BaconAndBullets posted:Most of that is fairly simple. Pretty much all of those nose arts are based off of Milwaukee/WI based companies, landmarks, or just straight up Wisconsinite type stuff (the Buck). King Kong is a little odd but he's hanging off of the Mitchell International air traffic control tower, where the ANG air wing is based out of. If you ever fly in to it you'll see all sorts of KC-135s just chilling there. What unit in WI is going to jump? FWIW, I saw some dudes jumping from a C-130 at McCoy this past Summer, no idea who they were though.

From what I'm tracking there are no airborne units in the WI NG. The only unit I can think of jumping is 19th Group out of Chicago or maybe some NG/Reserve Civil Affairs. I only learned about Badger DZ from this video, just a reminder feet and knees together. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOsGnaeT03k Edit: Hell yeah stevenolson, I actually grew up in Mequon and went to Homestead Highschool.

I'm WI ARNG. You're correct, no airborne units in this state. I think Indiana or Michigan have some sort of airborne units in addition to the SF guys in Chicago. I'm originally from the Milwaukee area and live in Madison these days.

Well, at least the flight crew only had to drive a few miles to go clean out their desks. Really it's almost eerily like the Peter O'Knight landing: smaller civil field with the same runway heading, located in the approach corridor. Of course, it's one runway not two, and there isn't an air museum or a giant fuckoff ramp full of KC-135s attached to it... Cross-check your navaids, kids.

Michigan had an airborne LRS company for a while but it disbanded in 2011, not sure what else would have jump status these days.

Can-O-Raid posted:I legit don't understand how you can land a plane at the wrong airport in a day and age when every commercial aircraft (in the US at least) had GPS onboard. When you're at the trailing end of your duty time, you're staring at approach lighting, and someone says "cleared visual approach," sometimes you forget to double check... It happens not too infrequently down here, KMIA and KOPF have very similar runway layouts, and are only a few miles apart. It used to happen a LOT.

They were never cleared visual. They were cleared the RNAV. If they bothered to load the approach or pay attention to their MFDs, then they would've realized where they were. I think they were more lazy and complacent than anything .

The best part is when they ask for the coordinates of where they landed.

Is that dude supposed to be 20 feet off the ground instead of 6 inches or what? Ain't nobody dying from throwing themselves off backwards at that height.

I think the idea is that if you throw yourself backwards from that position you're going to rupture your femoral artery in a very interesting fashion.

I'm pretty sure that's what the finnish ranger equivalents were taught at some point called a "sissilukko" (a rangers lock ) and considering it was/is something used as a prank by showing any unsuspecting victims how to do it and then leavening them hugging some lamppost, I seriously doubt it can be deadly. Edit: You can die by staying on a toilet seat for too long. It makes your leggs feel really funny, but isn't that effective, because someone strong enough or flexible enough can free themselves from it. Also, I was offered a chance to see it for myself by getting to spend some time with a lamppost. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EoOgdI1MXs How a sissilukko is done.

The modern version is making the guy hug a thick tree while sitting down and then zip tieing their thunbs together. Behold, a soviet APC from the fifties. Comes with a permanent smoke generator.  T-55 vs. 30 mm APFSDS.

I can't embedded it, but the New Yorker put together an excellent video summary of the work I've done identifying the munition used in the August 21st Sarin attack in Damascus, Syria. The explosive version of the same type of munition is pictured below, in Homs
