kerbiloid Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Got it. It was the same one plane. The pilot heard from the control tower: "Follow the Nor(th) way". But as the towerman was speaking in the amusing "twenty → twony" accent, swallowing the sounds, the pilot heard "Follow Norway". And followed. Obviously, he was out of gas on arrival. *** Alternative version. Arizona and Norway are the same. They coexist on two astral planes separated by Atlantic ocean. (Probably, it's possible to find the center/line of symmetry). The pilot suddenly jumped betwee planes by plane. *** Hybrid version. The plane got able to jump to Norway exactly because the pilot's will had opened the transatlantic portal in desperate attempt to fly from Arizona to Norway on F-35. Is the pilot a sorcerer? A warlock? A shaman? We don't know exactly, but they should better check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More so in an world there first stage reuse start to become an very obvious requirement if you want to game for commercial launches down the line and you would start thinking about second stage reuse. And yes its some thinking about scaling down SpaceX starship to an fully reusable medium stat launcher. Why update! I enjoyed playing this version!!

Now its possible that the air force is cheating with the transponder codes to mask the location of planes and pilots? They can turn the transponder off after all. For the air traffic controllers it should not matter as long as same code is not used by two planes at once. Now for air traffic control its important to know its an fighter jet as they do stuff other planes do but who F-35 is irrelevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeSchmuckatelli Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I always fly over warzones on the way to Taiwan from LA...

kerbiloid Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 A compact garage "Rakushka" / "Small Seashell", an iconic thing of post-Soviet 1990s, scourge of urban landscape in that time. Spoiler Was very popular due to low price and the leak in laws which defined it not as a garage (i.e. a building), but as a metallic tent (i.e. portable equipment). Was put willfully at any empty place of the yard, permanently occupying a whole parking place (even when the car was not there).

Cheap (several tens times cheaper than a stationary one) and easy to mount/unmount. Protects from rain/snow and casual hooligans/thiefs (why bother with, when there are uncovered cars around.)

kerbiloid Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Argo, an unfinished amateur-made rover for hunting. Made by Maxim Melnichenko from Chelyabinsk (USSR) in late 1960s. Articulated aluminium hull, with cabin and motor halves. Hydraulic transmission (instead of mechanical one). Mass (without engine) ~ 1.5 t. Text in Russian, by the video/pictures are self-explaining.
