“The X-2 is notable for its elaborate thrust vectoring system, which uses a trio of three “paddles” on each engine exhaust to allow for independent high-angle deflection of each jet’s exhaust. In other words, the X-2 is designed to be as maneuverable as it is stealthy.”

The F-35 fiasco clearly shows that this is a myth - The Marines have huge influence, despite their current irrelevance.

“After he died in 2012, I had my mom and grandma send me his copy of Mario Kart 64, and occasionally I’ll pop it in to race one of his ghosts. All these years later, and I still can’t beat him.”

If you think that story is true, and yes, I’ve seen the video, then I have some beachfront property in Kansas to sell you.

“pilot refused to fly until Obama apologized..”

It costs me $50 a year to play in my co-ed rec kick ball league. So as a fellow athlete I understand Kaepernick’s frustrations.

Bro, you are so stupid its unbelievable.

You’re right to call BS on the Broncos and Schefter (who oh-by-the-way worked in Denver for many years before going national), but this isn’t so cut and dry as giving up money: his slashed salary would likely be baked into an extension that gives Kaep slightly more guaranteed money than he’d make in 2016 alone, though…

How the hell do these redneck idiots have enough disposable cash to do this level of stupid?

While I agree with you, you have possibly picked the least stupid thing Trump’s ever said as an example and I’m not entirely sure why.

Well my buddy and I were both aviation electronics technicians in the Navy and got close to the jets every day. Oh wait...that's not what you meant.

Props to that one guy who actually made it.

Woahwoahwoah, hold on. What was that synchronized redneckery link at the end of the video?

So much stupidity in so little time. Carrying big gulp while about to scale a wall? Check. No helmets? Check. Flip over and don’t turn engine off? Check. Flip over and don’t put on helmets for next attempt? Check. I mean I hate to say I was happy when it broke but I certainly wasn’t sad.

Two people in a Jeep crashed into an F/A-18E fighter jet on Thursday after they infiltrated a Navy base. . .

You’re far more likely to die in your car on your way to the airport than you are to die in an airplane in flight.

It’s windy every day somewhere in the world. In some places, it’s very windy. The fact that we don’t hear about a wind-caused crash every day should be very comforting to you.

Zeek, if you watch these posts, note that every one of them ends in a successful landing. Also, those massive altitude changes you see at 300 ft., in reality, is probably less than 10 ft. If it happens at 15 ft. (which it usually doesn’t, wind excursions flatten out close to the ground), you just get a ‘thud’ from the…

You will almost never totally die
