Does a bear split in the woods near Zheleznogorsk?
No loving way. :stare:

Edit: Twitter is debating whether it's legit or just a weird angle on a 60 with the newer engines.

Why would they fly their semi-secret LO helicopter in broad daylight in a place everyone in the world is currently watching?

Desperation and the knowledge that it's not that secret anymore anyway.

If that's even what is going on, which I doubt after seeing the photographic debate.

I was not glued to the news while this was all going down, did people actually cling to the planes as they were taking off? I saw footage of people running all over them while they were on the tarmac but none of what happened when they started moving.

And we just found the picture of him getting it, after getting pulled back in from near the Rockpile to Dong Ha for his MARS call home.

There's footage (didn't view) of people falling from a plane well and truly in the air, but I don't know if they were hanging off random bits or hanging onto wheel struts etc.

They've been at war for nearly several decades, I'm sure they've figured out trigger discipline.

I, unfortunately, ran across footage of a dude jammed/caught in the upper part of the right main gear door flapping in the wind at probably 10k or higher

It is my understanding that east Asian generally think that westerners look like monkeys because they are hairy and have long noses (comparatively). Also we're big and dumb.
