Ama Amazing! I'd never heard of that ejection before. Amazing he survived. The ejection talked about in circles today is a pilot flying the F15 and had instrument problem. The instruments was telling him he was flying straight and level but the airplane was actually in a decent. What stsrted...

I looked it up just now on the USGS website. In 24 hrs period from yesterday morning until this morning there have 26 earthquakes worldwide. With 3 of them being 5.0 or higher.

That's so awesome! I sent my brother an article last week where a team had found the IJN Akagi as well. He's big into Midway I sent him this article as well

For sure. Ukraine has seemed to successfully target and eliminate high ranking USSR officers

Your very welcome

You know it's s gotta be a wicked experience. Atleast when the pilot initiates the ejection there is a fraction of second to prepare mentally for what's about to happen. But to get auto ejected the chance a neck injury is through the roof. If you ever want to read about a gnarly ejection read...

I understand the auto ejected. I've heard it designed incase the PTO shaft for lack of a better words, were to break during VTOL (Verticle Take Off and Landing) operations the aircraft wants to invert and nose in very quickly, thus this feature saves the pilot. I've also read the F35 is more...

I I could see that. Being low I figure you'd have a greater chance on landing in the crash site depending on the winds and other factors. When I was in tech school one of the first things they explained to is how violent an ejection can. The pilot takes up to 14g's on their spines, it's not...

1000 ft isn't the best altitude for ejecting, but seats today are what's called zero-zero capable. Meaning the pilot can eject on the ground and get enough altitude to get a swing to a swing and half in the parachute before landing. I picture in my mind a family out back grilling burgers and...

We were talking about that at work. The F35 has a lot of bells and whistles in it, but seems to have problems with the most basic part of it's job which is flying. Luckily it has the Martin-Baker seat in it which is a very reliable seat. We looked it up and they started manufacturing it in...

Just my two cents. I find it hard to believe it was a real world operation. I feel it's a "train how we and fight how we train operation". My thoughts on why they were flying on weekend anyways is it could've been a pilot in upgrade training and failed something during the week and was getting...

I'm right there with you. I'd prefer a burger to other beef, if I'm gonna eat a steaks it's be a good one i.e. ribeye or filet mignon. Getting it tender is where I struggle. I'm gonna start reverse searing mine on the grill from now one. Like you in where I grew up had three Whataburgers to eat...

I love burgers! My saying at home is ground beef is the best beef. I like any dish that has ground beef in it, but I love the most when it's pattied out and placed between two pieces of bread. It's just ooey gooey goodness. My favorite burger besides home made is a Whatburger and my favorite...

People wearing sunglasses indoors. I completely understand if it's a medical issue. Nick Sparono a head coach of the Dolphins got into an accident when he was younger and bright lights bothered him. But when people do it just look cool drives me up the wall. Other pet peeves, people talking on...

I loved the older Garfield books growing up, Marmaduke, Beetle Bailey, and the Far Side
