All kind of Eastern Bloc children's tears, I know I was one of them...

"Like a glove!"

Loren Thompson was probably never pinned down by enemy fire just to hear the rip of the GAU and be out of harms way once again.

This is my Gran Turismo 6 experience (with couple of exceptions).

I feel for these guys, I used to drive for Airborne Express (now DHL), and when I got my route (no smart phones or GPS back then), I grabbed a Thomas Guide, photocopied all the pages covering my route, sit down with the copies and highlighter, and wrote down every single street in an alphabetic order. Then I started…

Race on Sunday, sell on Monday...oh wait...

Actually the answer to my question is in the bottom video, at 17:06 you can see two plates before the main landing gears fold down.

I wonder what is holding the plane back when the afterburners are full on, any knowledge of this mechanism?

Agreed if we go to motorcycles, should have went with the Honda CBX:

Somebody switched to cannons...on the serious note, hoping for a quick rescue.

Maybe it is just the perspective, but on the right side, the bottom edge of the seat cowl is parallel with the subframe, but on the left side there is angle, also that weld on the subframe looks sloppy.

Straight down the Yangtze river...

Great video, the op tempo is way more relaxed then a line unit would be, it is a rare sight to see deck personnel "casually" strolls by :)

Kinda make sense, made to order + lot of hand assembly = no need to ramp up production line with robots and what not, in that sense 25k is not that much. It will be a rare sight on the street, most likely a collector's bike.

I wonder how much that engine is restricted (it has to be, same size naturally aspirated engines makes 200+ Hp on this segment, that supercharger has to push this thing well beyond that), and how much can you de-restrict, once you ready to die.

RIP, great memories, I will keep listening to the reruns until NPR plays them.

Great article, the lack of "little birds" presence is disturbing, specially since the 160th SOAR is involved.

Well, that was Dacia specific comment actually, since some of the parts were exchangeable with Renault parts. My father got his new Dacia, we drove it to my grandpa's place, he had a nicely equipped garage and we worked on that car for 3 days, before it was ready for the streets :)

I lived in Hungary for the first 20 years of my life, we owned all three of these cars at one time or another, experience speaking...
