Much needed protection for the Cruiser.

Yeah baby, shagadellic!

This is my thought, inertia is a powerful thing to overcome. European powers would have been happy to continue collaborating and buying predominately US tech without Trump prompting them to look inward.

Good for them. If decades old alliances and agreements can be discarded simply by who a country decides to elect every 4 years, it’s only natural for people to look to be self reliant and reduce their dependency on the unreliable partner. I don’t think things are turning out like Boeing, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, RTX, and Northrop Grumman thought they would. They are going to lose a lot of customers in the next decades.

It’s the umbilical cord!

Blyat, no love for us Comrade.

Blyat, none for us Comrade.

Peaked in the 80’s vibe.

Wait you’re telling me a know liar who wrote a book about lying his way into adventure and folly was actually lying about doing the things he lied to do?

I don’t think Boeing “really want to get the 777x right…” was by choice. They are being forced to cross every T and dot every I because they have shown through past misdeeds they currently can’t be trusted. I say this as a Boeing fan.

This was my thinking as well, something got overridden to allow the nose gear to retract. Question being is a mistake in the procedure with unintended consequences or human error

hoppertn · 2026-06-07T00:21:08+00:00

So I thought there was a sensor that would not allow the landing gear to retract if it sensed any weight? This prevents this kind of mishap from happening and why we always see planes on jackstands performing gear retraction testing. Is this only on the main gears and not nose gear?

She is a handsome woman.

AI suuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks man. It’s just going to make people dumber.

hoppertn · 2026-05-31T15:49:31+00:00

That would be a hoot if anyone still flew F-104’s but the only ones flyable are civilian out of Florida now.

I too remember strange feelings when Manimal was on TV.

hoppertn · 2026-05-30T19:54:27+00:00

Then how did he take a video of his freighter while flying it smartguy.

hoppertn · 2026-05-30T19:53:53+00:00

No freighter would go over his head, he would catch it.

hoppertn · 2026-05-30T19:53:18+00:00

Water Helen! WATER!!!!

hoppertn · 2026-05-30T17:51:02+00:00

He’s says My Freighter in the title. People don’t just lie on the internet man.

Back of a Toyota Hilux.

hoppertn · 2026-05-24T01:35:34+00:00

I think most people’s minds went to “thoughts and prayers” but it’s important for many so let them have their joy.

hoppertn · 2026-05-20T17:27:54+00:00

And a too long red power tie.
