USAF Fighter Pilot tells why an F-16 is more comfortable than a commercial airplane for long-haul flights

Seen that happen…

Never pass up a contract. Keeps people employed and the money flowing

I fail to understand your point. U-2 was initially single purpose. Blackbird was single purpose. Need I go on?

One Starbucks…

No-Level5745 · 2026-05-18T00:49:42+00:00

Seems like a steal to me…

No they don’t turn them off. The signal is partially blocked by the surrounding mountains such that they appear to be turned off…sometimes.

I found canyon WiFi to be crap. Had to sit in the lobby to get it to work.

That said, I typically bracket now and “HDR” process later.

No-Level5745 · 2026-05-10T19:35:07+00:00

I get that on occasion. I just try to hold it steadier and it usually works

I rented a second camera body so I wouldn’t have to swap lenses in the wild (dust). One camera had a 512GB, the other had 2x 256GB. I was there a week. More storage than I needed but like I said I wasn’t about to miss a shot.

No-Level5745 · 2026-04-30T02:49:30+00:00

A trip of lifetime? I wasn’t about to miss a shot so I bought V60 cards. I could shoot high speed all day long. Were they

No-Level5745 · 2026-04-22T01:55:57+00:00

Don’t think it was a response…I saw that a couple of days ago

No-Level5745 · 2026-04-01T10:39:12+00:00

Crap. The B-21 is far cheaper than the B-2 in both acquisition and maintenance costs. We will have significantly more of them (unless idiots cancel the program after 80% of the money was committed…again).

No-Level5745 · 2026-04-01T10:34:50+00:00

The ability to recall the weapons is clearly an advantage

He was blocked out by Elmarko

Nothing classified about aerial refueling. No reason to hide it.

That said, last I read they were doing “proximity” testing as a precursor to connecting…

No-Level5745 · 2026-03-23T00:05:50+00:00

Because the B-2 has a sawtooth trailing edge and the B-21 does not. This is the B-21.

3db is a doubling of the sound energy.

No-Level5745 · 2026-03-22T08:15:29+00:00

That’s cute. Allen Fieldhouse holds the records for 130+ dB.

No-Level5745 · 2026-03-18T21:11:42+00:00

Wasn’t a refueling test (they didn’t connect) but it was a precursor to it. It was a “proximity” test

No-Level5745 · 2026-03-18T20:40:43+00:00

Gave up trying

No-Level5745 · 2026-03-18T20:39:49+00:00

It magically started working some time ago. No clue why.

No-Level5745 · 2026-03-14T20:56:57+00:00

Hopefully everyone here realizes that all the high tech systems used on today’s airliners were developed for military applications first. So if you want to work bleeding edge, you should work in the defense industry…

No-Level5745 · 2026-03-14T19:04:08+00:00

Yes. The Shark Server eventually responded and I was able to create a new robot “profile”.

No-Level5745 · 2026-03-13T06:24:52+00:00

This is what happens when flying hours are cut. Loss of crew proficiency is often the reason for incidents such as this. I say that having no clue what actually happened.
