That would be like flying the Wright Flyer that flew at Kitty Hawk, up until a few years ago in combat? (Or at least flying the Wright airplane in WWII & Korea!)

A former neighbor of mine had photos from Vietnam War of the ground after a B-52 had carpet bombed it. It cleared out 3 football fields of EVERYTHING! The only left were the bomb craters.

There's plans to replace the 4 inboard jet engines with 2 off of a 747. Increased thrust and fuel efficiency.

Just an observation by me. Carry on.

Saw a B1 I think over RDU once coming back from a fishing trip. Buddies and I were watching it just cruising around. It then just floats around Angus Barn...points up...and goes straight up like a damned rocket. Most impressive thing I'd ever seen in person with regard to the size of the aircraft and it's abilities.

      I'm salty every time I see someones mid picks become stars while we throw first and second rounders over and over and they all stink outside of Tet (who still has a lot to prove, imo)

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      There is a contingent that is total Bryce but they weathervane with the wind. When the good Bryce wind blows about once or twice a month we hear a lot from them. But they are always pro Bryce, they just don’t pipe up too much when he sucks. I can’t speak for them, as far as what they are looking at.    In a second contingent, the collective mind is made up. He has had had basically three years worth of starts that might include a top tier outing or two, a few second tier outings, offset by about the same number of bottom tier outings which actually may have the edge there.  The rest of his stuff is third tier and that is going to be the bulk of his starts. We want to move on. And we aren’t getting off of that hill until he puts us off of it. He has not.    There is a third contingent that has no conviction and definitely weather vanes. Bryce is good. Bryce isn’t good. Depending on the latest game. They will buy into 7 on 7 success so that should tell you something.
