  3. the lifetime cost of the f35 program is TWO TRILLION yes it's stealthy but it doesn't have supersonic supercruise - in fact it can only make mach 1+ dashes for about 80 seconds can it hover? yes does it have sigint platform capabilities beyond our wildest dreams? yes is it any better than a f22 at basic air superiority? absolutely not ford-class carriers cost 13b each the gerald was commissioned in 17 the jfk is coming this year the enterprise has been laid down we could cancel the doris miller, bush & clinton and take out another 50 billion over the next 5 years the nimitz class is being decommissioned prematurely do we need 10 floating death stars? do we need f35s when the f22 is just as good and other technologies can handle the sigint?
  4. you need to put the saddle on the right horse
  5. the hudson river crossings are interstates which required approval of the biden adminstration shitgibbon is on the reservation with this one great idea - the ny subway system needs a trillion to catch up bad idea - charging jersey for it - the jersey dem governor praised dotard this afternoon

  12. the us averages 30 midair collisions annually killing ~75 us average for near-midair collisions is 450 but that of course does not include incidents not reporter - and there are many - i've watched 3 from my backyard - all 3 involved a commerical jet and a single-engine prop - in all 3 the jet was too low ai results: +++ tl/dr: commercial incidents are rare, general aviation incidents happen every day - you don't hear about them unless you watch the local news - and they only report the incidents in their broadcast market - and the military has more accidents with more deaths per year than general aviation - but you don't hear about it unless you watch national news, cnn, or there is spectacular video and your local news shows it bonus tl/dr: military aviation is hard +++ as an example: c130 first flight 1958 2350 built 350+ hull losses worldwide, of those 194 in us mililtary, not all crashes, ~70 in nam, some in other combat situations, but most were not the first hull loss was shot down by 4 migs in an incident you've never heard of because it was on a nsa sigint mission 'on the armenian border' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_accidents_and_incidents_involving_the_Lockheed_C-130_Hercules
  13. no clue on any of this
  14. celtic out nats dropping like flies
  15. trusty heads clear a low flat shot with power this is huge this is celtic's 15th game in germany all-time and they have never won
  16. excellent the carter-vickers/trusty pairing has a chance to advance i've been rangers since reyna but poch has got to be thinking about anchoring them together next year
  17. feyenoord won the precursor to the champion's league in 1970 in 91 the european cup added 2 playoff rounds before the group stage in 94 the competition rebranded as the champion's league +++ 72 won 2 knockouts then lost to benfica 2-5 in the quarterfinals 92 beat the iceland champion home/away in round 1, lost to porto home/away in round 2, did not advance to group stage 98 grouped round 1 00 2nd in group round 1, advanced, 3rd place of 3 & out 2nd group stage 03 grouped round 1 18 grouped round 1 24 grouped round 1 this is the biggest result for feyenoord in 53 years
  18. primer: revising my take it wasn't a gear-not-locked situation 2 things: pitched down 2-3 degrees, i.e. "no flare"; should be pitched up at least 10 degrees at touchdown 20-25 degree roll to the right - this happens but a single gear bogey is supposed to be able to take the "impact" until the other gear makes contact speculation: the front gear impacted first and failed causing the starboard main gear to fail when it had to bear the weight of the entire hull in essence, it's a controlled flight in to terrain disguised as a landing flap settings and shear data are going to be the tell
  19. that's called a navy landing southwest crews also specialize in hard landings
  20. welp, that particular visual documentation is going to be definitive in corroborating what the boxes say will the boxes say the crew had a gear locked indication? if true and the gear was not locked or failed that video is key
  21. if pete were doing his daily presser this would be today's #1 story FLOOD THE ZONE attack their safespace echochambers
  22. video shot from the cockpit of the next in line for takeoff clearly shows the gear structure just failed completely it is amazing that it did not protrude up through the cabin and impale pax sitting directly above i experienced a crj landing gear issue in '10 that included caf fighters scrambling to visually inspect the front gear in flight while we burned off gas to return to pearson
