From January 1986 to August 1988 I was in VT-86 at NAS Pensacola, FL. The Blue Angels were in the next hangar down from us. I was there when they transitioned from F-4s to F/A-18s. Every Wednesday morning we had to come in early to launch our planes because the air field was closed 0800-0900 so they could practice. Saw them a bunch of times and you are right, it never gets old. Their support personnel were another thing altogether though, always walking around with a superior air about them. We called them "The Robots".
#8 kinda reminds me of the beginning of my oilfield work. Bundling drill pipe or casing to get ready for the next phase of the drilling process. Hot, hard dirty work but it paid well and after a week of busting ass you had a week off with a pocket full of cash. Those were the days. JD
#1 - I hate rats. Absolutely hate 'em. I've heard stories about finding rats in the toilet, which I doubted, but after seeing this I don't know what to think. Is this real or photoshopped?
Most people don't realize the only thing stopping the shit in the big pipe under the street is the little bend right under the toilet. That shit, to include the smell, is held back by about 2 quarts or so of water. A rat will swim right through that if it sees light at the end, or is just too lazy to turn around.
#3 - how does it feel to get your ass beat by a girl? 'Course if that's in any large city in the USA he'll be out of jail on his own recognizance by dinner time.
It's the Russians showing off their thrust vectoring abilities. It looks cool, but they they'll still get their asses kicked by any 4th or 5th gen US fighter.
Looks like a “lumpshava” or outside snap roll..... You’re tumbling thru the air pushing a lot of negative g’s...... Your plane has to be stress built to handle a lot of negative g’s..... Not many are. Ed357
Lomcovak, pronounced “Lomshevok”, which does not actually mean “headache” although that’s the common explanation. Popular among very adventurous pilots of very strong aircraft.
#3 - You go girl. Great takedown and control of the perp.
ReplyDelete#5 - Receiver catches the ball, tackled by the defender, ball is fumbled, defender recovers the fumble. The NFL in a nutshell.
5 - Yea man.
ReplyDeleteI saw The Blue Angels this past week 3 times.... It never gets old....

DeleteCorrection - in my above post I stated that the Blue Angels transitioned from F-4s to F/A-18s. It was A-4s, not F-4s.
Delete#4: Making Juneteenth celebration bracelets.
ReplyDelete#10, wimnez
ReplyDelete#3, and thus a new UFC female fighter was discovered.
ReplyDelete#6 A little pilot humor.
ReplyDeleteMore likely some flunky air show 'official' pissed off the pilot.
DeleteF*ck it, he's never coming back to their airpatch. This is for your flunky.
#1 Rat Bastard
ReplyDeleteImmediately pour down a gallon of muriatic acid. If it lives, it will remember to never return.
Delete#3 was the second woman actually running into this situation backwards? And what was she doing, trying to stop the guy with a tv remote?
ReplyDeleteI think she was in a panic trying to call up that nine hundred and eleven

Ah, the end of a cattle drive twice a month. Can't beat that!
Delete#10 On the plus side, at least she can jack up the car and pull the wheel.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought. At least she's having the old college go
DeleteWhat is the deal with # 10?
ReplyDeleteFlat tire, and the hose wouldn't reach.
Delete#3 - there are some office ladies that you just DON'T want to mess with.

ReplyDelete#2 - Is that a MIG? What's the pilot up to?
Probably real. Rats can enter the sewerage pipes through the vent on the roof.

Delete#2. Russian falling leaf. thrust vectored engines allow dor extreme maneuvers outside traditional lift generating envelope

What's happening in 2?
ReplyDeleteJust a demonstration, I believe.

He passed punch out time. Except he's Russian and doesn't know better.
