@MCCCANM Top 3 for me.. 1. B-24 2. B-47 3. B-36

The B-36 “Peacemaker” (sometimes called “Aluminum Overcast”) was an intermediate step in the transition to jet bombers. At the end of each wing is a pod with two jet engines, giving it a total of 10 engines. “Six turning & four burning” as they used to say. The jets were only used for takeoff & quick sprints in cruise; in cruise this could increase maximum speed from 230 MPH to about 400. Most of the time the jets were turned off; they had inlet covers that would close to make them aerodynamic. Interesting ideas for the B-36 included a tread system for the landing gear, kind of like tanks. A nuclear powered version was envisioned, but testing only got so far as running a reactor onboard before the idea was scrapped. The B-36 was slow, but had enormous range for the time. It could remain aloft for 40 hours…impressive for a plane that can’t be air-refueled but probably painful for the crew of 13. Its’ maximum altitude of 43,000’ helped protect it from early jet fighters, but that advantage was quickly lost as jets got better. It’s said that when it flew over your house, the whole house shook, an effect portrayed in the film “Strategic Air Command”, in which Jimmy Stewart plays a bomber pilot (as he was in real life, even during his Hollywood heydays, serving in the Air Force Reserve). Happens to be my son’s favorite aircraft, and I have to say he has good taste!

@STvSW @mykael_yuddy Nah, best burn them and throw every flat earther in an insane asylum

@mykael_yuddy I want to subtly bend every Flat Earth book, just to troll them.

You and the author of that book obviously don't know how an attitude indicator works. 1) An attitude indicator does not look outside at the horizon at all. It doesn’t "detect" a flat surface. It uses a gyroscope (or modern solid-state sensors) to maintain a stable reference in space. The display then shows the aircraft’s pitch and roll relative to that internal reference, not relative to a visible or geometric horizon. 2) Gyroscopes work the same on a sphere or a flat plane. The principle behind the instrument is Conservation of Angular Momentum: a spinning rotor resists changes to its orientation. This property works in aircraft and in satellites on a spherical Earth. There is nothing about a gyroscope that requires a flat surface. 3) The "horizon" on the display is symbolic. The line is just a reference line drawn on the instrument to help pilots interpret pitch and roll. It's not a real horizon measurement. Even in complete darkness or clouds (no visible horizon), the instrument still works because it is internal. 4) Modern aircraft use inertial reference systems and AHRS (Attitude and Heading Reference Systems), which continuously compute orientation in 3D space using sensors and math. These systems are used in aviation, missiles, and spacecraft - none of which assume a flat Earth. 5) If it required a flat Earth, long-distance navigation would fail. Commercial flights routinely travel thousands of kilometers following curved paths over a spherical Earth. Their instruments - including the attitude indicator - work consistently across these distances.

@Yorki10VT Stay strong Yorki, you got this

Adding 2 extra shifts to my work schedule this week: 🤑🤑🤑 Adding 2 extra shifts to my work schedule this week: 😔😖😪

@WisKy64VT Big tall Battlecat, picking up a small Fleet Carrier..

ITS TRANS DAY OF VISIBILITY PERCEIVE ME

@JoShowAdell My potentially dumbass.. WIN, LOSE OR TIE!! HALOS TILL I DIE!!

Who’s riding with the Angels no matter what this season Win or Lose? I wanna know who truly bleeds Halo Red

@phillipthetwo Controversial opinion.. Leather doesn't work for me in a post apocalypse world. Its hard to work with and repair.

Welcome to the apocalypse, Mr. Squidward. I hope you like leather.

@InCaseArt Love the Elsa and Anna ones

More old fanarts!

@LauraLoomer You're a grown woman crying because an AMERICAN citizen was celebrating the distinct culture of his home island.. this would be the equivalent of a British Person screaming about the Royal Family being in the London Olympics opening ceremony.. Shut your mouth you racist cunt

Illegal aliens and Latin hookers twerking at the SuperBowl. Not a single white person or English translation at the Super Bowl. This isn’t White enough for me. Cant even watch a Super Bowl anymore because immigrants have literally ruined everything.

@JessNoFace The SeaChickens are putting belt to ass on the Pats

DRAKE MAYE WITH THE GAME ON THE LINE

@jakepaul You live on Puerto Rico you idiot, A UNITED STATES TERRITORY! Fucking hell you are stupid.

Purposefully turning off the halftime show Let’s rally together and show big corporations they can’t just do whatever they want without consequences (which equals viewership for them) You are their benefit. Realize you have power. Turn off this halftime. A fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America. I cannot support that.

@JessNoFace Personally, I dont trust Mexican food north of LA unless the place is full of other Mexican Americans. The trick is to follow the locals

the quality of mexican food declines the further you get from the border. you are wrong.

@ChargersMemes Barqs is my go to at restaurants, A&W is best from a Fountain(if available) but Mug.. Mug has never let me down when I get the craving

Barqs is best to drink A&W is best for floats Mug is kinda just there. The dog pretty chill tho

@SoCalweathernet That one had lateral movement on it..

Earthquakes/aftershocks continue around Indio/Palm Springs, 4.2 just woke me up! #Earthquake #Indio #PalmSprings

@sanandreafault Can you not!?!

@elonmusk Or here's an idea you obnoxious piece of shit, PEOPLE NO LONGER CARE ABOUT WHAT OTHERS THINK OF THEM! Like Roddenberry wanted!!

Turns out they banned Ozempic and LASIK in the future lol

@DrotalkSD Every fucking year we make it to the playoffs man.. we're always "One piece away, one more piece and we'll win." Guess where we're gonna be next year, out of the playoffs cause that one piece turned out to be a dud or had a season ending injury in wk2, and we got worse..

Feels like its over. Feel terrible for the defense...This sucks.

@ChargersMemes Nah bro.. we're done. Roman is just gonna shove his head up his ass and keep doing the same shit

2TDs Get it together you have the firepower Greg Roman just needs to a fucking moron for 9 minutes and 45 seconds.

Am I EVER going to experience a championship with ANY OF MY FUCKING TEAMS!?!

@Tha_Frederation Bruh our offense stinks tonight

I’m pretty sure there’s a multiverse where I’m not a chargers fan and he’s the happiest fucking person on the planet

@MCCCANM 737s are the Toyota Hillux of the Commercial Aviation world. Reliable and can do just about everything it needs to do

It’s cool, but I squeeze myself into a 737 – banging switches w/ my head – to carry the airline. Minimum turn time & rest periods. You know what? I like being the underclass. I like the redeyes & I like scoffing at the widebody guys. I’m a proud, filthy, 737 Guppy scumbag.
