azflyboy posted:Has anyone seen more details about what happened there? Since you can see the pilot side door open during the video, I have to wonder if someone didn't accidentally raise the collective to start that whole mess, since it looks like simply dumping the collective throughout most of that sequence would have done nothing more serious than cause a hard landing. My father flew Jetrangers before transitioning to the CH-46, and his take on the video was that the explanation they gave of high winds was bullshit. If you watch closely, he snags his skid on the roller pad, and instead of settling down, he adds power and yanks the collective, which just serves to cock him right into the ground. If he'd not panicked, the guy observing could've nudged him loose and they could've made another attempt. He hosed up.

Looking forward to the next part drat, I was afraid of that. Since around Christmas chaos in my life has been high and it's slowed down writing, and for the first time I used google docs to write instead of blogger; and I discovered that copying and pasting from there left a bunch of junk formatting. I'm gonna try to get rid of it, suggestions welcome (PM me awkward sentences plz, namaste) vessbot posted:I went to read Achtung Zeppelin from the beginning and the pics are broken Try th' blog, it is better there

I did what I shoulda done in the first place: make a clean sweep of the post, then redo all the formatting.

I really look forward to your effort posts and always enjoy them. Especially when you've been writing too long and cuttin' and pastin' poo poo also, thanks This one ran way too long because I wanted to cover 1) the sad leftovers of 1945, 2) Nazi wunder-waffen alts, and 3) some of what happened after. And this was way too complex and I got lead down a million interesting rabbit holes - it took that Baade post to get me to realize I should split them up.

There's an SR-71 anecdote that they'd announce flight paths a few days in advance, and then not fly them, just to watch the noise complaints and reimbersment demands for broken windows roll in.

This all is far from unusual. istr that the cover page of CYYZ's annual noise complaint report says outright "like most large airports, the vast majority of Pearson's complaints come from a small number of highly motivated individuals"

Is the Huey the largest two blade chopper? Now that I think about it the only two blade copters I've heard are little Robinsons and the like.

Definitely a Huey (or old Cobra, same spinny bits). That's nothing compared to the two times (going out and returning a few days later, presumably) a three-ship of CH-53Es flew directly over my house at like 200 feet. Things were falling off shelves. Since then, I've called the Super Stallion "the dubstep machine."

The last place I lived got traffic from Sun'n'Fun. What was amazing about that is just how loud anywhere around an F-18 is. The pressure change would make the ping pong ball in the roof vent bounce excitedly. That and checking the mail with four ship flights of seemingly all the Texans/Harvards zooming by. What a sound.

I live in between Luke AFB and the bombing range down by Yuma. Luke has F-35's now. If I'm outside they are pretty loud (certainly louder than the F-16's) as they fly back and forth, sometimes directly overhead, but honestly I rarely notice them inside the house. Now if I lived close to the departure end of the runways I'm sure it would be a lot more noticable!

People still complain about the noise from Oceana...those pussies never lived there when the up-engined Tomcats were flying around. The irony is that most of them are bitching and complaining because ~their property values~, but if Oceana closes, their property values will take a giant dump. Also, Fentress Field used to be out in the middle of nowhere down there, but now upper-middle-class douches have built their McCompounds out there, so now all the training flights have to come in from a specific corridor to use it, lest they incur the wrath of wealthy suburban refugees.

My hometown is across a strait from the naval air station on Whitdbey Island, and it wasn't anything when I was growing up but when the changeover happened to EF-18Gs a lot of residents on the toney east side of town started getting in a snit over the audible roar coming from the direction of the air station. It's so far removed from a jet actually flying over your house though, just a bit of an occasional distant roar buuuuut these are some super rich folks we're talking about.

Don’t worry. In 20 years when most of the boomers are dead, the housing market will take a giant dump and the suburbs will clear out and we’ll be free to let airports and racetracks be themselves again.
