If something disintegrated in one of the gearboxes it would have cause significant friction and made autorotation difficult. Autorotation also usually requires a bit more altitude to be done properly.

Actually, I would argue that slacksonslacks is not even a marathoner. Anyone who has ever run a 3:45 marathon, whether it be a PR or on the way to a much faster time, knows that you have to work your ass off to get to that point.

Do stock Avendators shoot flames when you rev them or is this some stupid mod?

Not awkward at all.

There are a few that stick with me. Best/worst was when I was a freshman in college, when the fistbump was first getting popular. I was greeting one of my roommate’s upperclassman friends; I went for the handshake and he went for the fist bump. I ended up awkwardly enclosing his fist in my hand. At least neither of us…

For a second, I thought the guy in the patterned shirt was going to clock the other dude.

If Mordor had tanks, they would look like this.

Is this a joke? Last time I checked, magnets+electronics=bad.

Getting into a flat spin was difficult to do even while in the simulator

I’m sure the Airbus structures engineers just breathed a sigh of relief. This type of damage is an important design condition, making sure that kind of hole doesn’t unzip the whole plane.

If you’re ever in Virginia, F-22s fly out of Langley AFB nearly every day. There are several roads that pass right by the end of the runway, and you can get super close to them if your timing is right.

At 3:50, the first thing the guy does after the crash test is make sure the windows still roll up?

This seems like a double-edged sword. On one hand, it could easily prevent a lot of drunk driving.

It’s all perspective I guess. Doesn’t look any more dangerous than doing a run through the trees on a snowboard out West. Plenty of people have an amazing amount of control on a snowboard or skiis.
