The trajectory of close air support in Southeast Asia demanded a specialized aircraft capable of loitering over dense jungle terrain at low speeds. High-altitude supersonic jet fighters proved unsuited for spotting camouflaged hostile forces concealed beneath heavy foliage. In response to this tactical dilemma, former Marine Corps aviators Bill Beckett and KP Rice conceived a lightweight, highly maneuverable counter-insurgency platform. The vintage archival footage featured in this comprehensive documentary has been upscaled and restored, appearing in colorized versions to convey the raw reality of mid-century aerial combat. Initial engineering began in a private garage, aiming for a simple 6,000-pound aircraft capable of operating from dirt roads, clearings, and forward bases. Despite severe administrative resistance from Naval Air Systems Command, interest from the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, and Air Force eventually propelled the design into military production with Rockwell International’s Columbus Aircraft division.

First of all: data centers. I’ve already registered my complaints against them, not theoretical, political complaints, but issues that directly affect myself and my property. I question the need for the vast amount of the data centers being built and the incredible amount of debt being racked up to get them into place before the public has a say in their construction. As a capitalist, it’s hard to deny that corporations that buy land have a right to build on that land whatever they want. However, a corporation should not be able to buy a parcel of land straddling a river and block the river with a damn to generate electricity, if it floods land they don’t own.
