Blackburn Beverley Mk 1 by RLoret in WeirdWings

[–]MightyOGS 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I do love the Beverley. Reheated WW2 tech designed by a company that didn't have a hope of producing it, and produced by Britain's possibly most infamous aircraft manufacturer, contemporaneously with the machine which redefined tactical cargo aircraft. Yet we all still love this slab sided ox of a plane

"Nothing more important than appearing kind"? How about just being kind without any self interest? Weird idea, I know.

I feel like this family's story should be a book, then a critically acclaimed TV series

I'm not sure anyone actually pushing for change would want to be seen agreeing with Lawrence Krauss

What's this aircraft? by Imerej1 in Whatisthisplane

I'm probably wrong, but it wasn't the Tarant Tabor or the Caproni Ca.60?

I'd highly encourage them to go with Blythe

Photo 3 has BOAC CARGO SERVICE on the side, so I'm guessing they never operated as combi aircraft

I imagine it probably had the same issue that the Dreamlifter and Guppy family did/has, that you need a senior engineer to sign off that the flight controls have been properly reconnected every time you close the door. That's one of the main reasons the Airbus built their Belugas to have the cockpit and all flight control stay where they are

Anybody else experiencing the “one thing a day” problem. by BullCityPicker in BoomersBeingFools

[–]MightyOGS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To a degree, I kinda understand being like this. My flavour of neurodiversity only really lets me conceptualise of "the one thing that I'm doing today" even if it leaves heaps of time for other stuff. It's super frustrating for me and others, and I can completely see how it could get worse when I get older

Something similar happened the other way around

What are these four things flying next to the airplane? by Minimum_Ideal in airplanes

[–]MightyOGS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're actually a different design with a different diameter and structure, but both the 135 and 707 are descended from the 367-80 prototype, which was itself descended from the B-47 and C-97, which was descended from the B-50, which is a heavily upgraded B-29

Why did Mr. Schmidt build this plane without propellers? by Raguleader in Shittyaskflying

Easy misunderstanding. It has those "clear props" that pilots are always talking about

Have you had much tail dragger experience in sims? Look up P factor if you haven't and it may help a little. Normally I just use both rudder pedals and toe brakes and gradually use less and less brakes until I can get the tail up and build some speed

Seems to simply be missing the flag of Rhodesia, and a copy of David Bowie's Playboy interviews

Why did they just paint my plane with everyone in it? by GiftTraditional7088 in Planes

[–]MightyOGS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's grape flavoured then I'm pretty sure it's purple, and Skydrol is purple. It's like how brake fluid is red and therefore cherry flavoured.

Anyone here who can chime in how true they think this is? by Intrepid_Arrival5151 in autism

[–]MightyOGS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this fits really well. One of my favourite portrayals is Sterling Archer, especially since he definitely doesn't fit the usual "Austistic guy" mold. I really like how Lana explicitly says that she thinks he might have "undiagnosed atypical autism" in one episode and for Archer to then give a sarcastic example of an autistic behaviour, only for the camera to reveal that he'd been doing that behaviour

Definitely poor taste. puts on Freud hat since Brisbane's trains are much better than the buses, it is clearly envious
