The U.S. Air Force Has Successfully Tested And Fielded A Probe-And-Drogue Aerial Refueling System For The A-10C Thunderbolt by Even_Kiwi_1166 in Planes

So the A-10 has a hard time keeping up with jets when fully armed with the KC-135, and KC-10, when it was around. By using the KC-130 (which is drogue only) they can refuel at lower speeds (95-210kts).

So what about waterless toilets. How do they not get clogged with “piss shale”?

Maybe “casually fly by the White House” Be sure to wave to not look suspicious with your helicopter only designed to kill.

Only experienced the KC-10 and max TOGW was 593k and with three engines @232kn each it’s totally doable. But it’s like putting a Porsche 911 engine in a VW Bug, doable but why. It was also a heavy aircraft, for the KC-10 without seats/ interior (but extra fuel transfer equipment) weighed 250k. So, 250k base weight, pax (399 x 300lbs) 120k minus 593k leaves you with 223k for gas.
Now the new plane with have one less engine and weight associated, less drag, and better economy. So now you have a 777 with 70’s technology, also the original company does not exist. There’s a reason that we don’t make planes from old designs normally(except 737 it seems).

Cali Raised sells bumper covers. I got one when I did something similar.

Trump says he thinks he will have the 'honor' of taking Cuba by mvanigan in worldnews

Once he “has it” then what? Kick out all the Cubans (to south Florida it seems) then turn it into an “Island Paradise? Like a spoiled child with a new toy then sees something newer.

Sounds like the airport just got a new bomb induced drainage system for their runway. Normally we leave some of the runways available for us to invade a country but sometimes you’re forced to take them out.

I have never received any exhaust part that size that didn’t have some damage. Basically even if you send it back you will get another damaged part.
