Huaco Kid Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Sometimes, I'd get to work in the morning and the blimp would be right overhead, engines screaming, pointed into the strong winds, towards the field, several miles away. When you came out at the end of the day, it would be in the exact same spot, engines screaming, pointed towards the field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheygriz Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 One of the most beautiful aircraft ever to fly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tous Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I don't know whose troops those are, but they were very lackadaisical getting to and boarding the aircraft. No way those were American lads. And what was with the broom? I also noted a safety flag on the frost gear that vanished right before launch. Come to think of it, the ground crewman also vanished. I love the sound of turbines in the morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is that, if they can teleport that ground person, then what purpose does the helicopter serve. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First thing I thought of was a long winded dissertation on alias errors in digital sampling. (In analog the shutter quantizes the signal so it all applies to analog too. I thought better of it. Sometimes I realize that nobody cares... Although, during the Viet Nam War the North Vietnamese used vertical black paint stripes on railway cars to defeat that era smart missiles via sampling errors.

M&P15T Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 On 3/21/2020 at 2:04 AM, Eric said: I saw this at Joint Airbase Andrews years ago. This video doesn't do any justice to that plane. It came from behind us sitting in the stands, flew low over-head, pulled up in a climb and then stopped. It just hung there in the air, with it's nose pointing skyward, perfectly still except for it's screaming engines. Then it's nose fell forward as the plane went horizontal, and it sped off towards the horizon away from us like something out of a cartoon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing compares to pure power and vectored thrust! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
