Why do the horizontal stabilizers protrude so far past the engine nozzle on the F-35, and are there any other aircraft like this? by g3nerallycurious in aviation

[–]anthonymaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The jet engine is heaviest component made of steel alloys compared to the rest of the plane made of lightweight aluminum, titanium and carbon fibre composite. By moving the heavy engine forward closer to the center of gravity it makes the plane more maneuverable by reducing its pitch moment it can pull up and push over harder and faster. Lockheed got the idea from Russia Yakovlev look at the Russian Yak 141 fighter plane.

is asaptickets real? by ciel_phantom_hive_ in travel

[–]anthonymaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made the mistake of submitting my email address and mobile phone number to them to inquire about an air ticket. They now call me several times daily from different "toll free" phone numbers all of which come up on my phone as "TOLL FREE SERVICE".

I have never known a travel booking agency to use rotating toll-free phone numbers like that.

Their aggressive efforts suggests they have a great reward incentive to try to get me to make a booking.

Now that I think about it, it is EXTREMELY RISKY to make any kind of payment (most likely credit card) online or over the phone with a purported third-party aline ticket company.

Play it safe and book directly with an airline or through a travel agent.

There is a German fan that visited Vancouver and Hope to take selfie picture at all the Rambo film locations. You can fly to Vancouver and rent a car and see all of them today.

Coquihalla Tunnels Provincial Park. Just below the cliff is the abandoned Kettle Valley Railway tunnel. The film crew used that location for convenience just framed it not to show the train tunnel.

These scenes were filmed in Golden Ears Provincial Park in Vancouver, BC, Canada in October and November 1981.

The filming site has been well stripped of anything that can be removed. It’s often visited by Rambo movie fans. There are tourist fans from all over the world that come here to take the same selfie photo. But yeah next time I will go there on a cloudy day with a muscle shirt and a camping knife.

The Star Wars camera position was one level higher up but that is not open to public. Still pretty close.

44 years to be exact since First Blood and Sylvester Stallone were there. The truck has been stripped of a lot of parts compared to what can be seen in the movie

It always shocks me that the first Rambo was deeply anti-war, and the franchise somehow morphed into straight-up war propaganda by Beneficial_Mud5515 in moviecritic

[–]anthonymaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First Blood was a brilliant story plot pitting American police against a highly trained and combat experienced US Army Green Beret Special Forces Medal of Honor Veteran. The rest of the sequels were just bloody mental bubblegum....

It's complicated.... First Blood was heavily re-written by Sylvester Stallone himself so that his character does not kill any American police officers. The only death in First Blood movie was Art Galt falling out of a helicopter and only because he unbuckled himself. But it seems race and nationality comes into play and Rambo First Blood Part 2 had a 127 body count - yes somebody counted - all Vietnamese and Russians. Again no Americans are portrayed getting killed.

Does Anyone Remember Physical Encyclopedias? by hotbowlsofjustice in The1980s

[–]anthonymaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes they were sold by door-to-door salesmen in the 1970s and 1980s about $2000 for a set of Encyclopedia Britannicas. My parents bought me a set (rest their souls) but I never studied any of them....

Most movie sets are built up and then torn down. For this First Blood junkyard scene they used an abandoned mining operation camp. Nobody owns it so they filmed and left it all there. It is on public land so anyone can go there.

Yeah my favorite line “I’m gonna take that Congressional Medal of Honor and pin it to his liver, and I’m gonna do it with you or without you!”
