      Just imagine the prototypes if it was Non-Credible Sport!

    Not really related, I saw a c-17a globemaster III today over Austin today. Was flying in from DC. Still pretty cool

      AC-130 (any variation).

      Not because of any strategic options, tech innovation, influence on the world or anything traditional… just the pure disrespect you can give anyone without basic anti air capabilities.

    Plain, simple, 4 fan trash can for me. H model with an eng and a nav, and the square blades because the new ones sound all wrong

      Oh yeah the roar of an B-H model has some gravitas to it

      That reminds me, I’ve always wondered why P3 blades had rounded tips and C-130s had square ones.

    The Super COD

    "The last landing I participated in, we touched down about 150 feet from the end, stopped in 270 feet more, and launched from that position, using what was left of the deck. We still had a couple hundred feet left when we lifted off. Admiral Brown was flabbergasted.
