  1. We should definitely empower egomaniac Musk to run the base on Mars.
  2. RE: Mike Flynn. I remember reading the self-promotional literature that guy put out when he was in charge of DIA. Just a bunch of hogwash about how his team were doing things better. News flash: no.
  3. This guy has a broken brain https://www.thejc.com/news/news/former-trump-advisor-blames-jews-for-their-own-deportations-to-auschwitz-6BMJn5y5XpBfAJcNGhwFpy
  4. I think a lot of this rage is banked and now is stored energy. We aren't at a point where we can convince anyone else who isn't already convinced by reality.
  5. Four Rolls Royce Merlins...I can believe it.
  6. Compare the B-29 to the technology of the 1930s - - pressurized cabin, radar directed machine gun turrets, the altitude and speed it could fly. Ironically that the best results over Japanese cities were in firebombing at low-level and area attacks and not in the precision attacks which were -- (i am making an assertion here based on my own research) extremely effective in Europe. Japan itself proved extremely challenging to high-level aviation due to the bizonkers jet stream over the islands. NE Asia has a very strange climate.
  7. This deserves a mid-level award for comedic achievement in a comedic well nearly run dry.
  8. Interesting Column: An unlikely solution to the problems with Harris and Feinstein (yahoo.com) i doubt Harris would go for it since she's a sandbag from the presidency.
  9. This is interesting
  10. This will work Christie pulls ahead of DeSantis in New Hampshire GOP primary: poll | The Hill Christie-san with spirit of bushido and the divine wind shall smote the enemies of democracy!
  11. That is an impressive set of aircraft. I might go out of my way to see a Lancaster and the Vampire. I recall that one was sort of a spectacular failure but that might be another aircraft I'm thinking about. Still, its so unusual looking. I was always a big fan of the B-25 in the ship/ground attack mode that was so extremely successful for the 5th AF in the Pacific.
  12. Yeah, IOS. This was a thing previously... somehow overcome and now back to not being overcome.
  13. because we lost the ability to post xeets from mobile reposting.
  14. man, https://x.com/beefeater_fella/status/1691233615563071488?s=46&t=76Y1aNflZsD8yrwQrvLC2g
  15. I hope he's not trying to prove that. :--0
  16. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_surviving_de_Havilland_Mosquitos looks like a couple airworthy ones exist in North America but you can count them on one hand.
  17. I gather there are few left anywhere.
  18. I would love to see a Mosquito. That is one of my WWII airplane crushes.
  19. Virginia Beach and the Langley area are amazing for the jets beating up the sky.
