Coyote Swapped Ranger. When I started the build 3 years ago, I couldn’t find anyone who had did it. Truck is now making passes at the strip and working on refining the tune to make it as fast as possible N/A. Will be getting a turbo in the next couple years to really push it to its limits!
Funny. My girl just got a recall notice for her wipers on her 2016 Cherokee. Apparently on of the bolts isn’t torqued to spec...
No way. Lightning Blue is the best color for this car
Here’s my 97 Ranger single cab in Texas.....
No no no. A certain Air Force base with which I am intimately familiar tried that and all it does is slow the bleeding. It takes longer to fix said problem (remove and install parts versus just install) and ends up costing more in the long run. The brass won’t acknowledge the problem until you get readiness numbers…
All rotary wing aircrew go through it. It’s called the dunker and as long as you are ok being in the water, it’s pretty much a non-event. I thought it was actually kinda fun.
No kidding. Had almost the same thing last December. Was doing 75mph through nowhere TX and a deer ran into my passenger side headlight. Cracked the grill, destroyed the headlight, set off the airbag, and dented the passenger side door. Drove the hour back home, bought the totaled truck back from insurance, and fixed…
It’s all relative to wind direction, speed, and gust factor
AF pilot here. I’m not going to argue qualifications with you but I’m not the only one who thinks he’s over-controlling the hell out of it.
Yes smooth is good. Get yourself set up early and ride it down, making small corrections as necessary. But when the weather sucks, you do what you have to do in order to get it down.
What he’s doing is called Pump Stick in Flare. It’s poor practice and in a bigger aircraft like that, it wont have a whole lot of effect. It is far more pronounced in smaller aircraft. He’s effectively slowly lowering himself to the deck in steps rather than one smooth glide slope. The lateral deflections are very…
I love heritage stories. You should do Pardo’s Push next!
“Tilt rotors are a dream solution for missions like search and rescue, where every second counts. This has been the V-22 Osprey’s most successful role”
I didn’t particularly care for the area but the people there made it great!
Recent Laughlin grad here! All I can saw is Wow! Finally a well written article about the journey.
They could easier rig some explosives (but I really mean quite a bit) to the undercarriage to make it more effective. Hell with that armor bathtub they could even make a secondary, delayed explosion. There’s no limit to what these monsters think of.
JDAMs fix everything
here’s why the Osprey is a death trap: one engine goes down, ***the thing flips over in an instant***
You are failing to differentiate between a rotor and an engine. The chinook also has a driveshaft that connects the two rotors to the engines, hence why it can fly OEI. Same with the Osprey. Don’t argue with someone who flies them.
I’m sorry but I feel like this new generation just doesn’t have the WOW factor like the old raptor did. Where are the crazy graphics and flared arches that make it look meaner???
