It's worth noting that ballistic missile submarines were born from sheer audacity, the type of bravado usually reserved for late night ideas sketched out after a healthy amount of whiskey, then discarded in the light of day.... yet, here we are

@greg16676935420 Because it there Greg, same reason why people climb Everest or go to the bottom of the sea, It is what maintains the hope that there is something beyond the dreadful existence of this awful site.

Hi, @NASA,
Is there a protocol regarding passports when returning to earth?
Thanks so much.

@xAviation Production wasn’t really that limited, it sold more than the 707, 727, 757 and 767 and the sold for between 3 times and 5 times the price of those planes. In the 90s it was a cash cow for Boeing.
English
Crazy how one of the most iconic and instantly recognizable aircraft ever had relatively limited production...
Boeing 747 saw just 1,574 built over a 54-year run (1968–2022) — and yet it defined aviation for generations.
The 747-400 remains the most iconic variant, thanks to its classic design and perfectly balanced proportions.

@PrincepsPinat The 367-80 designation only applied to the demonstrator (prototype) aircraft. The internal designation for all C-135/KC-135 is 717.
English
Boeing 717, not MD-95
This is KC-135/C-135(Boeing 367)
KC-135 original name is Boeing 717
717 wasn't used on KC-135

@petem127 @stephenehorn Western‑backed dictatorships didn’t happen to just one nation. Many countries lived it and still pushed past it. Btw the DR isn’t some “good little country.” Little are the people who judge it without knowing its history.
English
@FCaroM @stephenehorn True the DR has been a good little country for western powers so you get all the beautiful tourist infrastructure for all the white tourists while Haiti got brutal dictatorships installed by the US gov for daring to have self determination.
English
Remember when the Haitian revolutionaries genocided the white population?
I guess the Dominicans do

@nypost I’m not sure whether that article was written by a person or by AI, but it was nor well written. It did a very poor job of explaining what happened.

Texas oil heir Charles Brooks Jr. ordered to pay historic $1.1B after brutally attacking toddler stepson, putting him in wheelchair trib.al/e9KVbMD

@Boneyardsafari The Big E also had more of a cruiser type hull, her 4 rudders and 8 reactors definitely made her a unique ship. Her true top speed still not known to the wider public.
English
Carrier comparison, USS Enterprise CV-65 above and USS Forrestal CV-59 below. The obvious change was the island structure, Big E had the island further back with two elevators in front and one behind. Forrestal had two elevators behind the island and one in front.

@UnwantedBlog Even if Douglas had delivered the B-19 on time it wouldn’t have made any difference. Boeing knew this with the B-15, thats why on the B-17 they use the power of the engines, not for size, but for speed, payload and altitude. Thats why the B-17 was so revolutionary.
English
The XB-19 was a giant of a plane, but impressively obsolete by the time it flew. Had it been put into service enemy fighters would have turned it into mincemeat as its range was relatively low when loaded with ordnance and its service ceiling a mere 23K ft.
Aviation Archive - Tim Farmer@aviationarchive
On June 27, 1941, the Douglas XB-19 took its first flight as the largest bomber in the world. This giant had a 212ft wingspan, stretched 132ft long, hit a max takeoff weight of 162,000 pounds, could haul 36,000lbs of bombs over a 5,200-mile range. One 1 built, retired in 1946.

@petem127 @stephenehorn Something the DR wasn’t involved at all, but they’ve been trying to stick us with the bill ever since. They invaded the DR, the DR has never set its foot on Haiti.
English
@stephenehorn Remember how the French forced Haiti to pay $560 million as “reparations” for lost slaves and land, crippling the Haitian economy for more than a century? & how Haiti had to take loans w French banks to pay for it, saddling Haiti with immense interest payments?
English
@clark_aviation It looks like a 1959 version of the F-16. The GD entry with its blended wings/fuselage looked much more modern. Also the placement of the landing gear would limit the amount of stores it could carry.
English
The (promising?) Boeing Model 908-909 was a contender for the USAF single engine multi-role fighter project in the 1970s. It lost out the General Dynamics 401, which later became the F-16. This mock-up doesn't look quite right, to my untrained eye, but was as far as it went!

This was the strike 3 call that clinched Team USA's win over the Dominican Republic.

@airlinerslive Yess, and alternate it with a VC10 a Comet 4 and a Viscount.

@aircrewtv The camouflage of the bottom Jaguar its doing its job pretty well.

Sent by a reader as "707 navigator". Anyone can confirm if it's the case? Reverse search didn´t yeld much results

@Boneyardsafari It looks like an FJ4B and the carrier a modernized Essex, the only Essexes that carried them were the Hancock, Bennington and Ticonderoga.

Here is a Fury being launched off an aircraft carrier, can you identify the flat top? #aircraftcarrier #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

@CapHornier_ They weren’t that small, they were around the same size as the Essexes, now the Colossus and Majestics were small
English
French aircraft carriers Foch and Clemenceau were so small compared to their US counterparts that US pilots were sometimes scared to land on them
