

I learned in a 1965 Mustang with a 3-speed mated to a 2bbl 289cc V8, sans tachometer.

F/A is a designation that was made-up by McAir so that the Navy could justify to Congress why it should buy the slightly re-worked loser of the LWF competition, rather than a navalized F-16.

A few months ago, on a TIGHAR-related post, I detailed why Amelia Earhart is relatively unimportant to aviation history, post-1927.

Now, Tyler, I have zero information about your background as a defense journalist, other than the fact that you blog on Aviation Intel (or at least used to), but do you really, truly believe that two 1,700 gallon conformal fuel tanks are going to produce ZERO additional drag?

The Presidential motorcade is only from 1:34-2:05 and 3:40-4:15, on the return trip.

They won't use a crowbar, just a coat hanger. In about 5 seconds.

My wife had a 1999 New Beetle, when we started dating in 2004. With 5 years on the clock, the dealer-serviced car cost her more in annual repairs (A/C, electrical, transmission synchros, ABS, electrical, A/C, electrical, window motors, brakes, electrical, transmission seals, and electrical issues, mainly — did I…

In this kind of game,
people get hurt…
I'm thinking that the people is you…

Here's a demonstration of the lateral separation for the mirror pass (not that it's any less impressive…):

Exactly. The entire video, I could hear my first racing instructor over my helmet intercom, saying, "if the wheels aren't straight, you're slow."

Frequently, this is referred to as "easter egg" mode. The only downside is that, once you're in this middle-ground mode, there's no way to re-enable or completely disable the DSC, other than turning off the ignition.

Not the E39 M5… it's ASC is actually smart enough to allow you to start, on a hill, in the snow, if you're gentle enough, because it employs differential braking, amongst other tools. Plus, it is equipped with an LSD.

I was just about to mention US-15/501 at NC-147 and Hillsborough Road, NC-147 N @ Alston Ave and I-85 N at Duke Street/Gregson Street.
