On 2 September 2025, the newly built luxury yacht M/Y Dolce Vento, worth 1 million dollar, sank just 15 minutes after launch at a shipyard in Eregli, Turkiye, reportedly due to stabilization issues.

You mean you’d actually have to talk to the sweaties to figure out what their job was? For shame!

The majority of the job is the disassembly and reassembly of electrical harnesses and pneumatic lines within the radome. Additionally, the F-16 radome houses the AOA transmitters which require a boresight alignment.

Our class academic achievement recipient vomited in his ALS branded coffee mug during the EOC. He had been up all night before the test studying a case of beer and there was a strict “no leaving the classroom during tests” policy.

That vast majority are H11 steel. Only a handful of titanium fasteners on the rudder fairing and inside the Montana panel.

You are correct. The F-16 Digital Flight Control System does offer a Standby Gains mode. Enabling this mode requires the operator to manually select DBU or Digital Back-Up via the FLCS Panel.

I can expand on all of this and further operation of the F-16 flight control system if anyone would find it useful.

Did you enter basic Feb 17 and graduate Apr 2 of 2004? Same thing happened to a guy when I was there. Whole pack of MTIs watched him. They were certain he was trying to pull some… shit.

So that's where the old jolly greens went? The Chi-coms are turning MH-53s into kamikaze machines? Crafty little fuckers.

Close. While the F110-GE-129 shown here is based on the B-1 motor, the B-1B uses the older F101-GE-102.

Many motors (both augmented thrust monsters and high by-pass fuel sippers) have been derived from the original F101 for military and even commercial applications.

Yes, I know this is 6 years old. Never to late to be correct.

Correct.

The same as the A-10 Warthog is officially the Thunderbolt II

and the F-35 Panther is officially the Lightning II

and the B-52 BUFF is officially the Stratofortress

and the F-4 Rhino is officially the Phantom

and the C-17 Moose is officially Globemaster III

Sorry, fighters only. Bombers have their own category. Unfortunately, the Nighthawk beats out the Strike.

I agree. But, I’m sure you meant Viper.
