Kimera Industries Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) Floor 4419: Nobody notices the newfound Kopper Squadron leave the arena as the dogfight continues. Less than 15 minutes later, the sound of remarkably quiet jet engines is barely heard through the sounds of the fight. As it becomes clear that the Hornet has gained the upper hand, three small shapes zip off into the distance. Edited January 2 by Kimera Industries New page 4 a new year!

TwoCalories Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) Floor 4420: The Ocelot does a dive downward to try and evade the Super Hornet. The Hornet follows. The crowds watch as the two planes break the hard deck and maneuver low above the river, their turbojets kicking up water. The Ocelot's pilot slams the stick back and sends the Ocelot shooting up. Water is blasted everywhere by the force of the Ocelot's jet engines, temporarily disorienting the Hornet's pilot before he can regain visuals and pursue the Ocelot. He then realizes that the Ocelot is nowhere in sight and must be behind him. Edited January 2 by TwoCalories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears someone was calculating deltav and orbital mechanics for KSP. You look around and see a very stressed person sitting at a computer, muttering about fuel transfer for his Jool 5.

Kimera Industries Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Floor 4428: Markers with no dry-erase board. You also float in a black void. Looking down, you can't even see yourself. Quite frankly, there is nothing for the markers to draw on. Feeling mischievous, you pick one up with your ghostly, invisible body and write on one of the other markers. The floor's space-time collapses and you are moved to the next floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoCalories Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Floor 4435: @TwoCalories writing an entire essay about his favorite plane, the F/A-18E Super Hornet. Spoiler The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, manufactured by The Boeing Company, is an upgraded of the F/A-18A-D Legacy Hornet (manufactured by McDonnell Douglas). Built to serve as the USN's first true multirole fighter, the Legacy Hornet was designed to shoot off US aircraft carriers and provide air superiority, as well as striking targets on the ground. The Super Hornet further modified the Hornet by increasing its weapon load, giving it new radar, modified displays, and a better airframe. One of the easiest changes to spot between the Legacy and Super Hornets are the oval intakes (Legacy) being changed to rectangular intakes (Super). The recent Block III Super Hornet brings even more changes, with a better engine, new stealthy weapons pods, better radar and antennas, new advanced cockpit screens, and conformal fuel tanks (unfortunately currently shelved until further notice). The Legacy Hornet entered service in 1985, with its first large-scale deployment being in Operation Desert Storm in 1991. During the invasion, Marine F/A-18Cs shot down two MiG-21s, scoring their first air to air kills. Throughout the conflict, Hornets continued to be deployed, mainly to SEAD missions. Legacy Hornets and Super Hornets have continued to be deployed to Iraq since in the ongoing Operation Inherent Resolve. An F/A-18E managed to score the first air to air kill in almost two decades when the pilot shot down a Syrian Su-22. Only a couple months ago, two Super Hornets scored another undisclosed number of air-to-air kills in the form of enemy attack drones and cruise missiles. This makes it two Super Hornet air to air kills in a row, excluding the F-22's ballon popping mission in '23. The Super Hornet has served the Navy for almost 30 years now, and while its production is set to end in 2025, the Super Hornet's service has no end in sight. It will serve to be the workhorse of the USN until F-35 program can take flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimera Industries Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Floor 4436: @TwoCalories reading his essay to a group of plane lovers. It's well received, except for one weird guy in the corner who would enjoy the speech but is too busy studying seaplanes. He keeps muttering about the Sea Dart.
