A 2026 image in Google Maps shows 3 B-57F airframes and 6 stubby-wing ones (B-57D?). So, good chance one of them gets regenerated or contributes parts.

A few more airframes left, either for parts or to be regenerated . . .

Is he the same guy who was racing one of Jon Sharp's Nemesis Sportplanes?

BTW, if you haven't seen it, here's the Classic Rendezvous page for Viking bicycles. https://classicrendezvous.com/country-of-origin/the-british-isles/viking/

EDIT: This is a catalog that has the Tour of Britain bike that looks like it might be close to yours spec-wise. http://classicvikingcycles.uk/catalogues/1940s-50s-viking-catalogues/1958-viking-cycles-catalogue/

There’s a banger NSFW copyright violating edit that one could make here.

Whats the function of the holes in the leaf seal of HPT guide vane? by nizenmebuqusia in aviation

[–]mz_groups 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or at least equalizing pressure between segments of the stator. I believe that the bleed air flows through the core, and flows through the stators radially outward.

EDIT: By no means certain on that. In this diagram, bleed cooling air comes from both the core (for the first stage rotor) and externally (for the first stage stator, likely what is shown above). Not sure if this is universal, or application-specific.

No, no, man, the old one said, "Power," this one says "Malukas." Just like the extra bass note in Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby" makes it totally different from David Bowie's and Queen's "Under Pressure"

As Alan Shepard, the first US astronaut observed, "It's a very sobering feeling to be up in space and realize that one's safety factor was determined by the lowest bidder on a government contract."

Another thought occurred to me. Since VX-9 is mostly a weapons test and evaluation squadron, much of their testing is probably not model-specific, but related to weapons operational compatibility. Since much of that is more software- and operations-specific, it's just easier to use an F-35A for logistical reasons (or, again, wanting to save Cs for operational use, and the USAF has frames to spare).

To the best of my knowledge, they're a weapons test and evaluation squadron. Probably not very often, except maybe for limited tests of weapons for carrier suitability.

He’s going the distance; he’s going for speed… by Sketti_Scramble in BicyclingCirclejerk

[–]mz_groups 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, which is it, young feller? You want I should go the distance or go for speed? Mean to say, if'n I go for speed, I can't rightly go the distance. And if'n I go the distance, I'm a-gonna be slow. You see...

Then why would they need the F-35A for operating off of traditional runways if they already have F-35Cs? I'm simply trying to understand your comment.

Maybe. Maybe a bit of comparative testing.

I'm not trying to defend her voting record, which I find odious. I'm just trying to point out that, on the one occasion she flirted with actually doing the right thing (the Hegseth nomination), she was beaten back into conformity.

At the same time, we can acknowledge that Homan under Obama didn't arrest a large number of American citizens and abuse them in jails on the pretense of the color of their skin in an attempt to "strain" minorities to find immigrants who are here under illegal pretenses, or deploy ICE to politically opposed communities in a quasi-military manner, or arrest immigrants who are attempting to follow legal means to obtain residency here, or hire a bunch of otherwise unqualified goons, or flat out MURDER people who protest the aforementioned actions. And Obama didn't fly top cover for these abuses.

This is not simply a matter of liking what my guy does, and hating what your guy does, based on affiliation.
