yeah the boneyard is a junkyard (not a scrapyard) but since theres a lotta superdelicate parts they take good care of em for junkers to make sure the fancy parts dont get cucked by the heat/sand. the relatively dry climate def helps here too yeah

but gently caress man just think what you could do if you got a couple buddies with sledgehammers and pickups, you could cart off tons of beautiful metal to sell to a scrapyard holy trumpin poo poo

This is a pretty good video:

The boneyard pic is pretty much a monument to awe inspiring level of waste created by the US military industrial complex.

I thought this was releveant, does this guy actually know his stuff? A lot of it is way over my head but dumbed down enough to where I can sorta comprehend it. I will admit his scenarios seem a little far fetched at time in relying on long chains of events but I have no idea how the modern air force really operates beyond what I saw in Top Gun. :911:

it's pretty legit he knows enough to compare them in a situation that would happen in the real world instead of the mythical 1 vs 1 dogfight people seem to think happens all the time

My guess is that is from the f-35 program by the Norwegian government

That giant loving logo in the bottom right would suggest that, at least, but this is a tough case to crack and I'm no sherlock holmes, so maybe if someone cam do some CSI style enhancing, we can solve this mystery wrapped in an enigma

Why you gotta be so rude? Anyway.

By all appearances, yes, but that's still a lovely citation since it's just an imgur link and not a link to the full presentation it was pulled from.

I would think they would at least match the shade of black on the slide and the logo.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Cause they went through the trouble of having the little black border on the bottom of the slide rise so it can contain the logo, so why stop there?

no but see 1v1 dogfights don't happen, if it outnumbers the enemy in extremely specific circumstances then it might be able to match a way older and less expensive jet
