To this day I think retiring the F-14 was a colossal mistake. During recess, nobody wanted to play with the F-15, F-16, F-18 -- gently caress that, the coolest toy plane at school was the F-14, it had moving wings. By all elementary school standards, it was the most modern and evolved airplane.

It was also in top gun so there's that.

My billion hour flight from Dallas to Sydney (via Brisbane) all in economy is coming up in a month. Has anyone here done a long haul with Qantas on the 747-400ER in coach? I'm dreading this flight. Thankfully I got a window seat.

Good news, If the headwinds are being a pain you can look forward to a refueling stop in Fiji or Auckland. And if the crew hit duty limits you might be spending the night.

Good stuff, I reckon that's the first photo i've seen of a jetstar 787 in the wild.

Actually found some more:

Fantastic articles, I'm plowing through all of them!

What's wrong Dailykos though? I'm not particularly familiar with the site but the comments on some of the stuff that former BUFF driver posted are really good.

It's an odd place for such articles to turn up I suppose.

The 'wing wave' is mostly done to say goodbye as the airplane will never see the home airport again (where it was made). :smith:

Nah mang, Blackhawks/Pavehawks are just spray and pray. Freshwater rinse, maybe some soap for some hard-to-reach areas, them things is golden. There's a reason that a blood/body-fluids rinse is named a CARWASH in Afghanistan.

I was at Kandahar watching that go down live on Pred Porn. Could only imagine having been there in person. Surreal watching Cobras lighting up their own airfield.

Did get to watch a US responder throw a grenade into a generator tent where a dipshit was hiding, though.

What the gently caress happened? Sounds crazy.

Why not just make the entire airplane out of what they use to make the black box? Those survive plane crashes, so therefore the entire plane could survive a plane crash no problem :downs:

But then we would never be able to find the plane.

Why would they shoot calipers at a helicopter? Seems like a strange thing to do, and a waste of good calipers. Of course, maybe they had an idea for a new and unique way of measuring things that we'll now never know.
