Waste of a good pilot. The Ohka Bomb or "Bacca Bomb" never hit any ship, except for one small landing craft. By the time that rocket engine technology was available, Japan had no hope of winning the war. No amount of determination or pilot discipline could overcome the overwhelming manufacturi...

I noticed you had your flaps set at "Landing Flaps". Traditional take-offs are done with no more than 10% flaps. Any more than that is too much drag and you'll stall. Also if the carrier is moving you get a few knots, and add that to any headwind and you'll find it easier to take off and land....

There isn't an aircraft in production that I'd be willing to fly against the F-22. It can do everything that an Su-37 can do, and more,...the difference is its a smaller aircraft, offers more precise control, and ultimately has the advantage of stealth. If you don't know an F-22 is near you, ho...

Look on the bright side,...it didn't explode when you buried the tail in the sand. Open the hatch,...swim away!

@HermanDGerman Herman, you realize your post translates as gibberish, right? I think I understand what you are trying to say, but then again no. Maybe your native language doesn't work well with Google translate. Have a nice day!

@assym2006 As far as "cleaning and lubing queen," I don't know if its that you aren't familiar with the AR family of weapons, or you just like the AK better, but they really don't require much in the way of cleaning and lubrication. No more than any other modern rifle. The AK series tends to re...

@no1kiyoko I know the former Chief of the Collections Division. He was in charge of the area that stores aircraft, & was immersed in the Aichi Seiran restoration. The only surviving example. He's an incredible pilot himself. He and I share a great love of flying and all aircraft. The U.S. Na...

Scary part is that The principles he's arguing for,...are word for word what the "Tea Party" is advocating. Today the Tea Party is saying that are they are being accused of Right Wing Extremists,...yet, this all came from a Democrat Congressman in 1983!! That shows you how far to the left this ...

@scottduncan44 You can buy them new. The plane in the video is likely one of the new manufactured ones coming out of Romania. They are building brand new La-7s and Yak-9s Not super expensive either for what you are getting. About $340,000 US

@bassisgood6969 "Tusken Warrior" lol That's awesome!

@DuffmanIRL I hate to say it, but you are probably right. If you know or suspect there's an IED, better to shoot it from a distance, than put a tank and crew at risk. The 3 Kgs of PETN that you spotted in the car, may just be the bait to get your attention. Its what's underneath the car, hidde...

@LouisPlume Thank you for playing into the most common stereotypes. Usually that's a good indicator of ignorance, but I don't know you well enough to say that. I would hazard a guess to say you either don't know Americans very well or you are just frustrated with your own inadequacies when you ...

@IgaNinja91 You also have to remember that the Nazi's used a lot of prisoner labor. Most of the time they just did their wok and hoped to survive, while some sabotaged whatever they were making. They'd do anything to slow down the Nazi war machine. Toward the end of the war, they were not exac...

@zloj11 The Buran flew once. Unmanned.

@Natali88333 Natali,...you know the Cold War is over right? The United States and NATO are not Russia's enemy. Tone down the rhetoric. The real enemy is greed, corruption, and lunatics like Ahmadinejad. Russians, Europeans, and Americans are not all that different. Chill out, have a drink. ...

The inside of that thing is cavernous!

That is some seriously funny stuff!

@vtwinbreed The lights would not have caused the fracture. Asian Aircraft operators tend to overload the aircraft and that often results in a take-off where they smack the tail on the runway or they come down hard on landings. They are also known for poor maintenance on their aircraft. I absol...

@player276 I can tell you are getting frustrated, so I'll leave you alone. When you grow up, maybe we can have an adult conversation. Again, check your English. Perhaps its unintentional, but either you, or the translator you are using, is making you sound like a frustrated, ignorant, 15 year ...
