Guardian Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 They tested this stuff back in the 60's already. Was hard to get the extra energy to counteract the outward forces caused by a circular runway. This was back in the f9 panther and cougar days. Days where the airplanes were already super underpowered. But I think it caused a lot of weird stresses on the landing gear too.

TreeA10 Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 bbc.com Indonesian man's body found inside python - police - BBC News Image copyright West Sulawesi Police Image caption Police said they had cut the snake open and found the man inside A missing Indonesian man was found dead inside the body of a python, according to local police. Akbar went missing on Sunday on the island of Sulawesi, after leaving to harvest palm oil. In the search for the 25-year-old, police told BBC Indonesian that they had found a huge snake they suspected had swallowed the man. The reticulated python, reported to be 7m (23ft)-long, was cut open and the man's body was found. Video shot by police showed the snake being cut open with a long knife, slowly revealing the man's clothed body. How can a snake eat a human? Reticulated pythons are among the world's longest reptiles and suffocate their victims before swallowing them whole. Pythons rarely kill and eat humans, although there are occasional reports of them swallowing young children or animals. Image copyright West Sulawesi Police Mashura, a spokesperson for the police in West Sulawesi province told BBC Indonesian that villagers reported to police that Akbar had been missing for 24 hours. Police then conducted a search and found the snake near the family's palm plantation. "They didn't find him (Akbar), but the villagers saw an unmoving python in the ditch. They grew suspicious that maybe the snake had Akbar. When they cut it open, Akbar was inside the snake," Mashura, who like many Indonesians goes by one name, said. Village secretary Salubiro Junaidi told The Jakarta Post: "People had heard cries from the palm grove the night before Akbar was found in the snake's stomach. "When the snake was captured, the boots Akbar was wearing were clearly visible in the stomach of the snake. "Resident cut open the belly of the snake and Akbar was lifeless." Nia Kurniawan, from Brawijaya University, told BBC Indonesian that a python of this size would hunt for large prey, such as boars or wild dogs. While they normally avoid human settlements, they would see palm oil plantations as a good hunting ground, he said, as they attract animals like boars, primates or dogs. The reticulated python (Python reticulatus) Is the longest snake in the world Is believed capable of reaching over 10m (32ft) in length The longest in captivity is held in Kansas City, US, and measured 7.6m (25ft) in 2011, according to Guinness World Records Lives in forestry, is normally fearful of humans and is rarely seen Is often treated as a sacred animal in parts of Indonesia when caught Is one of dozens of python species, which are found in sub-Saharan Africa, Australia, Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, Burma, China, and Southeast Asia
HuggyU2 Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Attention squadron commanders: when your people want to harvest palm oil, demand that they complete the Hazardous Activities Form.
