This is from 1990, Emerson Fittipaldi - it's by far the best racing billboard 1990 thru 1999. This was across 16th Street from the IMS Golf Course & the Mouse House for the entire Month of May and had 24 hour security so no one would climb up! Truly a work of art! #Indy500

The F-35 was supposed to be unkillable. That was the whole point. Lockheed Martin spent thirty years and four hundred billion dollars, the most expensive weapons programme in human history, building an aircraft that the enemy simply could not see. Not on radar. Not on infrared. Not on anything. The F-35 was not just a fighter jet. It was a theological statement. America’s way of saying: we have moved beyond the reach of your missiles, your sensors, and your prayers. Iran apparently didn’t get the memo. Somewhere over Iranian airspace on March 19, 2026, an IRST system, infrared search and track, the kind of sensor your grandmother could probably explain, looked up, found the F-35, and locked on. Not because Iranian engineers are geniuses. Because the F-35, it turns out, is extremely hot. All that engine. All that thrust. All that carefully sculpted stealth geometry, and the bloody thing glows like a kettle. The heat signature data Iran now holds is not just embarrassing. It is a gift that keeps giving. To Moscow. To Beijing. To every procurement ministry on the planet that has been quietly wondering whether to spend the money on systems designed to kill this aircraft. The answer, as of this week, is yes. And here is the bit that should really worry the Pentagon. You can patch software. You can redesign coatings. You cannot reprogramme a pilot’s brain. Every F-35 driver who takes off from here on knows, actually knows, that someone down there might be able to see them. That changes everything about how they fly. Caution replaces aggression. Hesitation replaces instinct. Four hundred billion dollars. And in the end, it was done in by a heat sensor. Tremendous. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

#tbt - Thunderous pre race applause #Indy500 When I think of the crowd truly going wild & cheering & clapping during pre race, 2 people standout. 1. 1980 Jim Craig 2. 1991 General Norman Schwarzkoph Who do do remember? Did Chuck Yeager ever ride in a pace car or just drive?

Lots of people believe the Apollo Lunar Module was a tiny flimsy little thing, this image really shows how big it actually is... Nasa

Best part about watching pre-IRL Indy 500s is seeing those Menards. Absolute monsters
