The manual backup is usually a handle that blows the canopy breaker explosives. If it's a choice between a tornado of fiberglass and explosions, or waiting for the firemen to cut me out, I know which one I'm going with.

The manual backup on an F-22 is a speed handle and a poo poo ton of cranking.

I can't remember why that wasn't an option in the photo but cutting the canopy is definitely preferable to blowing it.

Watching muds rice fields get carpet bombed while hell march plays in the background got me pretty hard, not gonna lie.

Also, flamethrower tanks just seems like the most metal idea we've ever had.

Some screws came loose in just the right fashion to physically prevent the canopy from being able to open.

The best part is that the sequence of events started with a red ball for canopy unlock indication...so after cycling it several times and being unable to get it to clear, after the last cycle is got stuck in the down and locked position (i.e., the cycling caused the last bit of movement for the screws to finish working themselves loose into the position needed to physically prevent the canopy from opening.)

Let's be honest here, there's not much worth celebrating about someone who invades a foreign country and shoots a bunch of people resisting said invasion from half a mile away. He sure as poo poo wasn't defending anyone's freedom.

You had me climbing all over the walls looking for something on AP. But there's nothing there because it's just a press release from Ukraine about how the 'rebels' have amazingly high end Russian hardware.

Speaking of Canadians and snipers, it looks like un-freedom having Canadians have engaged IS in Iraq

quote:

Canadian soldiers have fired on Islamic State (IS) militants in Iraq, in what is thought to be the first confirmed ground battle involving Western forces.

Acting in self-defence, the Canadians used sniper fire and did not suffer any casualties, said the general in charge.

It happened as the Canadians had moved closed to the front line after a meeting with Iraqi leaders.

There are 600 Canadian troops helping in airstrikes against IS, which took over large parts of Iraq and Syria.

"My troops had completed a planning session with senior Iraqi leaders several kilometres behind the front lines," Canadian special forces commander Brigadier General Michael Rouleau said on Monday.

"When they moved forward to confirm the planning at the front lines in order to visualise what they had discussed over a map, they came under immediate and effective mortar and machine gunfire."

He said the Canadians used sniper fire and "neutralised" the enemy without taking any casualties.

This was "the first time we've taken fire and returned fire" in Iraq, he added.

I didn't actually know that we had so many people in the region, it's not something that's being heavily reported here, at any rate. I wonder how much stuff like this goes on that never sees the light of day.

I thought we'd established during the controversy over The Interview (or probably before, who knows) that Seth Rogen is a lovely, desperately unfunny comedian who's competing with even more lovely and unfunny Jonah Hill to be the right-hand man to leader of the man atop the comic pile of poo poo, James Franco.
