Back in the day of U-2s with film, it had a counter-balance film spool opposite the real one.
As each frame was taken, the dummy reel click off in the opposite direction to maintain balance.
“The 44 magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, can shoot through schools, and knock Daffy Duck’s bill clean around his head.”
ROFL!
Gee I wonder what this does
I see the MSM ignorance of military matters is cruising right along.
“Belgian Air Force stealth planes”
Well since they are burning up on the ground, and not seen in the air, that is kind of stealthy.
Yes and it was loaded with “highly explosive kerosene” as well. Great reporting, Mr Bean.
And now 2/3 of the belgian air force is out of commission.
“Keystone Mechanics”
Ahem...about your promotion...
Little. Red. Fire. Button. Can’t. Resist. Temptation. To. Push... Oh, crap!
Statement of Charges.
By the end of this week, that maintenance crew could be the first ‘Aces’ in the Belgian Air Force-—in how many years???
Can we get them some F-16 stickers for their tool box?
“I would so like to read an article about firearms written by this author.
It would be LOL.”.
Well you should have watched SeeBS this morning. They did a story about the battle of Chosin in 1950. One of the men they were interviewing had a gun rack behind him to one side. Every time they showed this man, the guns were blurred. Just by the barrel ends I could identify all.
Top to bottom:
Thomson sub machine gun
M1 Garand
BAR Browning Automatic Rifle
Now why would they blur the photo of service rifles on a spot about a Korean War battle?
They don’t want people to see evil guns.
Achmed the Mechanic sincerely apologizes for the “accident”.
I bet that was a rough birth.
Yeah that’s true, possibility that it was wheeled in at the last minute for a minor repair. Even if that’s the case the RBF flags would still be in place. And I could have sworn that it’s impossible to fire the cannon if the landing gear is down and locked.
LOL!.
I was doing a survey at a base near Baltimore that the National Guard trained on the A-10 out of. I was on an unused taxi-way.
After the morning pair of A-10’s went out a guy came over and told me to stay off the taxi-way in the morning. “See that big target over there at the end of the taxi-way? That’s where they calibrate their sights before they head out. Just in case anything happens - you wouldn’t want to be out there.”
Hmm - just now as I’m typing it - I wonder if that was there way of making sure I would stay out of their way - maybe I wasn’t giving them a clear view of the target?
Could be. Near where I live here in southern NJ the Air National Guard has a training range. A few years ago two F-16s were returning to base when some how or another one the two pilots let loose a burst and a couple of rounds went through the roof of a local middle school. By the grace of God it was summer time and school was out and the rounds were practice rounds, not live. How or why he did it was never determined. It was put down as a ‘’malfunction’’. Still it had folks shook up.
