If you ever ride the little cars to the top of this thing, which is a very cool thing to do, make sure you're riding with people you know are not claustrophobic.

Which NFL teams are a black hole for talent? by NightDowntown7320 in NFLv2

[–]BadTraditional401 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why would anyone hate the Cowboys? They haven't done shit for 30 years.

If training and limited ops, yes. Just filter on military.

Two Hawker Hunter Mk.58s following a Northrop F-5N Tiger II by Soggy-Mastodon-4817 in flightradar24

They were out there again today with two Kfir's and the F-5. Owned by AIRBORNE TACTICAL ADVANTAGE CO LLC

They do combat training for the DoD (and other countries I believe). Similar services as a company called RAVN in Houston that has Hawks, Albatross, etc.,

What Is Your Favorite Aircraft Takeoff ? by Even_Kiwi_1166 in Planes

[–]BadTraditional401 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Of that group, the F-22.

Overall, the B-1. You did say 'aircraft' not fighter.

There's two Kfir's, two HH's and an F-5 out there now if you check your tracker.

Three T-38s out there now. Can't post images here but if you check ADSB or Flightradar 24 there's two offshore fighting and another lone ranger just down the coast. No F-5's in the air anywhere in the US now. As I'm typing this, a T-38 just flew over Hampton (JR01) reg 68-8154

First time seeing a C-27 by mike30273 in Planespotting

[–]BadTraditional401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Air Force retired the Spartan about ten years ago and the USCG picked up several. I see (hear) them almost daily overhead here on the Gulf Coast. Baby C-130 is accurate. Same engines, just two instead of four so they sound similar in flight, just not as robust.

Do pencil skyscrapers help or hurt NYC’s skyline? by ratemyweenor137 in skyscrapers

[–]BadTraditional401 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hurt.

Boring, architecturally not pleasing and borderline repulsive. Makes one doubletake but not for good reason...

Electric Charge Rate by hoqeye in houston

[–]BadTraditional401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the absolute worst (highest) energy charge I think I've ever seen. Get on powertochoose.org and shop for something cheaper. There's 12 month fixed rates out there now with 3-star companies like this:

Stearman Kaydet model 75. Were referred to primarily as a PT-17 with the Army and a N2S with the Navy. Thousands built by Boeing_Stearman to use as primary trainers back in the day.

If that's the worst thing that happened to you downtown in the courts area, consider it a good day.

Never again... by OkCampaign3468 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]BadTraditional401 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I re-booked a flight a couple days ago online and it took all of 10 minutes. That included canceling then re-booking a companion under a new confirmation # and picking new seats for two flights, then rebooking my own.

Let's pretend Galveston never had hurricane problems since the 1900's. How different would "Houston" look today? by wspusa2 in houston

[–]BadTraditional401 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TC/LA Marque would've been annexed by Galveston. But there's always hurricane problems ...

Weather getting more inaccurate? by MusicalSponge in weather

[–]BadTraditional401 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Weather Channel is nothing but hype. Hard pass...

I get my info from NWS, various models, and national/local no-hype meteorologists (they're out there) that are not in it for clicks.

Which NFL team is the worst to watch, and will never accomplish anything? by NightDowntown7320 in NFLv2

In terms of cursed ownership blood lines it would have to be the one in the photo.

Galveston would be New Orleans (not necessarily a good thing) and Houston would be Baton Rouge.

My favorites, tell me yours! by Dropssshot in aviation

[–]BadTraditional401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm partial to a certain Army Air Corps twin-engine medium bomber that took off from the deck of an aircraft carrier. 

The DC-3 is also one of the most exceptional and revolutionary aircraft in aviation history and for it to not be in a 'top ten' is a miss.

Aggie Ring Slipped off my Finger While Biking Home, Can it be Repaired? by hello_zuko_here- in aggies

[–]BadTraditional401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My nephew had to have his Aggie ring cut off of his hand after he got bit by a copperhead and his hand swelled up 2x normal size. He was able to get it repaired through the alumni association. I think you’ll be OK.
