  1. Charging stations the grid can’t support don’t fix the 96 minutes it takes to charge the vehicle. Also the more I read about this “infrastructure” bill, the more it sounds like New Green Deal...
  2. Truth. Even our trainers, whose primary mission is flying in the NAS can’t. #acquisitionswin
  3. That just highlights that the tech isn’t ready for prime time.
  4. *than the government is willing to pay for Auto thrust reduction would 100% solve the problem, works with the C-130J, too. Whether the AF is willing to fork over money to have the FADECs do their thing is another matter. And that’s also why they’re keeping 8 engines. Changing to 4 would be a TON of engineering work for the pylons and subsystems etc they’re not interested in. They’re barely interested in doing the work to make the engineering for a nearly similarly sized engine work.
  5. Plus or minus the Blue Angels footage.
  6. VA hospitals were getting marginally efficient at care, so the terrorists had to knock it back down to deplorable.
  7. So the there’s also less engineering work to do with keeping 8 similarly sized engines when you consider all the hydro subsystems etc., although figuring out how to deliver the power with modern gens has been an issue they have worked through. Clark wrt more thrust, that’s actually not a good thing. Would over stress the wing spars etc. It’s never a thrust limited airplane; there’s virtually no condition heavyweight where more thrust is needed. Control authority and steel brakes are the limiting factors.
  8. Banging a subordinate? Sounds like something you’d expect a leader to be fired for.
  9. That was also phenomenal.
  10. White Supremacy is the Root of All Race-related Violence in the US Excellent, glad the science is settled on that.
  11. Sadly they didn’t consult me in the late 80s wrt naming the strike pig, but you’ve got light grey, dark grey, and now nouveau medium grey. Done. The S, I, J, K, and SG all make a bunch of sense given the buyers.
  12. Eagle II? It’s just another Eagle. If we bought Block 69 vipers to meet 4+ needs, are they going to seriously call it the FF II?
  13. What’s the Kendi quote, “the only solution for past discrimination is present discrimination, and the only solution for present discrimination is future discrimination”? So all aspects, I think.
  14. I’m still wondering how they have managed to avoid getting penalized for flying the Russian flag.
  15. He is, but that clever cockiness really fits with the brand RB is going for it seems. If they were the perennially dominant team, I think it would be unbearable. I think Toto has a bit of an arrogant ego, too, but it’s usually hidden behind ze German understated front. And for Haas...if the driver goes so does your major sponsor, so it’s a tight spot.
  16. Exactly. Spun in every round of practice, quali, and then the race itself. Passed people on an outlap he had no chance of outpacing on the quali laps. Just a real gem. Too bad they don’t air the GPDA meetings.
  17. If they could figure a way to depict Mazespin wrong way round, perfect. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
  18. The money talks, same with Force Point Aston Martin Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
  19. Tangentially related to ClearedHot’s issue: all the aviation motor rebuild shops are also backlogged like crazy, so it seems like it is the time across the board to get rebuilds done combined with shops navigating restrictions. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
  20. I just assumed that after listening to even their mainstream stuff from the 90s people knew that. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
  21. Duckworth to vote No on any cabinet member who isn’t “diverse” https://www.yahoo.com/news/duckworth-threatens-biden-nominees-over-210241753.html So you’re going to vote solely on one particular immutable characteristic? Weird.
  22. Sending half your students only through T-6s is pretty much what’s changed if I’ve understood the talking points correctly.
  23. First step: give them different wings, ensuring them that no one will see them any differently Second step: cut all flying from their training Third step: profit
  24. That revelation in the form of the article may be new...but the exercise being described was in 2015. The PLAAF had made a lot of changes since 2015...
  25. NTAs are by far better than most Tower controlled fields, generally.
