Yeah, but the way things are going soon it will be cheaper to buy a B-52 to live in than a house.
Imagine the amazing globe trotting townhouse you could build inside of a B-52!
Should ever become rich, like fuck you money rich, I’m buying a PBY Catalina and turning it into an RV of sorts - not an original idea. There was a company out of Australia that was modernizing them. Not as roomy as a big bomber, but has a ruggedness and the go anywhere capabilites unique to flying boats. And I fucking love the look of the wings over the fuselage.
Yeah but you need 18000 feet of bullshit to land it, I wait patiently for my Sikorsky winnebago kit to come in the mail
The Marine Corps and Navy have already retired their H-53Ds and the big Es are on their way out. A lot more shoulder room in one of those compared to the H-34s.
Unfortunately, contrary to popular belief, military helicopters don’t actually run on kerosene or avgas
They run on snow-shovels of cash flung into the intakes as fast as you can manage
Now thats-ah spicy meatball!
But I still want a B-52 for christmas
We have The B-52s at home.
Rock lobster.
B-52 at home
“This lobster sure is tough…”
Last Christmas by Bham!
Verse:
Last Christmas, I bought you a plane,
A B-52, thought it’d keep you entertained.
But it turns out, it’s not just for fun,
A hundred-year commitment weighs a ton.
Chorus:
Last Christmas, I gave you my plane,
But the very next day, you gave it away.
This year, to save me some stress,
I’m buying you socks and a matching vest.
There needs to be some lines about bombs
Does this plane mostly consist of wheels? Those tires are very huge.
That’s mostly the angle. The wheels on a B-52 are big, but you can still look over them (very accurate “I stood next to one once” description). I’d say no taller than 1.5m?
Quick, ask on the War Thunder forum for some spec sheets!
I wonder if there will still be DC-3s flying commercially by that time? I imagine the Basler turboprop conversions will be.
AN-2 will still be viable in 1000 years
And pretty much everything Dehaviland has ever made.
Piper Cubs will probably outlive us all, too.
