I got GAS CURES KIKES 3 times in a 4 hour period with that picture last night. And when I got HATE CURES TRANNYS I got him in trouble with his girlfriend. Very happy with the results in produces.

HATE CURES TRANNYS posted:
Chinatown posted:Did he get some sort of weird turbulence/slip stream effect and then just went "gently caress this" and dove? Every adjustment the receiver makes is slow and tedious, and it takes a few seconds for control inputs to take effect...as they connected, the AWACS kept moving in and got too close. The boom retracted to avoid damage, the two planes did a breakaway maneuver, but the AWACS was slow to respond to control inputs and the tail of the tanker dipped as the pilot pulled up. That was the theory of a guy that has piloted both of them, anyway. For some reason several other versions of this video that were labeled properly were taken down...I guess using E-8 was this guy's way around that? He says E-3 in the description.

What even happened here?
|
By the looks of it, the tanker pitched down and the AWACS crew didn't chop throttles. It was just a hosed up break away but now I'm feeling like it wasn't even called because if the E-3 did chop throttles they'd be out of there in a loving hurry. credentials: I've been in a few break aways -- real world and simulated. Like this one that I recorded. Skip to :30 to see what I'm talking about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g42R8hemBVs bloops fucked around with this message at 00:19 on Jun 1, 2013 |

Question: would the guys in the back even notice? To my knowledge I've never been in one of these, but gently caress if I know. Combat descents, however, are awesome. We had a female co who put our pilot to shame when we did Iron Falcon and got to do a CD two days in a row.

The E-3 break away procedures are to chop throttles, hold the jet level. Rekinom can yay or nay this, but the tanker guys accelerate and climb while we slide out back. So you'd probably feel a sudden deceleration if anything because we're going from pushing 16,000 pounds per hour fuel flow (which is a lot) to idle.

It wasn't a called breakaway. The boom just said "Go, go, go." Tankers don't climb during breakaways unless we can't get lateral separation and the boom calls for it. If we're practicing and the emergency separation is the last thing we're doing, then we'll sometimes climb to the top of the block for convenience's sake, but it's not procedure. Speculation: The tanker's autopilot couldn't handle the bow wave from the E-3 that was coming in too fast. The autopilot kicked off leaving the jet out of trim, causing it to pitch up. The pitch up brought its tail down towards the receiver. That, along with a pilot that may have not been ready to handle the tanker and a receiver with a fast closure rate gives you this video. I've had the autopilot kick off with C-17s and the jet can be a bitch to handle when that happens.

Ya that makes sense. You're right about the tanker a/p kicking off. That's happened in AR twice that I've seen to the same result -- windscreen full of -135 belly. It'll get your attention quick.

I recall it being on loan from the NSA museum. There was at least 3 touchable/visitor usable engima machines when I went there, a bunch more behind display cases. Museum is geared towards kids too, so there's lots of activities for them (code-wheels, crypto coloring/cyrpto activity books, WW2 navajo code challenges, etc) to keep them busy while you wander around there.

I've always actually wondered how many Enigma machines are out there, I figured the majority would have been destroyed in the closing days of ww2. I've found one a piece in the Intelligence Corps Museum in chicksands and the Royal Signals Museum in Blandford Forum - I'd guess theres one in Bletchley Park as well. So a fuckton probably if NSA have 3.

there was a fuckton of engima machines out there after ww2. After WW2 ended, the US & UK gave all the newly forming nations/former colonies free engima machines to help their security out. Not mentioning that the US & UK could crack the engima encryption, of course. The Codebreakers by David Kahn http://amzn.com/0684831309 goes over everything in mathematically numbing detail. I try to re-read it every so often, and see if I can understand more of the math. quantumfoam fucked around with this message at 12:14 on Jun 1, 2013 |

Dead Reckoning posted:We really should bring back napalm. Maybe for just one day a year, like throwback uniform night at the ballpark. Believe it or not, napalm is still in the US inventory. I was talking to a pilot a long time ago, and he told me a story about a time they wanted to use napalm to clear out the vegetation on this island in the middle of the Euphrates (Iraq, of course). Their request had to be routed up to a two or three-star level for approval, I believe, and took around two weeks. So hey, it can still happen!

It's set in a high school alternate universe. Full disclosure, I watch the show, but I also don't talk about it; I'm nervous even mentioning it in GiP -- however, the drama around the show of late is fantastic. Edit for content from a guy I work with:
