Speaking as a Swede who has lived in the US for many years, the cultural difference when it comes to nudity is huge. In Sweden you’d think nothing of being in the sauna naked with (also naked) members of the opposite sex, for example. It’s just not a big deal.

If the US military can't retain the A-10, perhaps the powers that be can be convinced to procure a boatload of Su-25s for cheap. :)

Maybe not quite VTOL seeing as the plane appears to be moving forward beyond the deck. STOL perhaps?

As others have said, fly responsibly. As a pilot (of planes, not drones), my fervent wish is that all drone flyers make an effort to learn at least the basics of airspace rules. Even if the airspace is uncontrolled that doesn’t mean there isn’t a responsibility to “see and avoid” other traffic. It is hard enough to…

Not sure if TT3D - Closer to the Edge came out in IMAX. Definitely worth a watch in any case.

Carefully.

It is IKEA, not Ikea. IKEA is an acronym for Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd after the founder's name, the farm where he grew up and his hometown.

If memory serves it is a drogue chute system which collects airspeed data. The data is used to calibrate the airspeed indicators.

In countries like the UK and Germany, or in Hong Kong, the attitude towards selling alcoholic beverages is much more "lax" than in most of the US. While these places have a legal drinking age* and they do check, there's not the same obsession with it that I found in the US. In my experience the number of teens…

If they're feathered, each screw acts as a speed brake, a maneuver known as a "crash-back.

Wow. Hadn't thought of that game in years. Loved it.

For what it's worth, that makes sense to me. He's always sounded somewhat Norwegian to my ears.

Sounds good indeed. However I'd wager most small aircraft crashes are due to the pilot not checking something pre-flight or flying into conditions he/she and the plane are not fit to handle.

That I cannot answer. While I grew up there, I haven't lived in Sweden for more than a decade.

While it is one of the Nordic Countries, you gotta remember Iceland is rather far from Sweden. ;)

As a pilot, I'd classify "running out of fuel" as "pilot error". In a small aircraft, you always, always, always, check the levels in the tanks before a flight and you always leave yourself plenty of margin. Running out of fuel is pretty much inexcusable.

Like most Swedes, I've never understood how foreigners think we sound like the Swedish Chef. It's weird.
