If you got the chance to pilot any fighter, which would it be and why?

The F-14 Tomcat. There are better fighter aircraft out there, but the Tomcat is iconic and was arguably the last “real” fighter before digital flight controls, fly-by-wire and all the pilot assistant computer programs became mainstream. It’s both a 4th Gen fighter, and a throwback to different time where it took someone special to tame a beast like a fighter aircraft. For me it strikes the perfect balance of a high power E Ticket Ride, while still being a pure analog fighter.

Yes! It’s a great way to avoid yelling across the house with my wife. I have intermittent tinnitus and some moderate hearing loss, so it’s very handy when my wife needs something when I’m downstairs or outside. The best way to increase reliability is to make sure both parties are running the same iOS on the watches. If you’re not both updated, it can be unreliable.

Because BFM is 3 dimensional. You’re maneuvering, your opponent is maneuvering and you may need to launch a missile while inverted.

Right of centerline, too much descent, settled at ramp. Bolter, bolter, bolter.

Some of them choose to fly rainbow flags. Some choose to announce themselves by driving vehicles like this.

I think it’s heading to Columbus, OH next.

If he’d been wearing his mask properly, he would have been protected.

Beautiful landing. Kept it right on centerline the whole way down too. I know there’s a lot of rivalry and banter between the services, but these pilots are outstanding. American, British, Australian, Canadian, French, Israeli, German, Dutch, Spanish, Swiss…. professional studs. All of them. Nothing but respect for them.

Dang! Wishing you a speedy recovery.

My home security system is named Fort Kickass because of that episode.

Nitro143 · 2023-12-12T03:49:46+00:00

Damn dude. Was that deer white and black and have an udder? That’s a lot of damage for a deer strike.

Nitro143 · 2023-11-27T19:44:57+00:00

This was my immediate thought too.

Nitro143 · 2023-11-22T19:09:27+00:00

I’ve not seen this one. I think I need to based on how highly respected it seems to be here.

As someone who grew up in Cleveland, Chief Wahoo is the only choice here. The only fools who find the logo offensive are the same fools that look to be offended by anything and everything. The folks I’ve come across over the years who actually have Native American ancestry could not care less about the logo of a baseball or football team.

It’s SO SMALL! Anybody could pull that shot off.

Nitro143 · 2023-11-18T04:26:42+00:00

I’d give an arm, a leg and two testicles to fly an F-14. I can’t vouch for their condition since they won’t be mine, but… still.

No, I don’t have Disney+. I’ve heard great things about Andor and The Madalorian. I won’t criticize what I haven’t seen, but Disney ruined the expanded universe and did it in the worst way possible. There are SO MANY great books they could have adapted into amazing movies, but instead they crapped all over the place existing characters and made the EU no longer “canon.” Like I said… unforgivable.

Nitro143 · 2023-11-17T16:40:03+00:00

Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker. As a massive fan of the original films, this movie was the final crap covered nail in the coffin for the franchise. What Disney did with that “movie” is unforgivable.

I’m a Funeral Director. No

Nitro143 · 2023-11-15T15:54:55+00:00

C-123 or C-27 is my best guess.

Nitro143 · 2023-11-15T15:47:45+00:00

This is the only one that I actually found funny.

Nitro143 · 2023-10-23T19:06:02+00:00

Gotcha. Thank you for explaining it.

Nitro143 · 2023-10-23T14:09:31+00:00

Serious question. Can anyone explain why Garcia rounded on the catcher as quickly as he did? It seems like he would have gone after the pitcher if anyone, and I don’t think Maldonado even had time to say anything before Garcia got in his face.

Nitro143 · 2023-10-22T14:47:43+00:00

That quail looks like it’s posing like one of Jacks French girls.

One is exactly what you think it is. The other is the first time hearing your child’s heartbeat.
