An opinion from the Atlantic is a lot like gas station sushi and a wise person would not trust it.

The Israelis have now gone too far. Attacking the island nation of Lilliput, the Lilliputians will now have to respond in kind. They might be small, but they are fierce! Apparently, tiny people with tiny radars can overcome stealth technology. I bet the engineers at Lockheed Martin didn't see that coming.

It's been a few years but I recall hearing reports of the Israeli AF doing large strike package exercises in the Med. They would have strikers, escort, jammers, and tankers flying west a long way then turn around and fly home. If you measured the distance, flipped it on a map going east, you end up in Iran. Things that make you go, hhmmmm.

On another site I frequent, they did the flap vs gear retraction in the 787-9 sim at max weight and the jet flew fine IF you followed the HUD flight path cues.
-
RAT extends on the fuselage bottom right side just about even to slightly aft of the right wing trailing edge. I don't see it but it ain't that big. Flight aware data's shows they got to 400-ish feet AGL. Normal flap for takeoff is 5 degrees so leading edge slats and a little trailing edge flaps, 15 flaps on shorter runways. Flap retraction instead of gear?
-
Looks like it settles into the ground with the gear still down.

Apparently, the city, country, and state authorizes are unable to control the situation and need help.

Reminds me of laws or signs stating "Gun Free Zone.". Yeah, right. I'm sure some criminal type bent on criminal activity came across one of those signs and turned around because the sign said no guns. If someone is going to do something war or terrorist like with a drone, they don't care about your laws, signs, etc.

I'm not thrilled with the idea of using the military to get this under control but the city, county, and state leadership are unable or unwilling to use law enforcement to prevent destruction of property and attacks on Federal personnel executing their lawful duties. Democrats have pandered to these people for so long, they think free speech is throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails. FAFO.

We know those directly in politics will lie to win and not bat an eye. However, the alleged non-political media has done substantial damage to their reputation and are seeking to massage the narrative claiming "we didn't know Joe was a marginally mobile vegetable" despite having defended his senility for the last 4 years. We shall see how that argument works out.

"Naked gunner hugs????". Not sure if that deserves a "WTF is wrong with you people" or a Seinfeld "Not that there is anything wrong with that." The only naked Hawg driver I recall was one of the guys on an Atlantic crossing going to the tanker boom stripped down to shock the chick boomer who was not impressed and unphased by stunt.

Here's what we do:. We set up prisons with safe areas on each corner of the UTTR or Nellis ranges and wall the entire range in. Get old military vehicles, clunkers, whatever and we handcuff these twisted humans into a vehicle with the assignment of driving to the opposite safe area during the day/night. If the dirtbag makes it, he lives to drive another day. If not, well, think of the great training provided to his/her former fellow warriors.

My theory is nationalized health care systems could not afford or would not pay what U.S. health care insurers would pay so pharma would price gouge in the U.S. because they could. How the drug pricing settles out with leveling the playing field will be interesting.

If your neighbor had a pack of vicious dogs that attacked and butchered your child, would you be satisfied that killing a couple of the dogs would prevent your other children from being attacked from the remaining pack of dogs or would want to completely eliminate the threat?

Reminds me of the "walk off" in Zoolander.

Those things are becoming as disposable as the F-16! What is the water equivalent of a Lawn Dart?

Here's a story relayed to me:. Iranians were sent to the US for pilot training and wore red helmets for identification purposes. One day, a couple instructors grab a couple red helmets and saddle up in a T-38. They launch and return to the T-38 pattern using an Iranian-ish accent. On the first touch and go, the IP in the front seat ducks down so the RSU sees an Iranian student solo in the back seat. The RSU freaks out and queries the "solo" who responds " I will fix.". On the next pass, the IP in the back seat ducks down so the red helmet is now in the front seat. Not sure that practical joke would be appreciated today. BTW, this was at Columbus pre-Ayatollah.

Dodged a couple massive bullets regarding those two.

I've had some non-direct routing through there due to military exercises so that might be a possibility.

And now, the rest of the story. The deported father from Maryland was convicted of being a MS-13 gang member in 2019. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2025/04/02/the-fine-print-on-deportations-matters-n2654819

If you attended UPT at Columbus AFB, you drove down Simlar Blvd. named after the same MGen George Simlar in the article. He had a history of doing an aileron roll when departing one command for his next command. Well, he was leaving Randolph in a T-38 and buffooned his aileron roll killing himself and his aide. For a gross display of poor airmanship, you too can get a street named after you... But only if you are a general.

"Escape from Camp 14" was written by a guy that escape from a NK work camp as an older teenager. His escape occurred in the 2000s, IIRC. Yeonmi Park also escaped from NK and her book is also remarkable describing the absolutely hideous conditions in a very backward country. Both of them describe the shock going from poverty and starvation to South Korea, and later the U.S., with food, electricity, and freedom. The money required to make that happen for 24-ish million people would have a lot of zeros on the end of the total.

A lack of OSHA style safety regulations?
