dupersaurus posted:Really that’s why I GoPro most of my flights. It’s not like I’m doing anything worth sharing, but if someone wants to gently caress up in front of me… I had one of those moments at SNA a while back. We were waiting to take off, and a C-172 completely botched a landing, to the point where the airplane hits the runway, bounces, lands in the dirt next to the runway (towards the airplanes waiting to depart), then swerves back onto the runway and finally stops. The airplane taxied off the runway, and about the only repercussions were the tower controller sending the next airplane around, and us being very annoyed we didn't get it on camera.

I know the icon size is misleading but I like imagining that the pilot showed the kids a 400kt break turn at the tip of its nose.

Corona satellite film capture is cool, but have you ever considered pigeon photography for fun and profit?KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:wheres the birds dick Most birds don’t have dicks. There are exceptions, and ratites, the group to which kiwis belong, is a major one. Ostriches, emus, rheas, and cassowaries have dicks. But kiwis are an exception to the exception and don’t have dicks.

tactlessbastard posted:I believe the Germans had one they assembled and tried to infiltrate formations with. The Germans ended up with quite a few usable Allied heavy bombers. In addition to more usual roles (IE studying them and using them for training) the Germans really liked using them as heavy transport aircraft, as this was something they had almost none of. I've heard the story of wolf in sheep's clothing, and this was definitely a worry of Allied Air Commanders during World War 2. That said, I've never seen a concrete example.

Joe Edwards and my old man went to the same highschool in podunk Alabama umpteen decades ago at this point. I've heard Joe tell the story in person a few times now as he does talking circuits from time to time talking about being a shuttle pilot. Hell of a guy.
