Throatwarbler posted:I thought they worked well enough, except the only problem was that they couldn't really handle rough seas that you might encounter on the open ocean, so other than the Caspian Sea and a few other inland bodies of water it wasn't really usable anywhere else. They do open ocean ok too, unless things are REALLY out of hand. You just can't run them over land (without dramatically crashing into every single terrain feature).

I think cold war soviet union existed just to invent things for the upcoming Command and Conquer game series.

"The SR-71 had a turning radius of about 100 mi. at that speed and altitude, so I wasn't even sure what state we were going to land in." That is mind boggling.

eggyolk posted:Even if it didn't have a toilet I'd still fly in it just to say I'd poo poo in my pants while going supersonic. I think I'd prefer to say that I DIDN'T poo poo my pants going faster than sound.

eggyolk posted:It begs asking, would you even hear the sound of the poo poo hitting your pants? Have you ever flown in a plane? Your drink doesn't suddenly hit the rear bulkhead when you set it down. Everything in the plane is traveling at the same speed. If you poo poo your pants in the Concorde it would be just like the last time you did it at your computer desk.

Ola posted:Holy hell that is a boatload of alpha. So close to making a very big mistake, the hook almost caught the wire and would have written off the airplane in a huge pancake splat. Did the cable break? that's what it looks like.
