Being a pilot wasn't enough reason for them?? 😁😆

Im starting to think at the rate they are dumping super bugs they are trying to extend the production line life.

Why the move to Utah?

Supposedly Ron Howard is in pre-production to film this. I wonder how true and accurate it will be given how bad the Navy will look and how liberal Howard is.

Does he get a watch and scarf?

I was at KPAE today and saw the newest KC-46 doing touch and goes, plane comes around high and fast, absolutely plants the mains, bounces the nose and goes around. Young kid around 10 or so runs over to his dad and says "Dad, that was a military grade touch and go". This has to be the best term I've heard for a terrible approach and crappy landing.

Try screenshot and paste

Looks like a slicker version of the Marchetti M346

Spoken like a true helo guy 😁

What is this "Flare" technique that everyone keeps referring too. I say it's the grounds fault for being in the way.

Now reports saying Lear 55 med-flight with 6 on board

Anyone seen Den of Thief's 2?

I mean how dare they line up to land on the boat they came off. Serves them right for not being Air Force. 😁🫡

Agree with you and I would expand beyond that. FL SC GA NC hit by two hurricanes which are natural disasters so yes it makes sense our tax dollars go to help. The LA fire is arson, in fact in two communities they already caught people trying to start additional fires and the neighbors beat the crap out of the people trying to start the fires. So why are our tax dollars being spent via FEMA on arson and poor state management?

I've never heard of declaring an emergency asking for nearest landing then later changing your mind and saying we just want to go back home.

Has anyone used a linear compensator? Is it actually quieter? Do you like it vs a normal muzzle break?

That's got to be a long interesting flight

That's the same one that hangs out in Mark's hanger right?

Seems to me like a chance to prove how "stealthy" the 35 really is.

The way I heard it from Boeing when I was at Boeing was they originally submitted the 777-200 cargo for the original RFP but the USAF declined it saying it wouldn't fit in existing hanger, changed the rfp to require the same footprint and let the A300/767 battle begin. The 777-200 apparently crushed every requirement of the original RFP for fuel capacity, cargo capacity and troop transport.

50 more jets found with production issues of mis-drilled holes, Spirit taking the blame at the moment

Is it split/broken forward of the wing? They landed gear up? Those are beefy gear to rip off

Next on who did it better

Ted Strikers best landing.
