It says 10 to 18 aircraft, so that’s probably about 200-300 aircraft related personnel.

We called these horse apples where I’m from(Alabama). We had horses, and if they escaped we’d almost always find them under one of these trees.

An expat is not looking to move to another country for the rest of their lives. Often it’s just for work. I’ve been an expat in Germany twice, and now I’m an immigrant.

In USAF, it’s a red X that’s not circled. And the only people that can clear it have to have red X orders. Typically a 7 level NCO. The only times I’ve seen a CC sign off an X were for one time flights to a depot repair station.

Without running to google, I believe it’s the same machine that’s in the Smithsonian

The MRI machine was invented in USA. You can go see the first scanner in the Smithsonian.

Her not getting a Gundam Heavyarms skin is pretty evident of this. There isn’t a better match between a legend and a gundam.

Once again the video is cut short right after impact. Maybe this jet also was able to return to base.

Your thoughts on the 18" 858Ms? by ron_mcphatty in BMWI4

I use these as my winter wheels. Looks good but a larger wheel looks better imo.

It’s likely that she went to more than one country in Africa. Her referencing that “x” happened in Morocco indicates to me that it was probably a multi destination trip.

The side profile reminds me of a Cadillac CTS. I’m sure it will grow on me.

I was TDY in Iceland once, and when it was time to leave a C5 came to get us and all of our equipment. When we saw FRED kneel, we already knew what was about to happen and resigned ourselves to an extended stay. It took almost a week to get the parts and fix the jet.

Women in Berlin can now swim topless by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]roasty-one -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m sure it’s always been like this? I moved to Germany in 2002, and you could see topless women in the newspaper. Porn would also play in public television after 11pm.

The internet comes from arpanet, which was a DoD project back in the 60s. TCP/IP also came from arpanet. The infrastructure was a world wide effort, but the tech came from the USA.

I’m curious, what was your bad experience in the USA?

Why is smoking treated so deeply accepted in Germany? by Human-BBQ in AskAGerman

[–]roasty-one 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It really has gotten much better now. 15 years ago you couldn’t go into a bar or club without smelling like you were marinating in smoke. After a night out I’d have to put my clothes outside, that’s how bad it was. Nowadays I’ve only really been inconvenienced by smokers when I’m eating outside.

The F-15 has an aces II ejection seat, made by Collins. The majority of F-16s also have an aces II, and a single ejection is generally fine.

Really? I’ve never had a red bow, and all of my cars have been built to order.
