He’s debating which part of it he wants to smash with a baseball first.

Actually, those look like spent recoilless rifle shells. You aren't wrong though.

This reminds me of the current Focus wagon with a better nose. I love it.

Am I the only person who hates Alcantara? It’s looks so cheap to me, and I can’t imagine it wears well.

And now the Hungarians fly SAAB Gripens, which are about as off-road friendly as Western aircraft get. Speaking of, does the Gripen have any built-in FOD protection? I can't imagine they expect rural Swedish highways to be clear of debris, so I imagine they have some protection system in place.

Why take the engine out of the jet - just take the tail off and rock and roll! You can even use the cockpit as a control stand!

So...SpaceX can build a ship that can survive a rocket landing on it, but the US Navy can’t build a carrier that an F-35B can land on without melting the deck? Maybe we should be outsourcing more things to Elon Musk. /s

The two in the middle are Kitty Hawk class, while the two on the ends are Forrestals.

I never quite understood the tactical role of the Hueys in Marine service - they seemed too small to carry troops like a Blackhawk and unnecessarily large and bulky to provide spotting and support like a Kiowa...and then I saw the videos above.

F-16?

Hmm...I don't suppose the Harriers are stored at Davis-Monthan with the rest of the military's surplus aircraft. Brb, losing a few hours scouring the base on Google Maps for Harriers.

The RAF did a throwback (to the Cold War) paint scheme on one of their Harriers before they were all retired.

Hello, new wallpaper.

So, any turn sharper than what a fully loaded crude oil tanker can make?

I hate the buttons on my Focus with a burning passion, but they’re 5000 times better than the capacitive touch buttons on my fiance’s Edge with MyFordTouch...and that’s just the buttons. I won’t even get into the touch screen itself.

Don't mind me, I'm just hitching a ride.

That’s more room than a passenger train...but it’s flying.

Agreed. I don’t mind gray wheels, or even black wheels, as long as the rim itself has a machined lip to break up the visual mass of the dark wheel and black tire. Examples:

I see no AC belt, so it almost certainly doesn’t work. That, the ticking time bomb 3-speed, and price make this a CP in my book.
