  1. I haven't seen the video, but it just sounds funnier with the broom instead of the gun, anyway. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  2. That clip didn't make it come out right. The best part of the whole thing was Les doing his Hindenburg commentary, "Oh, the HUMANITY!" It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.

  5. Wait a second! You started a thread that asks a question, and you didn't do a poll? It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.

  9. Here's the actual interview. Man, he sounds like a nut! Who's the third stooge? It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  10. When is this stupidity going to stop? Didn't we learn anything with the Dixie Chicks? Oh, no! A conservative from Tennessee thinks that Obama and Biden are the enemy? Noooooooooo! Who'da thunk it? I like the part about ESPN trying to quell any controversy by acting swiftly, good job making a mountain out of a mole hill ESPN!

  11. Are you kidding? I'd room with that! It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  12. I'm guessing you meant "Miramar" air show. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.

  14. So, how do you get a restraining order against an uninvited intruder if you don't know he's coming? An uninvited intruder is not "just anyone." If the father of your children should come to your home, I'm pretty sure that shooting and killing him without good cause is against the law. A restraining order makes it clear that he's an "uninvited intruder." So, are you suggesting that we'd be better off abolishing restraining orders, altogether? The vast majority of restraining orders do what they're supposed to do - get the person to stay away. Out of all of the restraining orders issued, very few of them actually escalate to violence. A restraining order also compels the person to surrender their firearms, and it provides law enforcement with a mechanism to make an arrest. And there's a lot of people sitting in prison who have been judged by twelve and are going to stay there until they're carried by six. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  15. If you're at home, it wouldn't matter if that corpse was a stranger or an ex. Still in a place that he doesn't belong. Well, I'm glad that is so black and white for you - now prove it in court! You can't shoot just anyone in your home. A restraining order will go a long way in showing that the corpse on the floor shouldn't have been caught dead there!

  16. Of course, having already obtained a restraining order against someone you just killed would be quite helpful when you're standing over a dead body with a gun in your hand and trying to explain why you shouldn't be taken away to jail. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  17. You're watching an NFL game? That puts you one up on Joe Buck and Troy Aikman. Where's the Drama? It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.

  19. You could always change the P into a C (for Canopy) and put it up first: "CBASE" then it sounds either like a new programming language or the sound you make when you hit the ground trying the tow launching ... Well in that case, you could call it BASEC but it would still sound like a programming language. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  20. So, how does "P" get added to BASE for a BASE jump from a parachute? BAPSE? A parasail or a paraglider could be used effectively as the towed ascent wing giving a BASE jumper a new dimension to the sport. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  21. That's not discipline, it's a Code Red! That's the truth, but YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH! It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  22. Another Article Don't show this to Homeland Security or else they'll be installing ferris wheels around the White House, Pentagon, and Capital Building to catch terrorist airplanes! It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.

    Reno Air Races

    Nope, but they do have short airshow performances between heats It must be a matter of semantics. If they have aerobatic flying demonstrations for an open air assembly of spectators requiring a waiver from FAR 91.303, etc. then it's an airshow. My point was that there's no distinction between the Reno Air Races and an "airshow." Even the Patriot jet aerobatic team was there. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.

    Reno Air Races

    I'm no race pilot, but I would guess the first instinct of a pilot with an airframe issue in that race would roll level then gain as much altitude as possible. In airplanes, unlike car racing, you would want a lot of power in to get as high as possible to work out whatever is wrong. Thus, with the trim tab gone, he had different or no elevator feedback and at that speed could have easily over-pulled and blacked out. At this point, he was full power or at least high power until the end. You can see the pitch of the blades immediately before impact are VERY high AOA (high power setting) Once the trim tab fails, the stick would immediately be forced backwards towards the pilot. It's unlikely that any pilot could've put enough forward pressure on the stick to hold the nose down. For a conscious pilot, the priority would be to slow the airplane down by throttling back and doing a steep climbing turn to reduce the nose up force on the stick. The fact that the power wasn't reduced is just another indication that Leeward was unconscious. I wonder how functional the other trim tab was. A pilot would immediately try putting in more nose down trim but the system may have been damaged when the other trim tab broke away. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
