flyusaf83 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 No, it's not Dwight Schrute's "horse-boat", but I'm sure his Iranian counterpart was integral in the acquisition process. https://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2010-09/irans-boat-plane-thing-would-strike-fear-other-flying-military-boats-if-they-existed
brickhistory Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Stand down with your fear-mongering, mister. Once again, good ol' Uncle Sam's already been there... Unfortunately, the 'captain' of this US Navy floatie thing was relieved of command due to saying the word "fcuk."
M2 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Jeez, Brick, don't tell me even you can't say 'FUCK' on here!?!
ClearedHot Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Damn! Why didn't we think of something like that?!? We did...
StoleIt Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Same with the Russians... Boeing was looking into this as well: https://www.boeing.com/news/frontiers/archive/2002/september/i_pw.html
HuggyU2 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 4 of these on Lake Amistad for rent would do a lot for getting volunteers to KDLF,... me thinks.
nunya Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 So they basically militarized a Lake Amphib? How creative.
BQZip01 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 When they have one that can go supersonic, then I'll be concerned...40 years ago...
LockheedFix Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Does anybody else find it humorous that they went to the trouble of putting F-22 style angles on the fuselage and tail so it would be "stealthy" and then stuck a big propeller on top?
