Enjoy 0:19, 0:52, 1:16, 1:35, 1:49, Ect. 2019 Atlantic City Airshow - RAF Red Arrows - YouTube I kind of understand why the USFA and USN display teams fly the aircraft that they do, its the same reason the Red Arrows fly the Hawk, Its the cheapest aircraft for their respective services to fly...

The timing belt, The one thing mechanics go out of the way to avoid changing. At least my garage is honest about not doing them and strait up refuses to do them at all. My brothers car went when its timing belt snapped a week after it was "replaced" by a garage. Suffice to say that garage is...

Well I do make scenarios for "Command Modern Air Naval Operations" so I have spent a lot of time looking up Airbases and what is where on them. :shifty: Mostly Historical ones but still.

RIP my sturdy Monitor that died last night, you lasted 12 hard years of service, now I'm off to buy a replacement before work gets too piled up. Also why are some websites a pain to use on a tablet that are fine of a phone or PC.

Just after posting in the Basement I wondered just how many watch lists that this forum/members are on? I have taken some weird routes for research for some some threads (To keep up/ general interest) that have included Nuclear physics and Explosive chemistry to name two, in the past. It would...

2019 Monaco Grand Prix: Race Highlights - YouTube

So after deciding to re watch "Henry V" and "Much Ado About Nothing" as an adult (after been forced to study them at school a long time ago) this weekend. I suddenly came to realise why I like Thor. Kenneth Branagh and Patrick Doyle... Doyles score always seems to enhance the dialog and not...

My information comes from this interview and several books on the Concorde. True he does embellish abit, but he was a Concorde pilot and would know the flight characteristics and procedures better than most. Remember that Concorde is a pure Delta and was trimmed by fuel transfer. The over...

I have recently been reading about the Concorde and the Crash. It was not a single point of failure, It was a combination of a Maintenance errors on the Concorde landing gear, over filled fuel tanks (Against the manual), The flight crew was under time pressure (did not wait to burn off taxi...

An interesting feature on Indycar vs F1 car comparison.

At this point I would not fly on any Boeing aircraft certified in the last decade at this point. As it seems that something is wrong with the way that the MAX Family was allowed to be sold with out much independent oversight concerns me.

Sent you the link.

So I went down a rabbit hole of research for a personal project. Starts with Hunting techniques used by animals, lead to "Pursuit predation" then to "Persistence hunting" to the realization of why Homo sapiens are the peak predator on the planet. We can out endure anything we want to hunt. And...

Its SOP for captains of military ships to be put under a court martial whenever their ship is lost or gets damaged. Even if no fault is found with the crew or captain it is usually a career ender, especially now that most navies have fewer ships than those able to command them. Looks like...

Anything with ships is expensive. But that is going to be a court marshal for the captain. The reason the tugs back off is that a sinking ship can suck a smaller boat down with it as is submerges and can over stress the structures of those that have significant extra bouncy to not get sucked...

Helmets are a must in my view, a back pack and gloves too. When I was at school I crashed my bike going down a hill, I was not paying attention and hit a pot hole. I went over to handle bars and slid down the road for 20-30m, when I sat up, I found I was sitting in a widening puddle, turns out...

So I did a short ride this morning to where I volunteer(6.5km cross city) did what i needed to in faster than expected (finished by 1030GMT) so I had an hour and a half spare. So went to go on a much longer route home. via the Leicester city memorial , as i passed the A&E due to me not...
