You'd have to figure out the fuel burn at lower altitude vs range gained, etc. I'm sure you can find a tanker patch that's done lower altitude stuff with AFSOC. Look up a radar nomograph to see what the curve of the earth does.

I'm digging the 1911 things.......so I decided to build my own. Still waiting on a couple parts to fix what I fucked up but thought I'd share. ETA: Finished, probably could have done a better job stripping my first bluing attempt off. I think that's what caused the splotches in the second picture. The rust bluing was such a pain in the ass that I'm gonna call it good enough for my first build. Time to start plotting my second, gonna be a bobtail commander I think.

The new EP pod is so close you should be tasting it

Haters gonna hate......

I see what you did there, fucker.

Spoo, how's that light working out? TRP report: 3k rounds, still only the one magazine related failure to feed. Springfield makes a good product!

wait, what? Those dirty bastards!

Reloading rile is not a path I'v gone down yet, for that exact reason. Maybe once the turret press has paid for itself, then it's Dillon progressive time......

Got a new toy, range time later tonight... ETA: The vestigial sights make accurate shooting a "challenge," but fun as hell doing my best gum-shoe impression at close range.

Ha! Dear, Doctor, same same....

^^ NICE Dr Hoppe's 9, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ignore all these years. It's just that CLP was all sexy in her does everything sort of way. It turns out she just doesn't work much, you're such a better cleaner. I mean sure you give me a headache at times, but we can work through that, please take me back. busdriver

Ultrasonic cleaner review: Bought for cleaning cases to reload. It works, but it's even better for cleaning dies, bolt carriers, etc.

T-minus, until some politician with an axe to grind says something dumb about not allowing a $5k, 20lb, semi-automatic rifle be legal....... Yes, I made up the cost.

Looked it up on the google machine. Didn't realize how big it is...

Your dislexia is mixing aircraft on you.

Not a fan of the xbox controller? I would have thought it'd be super intuitive.

1000rnd TRP report: One failure to feed (new magazine not fully seated) shoots about 2" at 25 yards (at least the best I could do) one ragged hole at 7 and 15. The serrations now feel great, I actually ordered a set of more aggressive grips. Haven't shot a Glock in two weeks. Oh yeah, shooting shit is fun.

Pretty sure 60_Driver had experience with those (or something similar) in another life when he was flying OV-10s.

I think composite fear is over stated by many, it's not as tolerate of dirty repair conditions but it's not impossible. That said, I don't think the concept of a smaller, updated version of the A-10 requires composites nor a single engine. Oh well, I'll certainly never be involved in building an A-10 replacement so it's all mental masturbation anyways.

Even Boyd went beyond basic EM theory

Care to expound on the nope, nope, nope?

Let us know how it goes.

Good Shit CH, thanks.

pbar, I was thinking along those lines. Something still capable of stable slow speed flight and long endurace, but better high speed cruise. I'll admit wasn't thinking about a tank killer, more an unimproved strip fighter that can rapidly deploy. Call it the CAS version of Rapid Raptor. ETA: Come on Lawman, it's a concept not a production aircraft.

Side fire has vastly more complicated exterior ballistics; but velocity drop off due to slant range doesn't really change. The wikipedia article is actually pretty damn good.
