Our local online news posted an interesting article today. The San Angelo LIVE's publisher was a B-52 crewman and writes very good aviation stories. Here's a link to that story...

Let's chase this Air-Traffic-Count tangent for a moment. Last month an interesting video was shared about the SHUTDOWN of U.S. Airspace immediately following the events of 9/11 (2001). I'm sharing it again here to illustrate just how many aircraft are in the air simultaneously. PLEASE bear in...

Looking forward to the OCTOBER 2019 entrants signing up and posting their best. Some of the runners-up from our previous months should consider taking another run at it, too! My votin' finger is twitchin' again !

GREAT conversation here, guys! Why to I so easily get sucked into the vortex of most any aviation discussion?!?!?!? Oh, well.... Carry on!

!!! CONGRATULATIONS !!! Please feel free to SWIM a VICTORY LAP around the pond. You've certainly earned it!

With that in mind, go back and view the C-17 segment of this video..... (Time Tick: 1:16 - 1:43 of the video) Watch as the C-17's main landing gear touches down. This action closes the "WEIGHT ON WHEELS" switch(es) which in turn triggers the actuation of the Thrust Reversers (set in flight in...

FYI... There are tons of videos on YouTube showing several different Thrust Reversing Technologies. Check 'em out! One of those videos even describes what happens if the Thrust Reverser(s) is/are deployed IN FLIGHT. :shock: :doh: . . . . . :usafss:

2019-10-02 Chinook overflight @ our LZ Late Wednesday afternoon I heard the distinctive thump-thump-thumping of a Chinook about to pass over our home. I stepped out in time to catch a couple of quick pics on my phone. I'm also including zoomed screenshots of those pics. Zoomed in --->...

Ahab, That is an excellent technical question deserving of a sound explanation. While I could compose something of reasonable quality, I am both too tired and presently lack the confidence to make my answer adequate. Hence, I will do for you what I so often advise to others..... GOOGLE is our...

Donning my chaplain's persona for a moment here..... We are taught to be good stewards of everything that God has put on this earth. I believe that that extends even to the machines that man has designed and built, by the grace of God and our God-given industrious abilities. With that setting...

Anit-gravity forces.... aka: Electromagnetism ! Cantchya hear it BUZZING ?

Ok, Troops! The first clip on this video is a LOW FLYING C-17. And, as a bonus, the other clips on this video are also pretty cool! Enjoy!!!...... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5ZjiKPhSkQ

That's some serious motive power! Thanks for posting the pics.

Thanks for posting that up, RustyStud, and for the follow up conversation. I've considered many options for toting the Medium Tow Bar around with me. Yours is certainly a novel approach worthy of consideration. And thank you too, Elijah95. I like the bed-side stowage option too. It would...

Not available from Texas to support this filming.... but have a question. Are they remaking the movie THE RIGHT STUFF which was about the early rocket-plane and early space program... Through the Mercury Program??? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086197/...

Let us pray for all involved in this tragedy..... Heavenly Father, We pray those who have perished on this aircraft when it crashed, for their families and loved ones. We pray over those who are injured - Heal their injuries - both physical and psychological - and restore their bodies. We...

HAHAHA! BUT, Murphy's Law would declare: If you own a Tow Bar and aren't carrying it, YOU WILL NEED IT ! DITTO ! I think that many of us would love to see pictures (and details) of your Front Mount Tow Bar Stowage. For that matter, I'd love to see ANY options that folks have designed and...

As the OP of the Texas FMV LAWS Thread (see ink in signature block below) I must insert this caveat: The Thread is all about the MV's titled, registered, owned, operated, etc. as FORMER MILITARY VEHICLE - A SPECIFIC CLASS of "Antiques" in the TxDMV Registration System! In Texas, former...

Have you not heard of the Leaner-Meaner Version of the HMMWV???? . It's a 3x3 ! ! !
