I recently saw a vid of a restored ME 262 that was still flying in 06' ... If this Sabre is the oldest flying jet, I have to presume that the German jet is no longer airworthy, as it would definitely be older than this F 86.

I remember a similar experience many years ago. On a short hop from Newark to Albany, NY on an old Martin 404, we hit a fierce storm entering Albany airspace. My seat was overlooking the starboard wing and I clearly remember seeing the wing warping up and down, as well as watching oil streaming from the nacelle and

That's my era, friend, but I never experienced seeing the F4 in anger, as my unit was never activated. LBJ folded under pressure and denied Westmorland's request for 150K more troops. But I have seen the Phantom many times, since then, doing demos which at least gave a small inkling of it's potential. The only

That left headlight on the intruding vehicle died a slow death.... I want a few of those bulbs. AND you were right, the clenching came, but all I had on hand were Brazil nuts and I apparently have a weak clench. (sigh) Those nuts remain unmolested.

Very few planes have managed to be both beautiful and gut twistingly ugly at the same time, but the F4 managed it without even breathing hard.

No, I didn't miss your points at all ... I rode for over 30 years on nothing but air cooled bikes. Never overheated, never got rear ended. It was my choice to own and ride a bike, so I fully understood the possible dangers and restrictions from the outset. When stopped at traffic lights behind cars, I always left

Look Dev, as I previously stated to Mister Chase, I have no problem with lane splitting. You may split lanes until the end of time. The point I was trying to make is that I think that creating a special law to allow it in the states where it's illegal will really serve no purpose. We already have laws that prohibit

Not even close, pal ... and you seem to ride that 'jealousy' comment like an abused mule. I rode bikes longer than I suspect that you've been alive, so I wouldn't exactly call my riding experience a 'failed attempt'. LOL ... I also have no personal problem with 'lane splitting' so feel free to curb yet another of your

That, my friend, is probably the most self serving and narrow minded comment I've had the misfortune to read here in ages. I stopped riding several years ago when it became apparent that riding was not the best way for me to commute to my job. Jealousy never entered my thought process when I decided to park the bike

Quite true, but at the accelerated rate of technical obsolescence, Android 4.4 will be yesterdays news by the end of this week.

Definitely not this .... looks like something that delivers pies.

Quite true ... it's all about the perceived upscale definition of the Acura brand, but most of us are aware of the reality.

Indeed, the bunch here at Jalopnik or Opposite Lock seem to be pretty well housebroken and don't feel the need to insert poorly thought out rants, or insults to the other commenters. Praiseworthy for sure.

I've been pulled over three times in the past 20 years, twice for speeding, and once for not completely stopping for a stop sign. I was doing 83mph in a 65 zone in Virginia because I like to maintain 70 and the group of cars I was following were speeding up and slowing down constantly. I tired of this game so pulled

" Fifty years later, it's still unbeaten. That's kind of sad." ..... as far as we know, it's unbeaten. Who knows what sort of aircraft are flying around in the Southwestern deserts that haven't been revealed to us yet?

Brand dilution? .... possibly

Seems like a waste ... Just dump a few hundred gallons of maple syrup on the trailer, hoist up a few dozen folks with forks and have a sugar on snow party.

Sayonara, hemorrhoids ...

I'm betting it will, but watch out for flying chunks of giant rubber. What's the speed rating on those massive tires?

I use mine on weekends for those necessary grocery shopping trips. Never have to argue over parking.
