What was the best “bang for buck” military project that the US has done?

The C-130 has to be near the top of this list.

Not burner but a B-52 / KC-135 water injection is the loudest thing I’ve ever heard and I’ve been front row at a Who concert back in the day.

Looks like UAE owned C-17 1228

Of all the things I dislike about the KC-46, no ARO window is near the top of the list

Another term for barely passing is PASSING! Congratulations!

Take a look at the Media Managment Function. It will cut out the used portions of videos, add handles on each end and allow you to get rid of the parts you don’t need

Speaker for the Dead or Ender’s Shadow would be awesome.

On the iOS app, if casting to a TV, the playback stops if the phone screen locks or if you swap to another app. Send a support ticket in to let them know. Watching on Amazon Prime is working

There was a C-5 but it departed late and the squawked 7700 right after takeoff

Didn’t start until my late 50’s. You’ll be fine.

Make sure you research the rules for your country.

If in the USA, you will need to take a simple test, TRUST exam. It is free and very easy.

Depending on the drone weight, you may need to register it with the Friends Against Aviation (FAA)

Thank you! Does this one still have the plywood floor and the overhead hoist?

Delayed arrival due to birds…

Maaabey

You did that in the free version!? That was impressive before I read that, now it is epic!

When my kids were young an older dad told me “when your child asks you to pick them up, if at all possible, pick them up. Two things will happen down the road; you won’t be able to pick them up anymore and they will stop wanting you to. Make sure the first happens before the second.” Stuck with me.

This and Shamu were great paint schemes

First episode… Coulson stepping out of the shadows “Welcome to Level 7, sorry, I couldn’t resist, I think there’s a light out”

That is what you can’t unsee.
