I'm sure most of you will get a kick out of this: http://www.doyletics.com/tidbits/militaryadvice.pdf My favorite is "Coffee tastes better if the latrines are dug downstream from an encampment."

The early A's did not have slats. They were added starting with block A-5. The E-models had slats unless they were later converted to 6-3 wings (so I stand corrected on that one), The F-86Fs started with slats, then went to the 6-3 wing, and then were later modified with slats yet again (post-war F-40s). The F-86E started with the J-47-GE-13, and ended their run with the J-47-GE-27 (planned for E-10s and up). To further confuse the matter, the first 93 F-86Fs were re-designated F-86E-15s due to production shortages of the GE-27. So there were F-86E-10s running around with GE-27s, while the first batch of "Fs" left the factory with GE-13s.

Those figures you posted are also not accurate. Let's compare them to actual figures from an F-86F-1, taken in 1959 during a flight test. NOTE: this is with the J-47-GE-27, which we all agree has greater thrust:

Check the date of that chart. It pre-dates the in-service dates of slatted E-models (the Block-10s and the Block-15s).

Interesting. What does it look like when the sun is directly overhead?

Then do your homework. Because of the unique tailpipe fitted to all Sabres, the J-47-GE-13 is rated at 6,000 lbs thrust in that airframe.

Not if it's an E-15 or later, which covers most of the E-models that served during the Korean war. All of the E's that left the factory with leading edge slats were at least block-15s.

It depends on the block number. F-86E-15's used the J47-GE-13 & GE-17B mills, while earlier E-variants and most A-models (A-5s) used the J47-GE-7. To further confuse the issue, many E-models were field-modded with GE-25s , and eventually, most later models Es were eventually retrofitted with the full "F" package, 6-3 wings, J47-GE-27s, and all.

Wow, that's eerie watching that sequence, and hearing nothing but the wheels against the deck. I wonder if the shuttle's brought to a stop by reversing polarity at the end of the cat-stroke, or if they're still using a water-brake?

Roadkill TV sets the bar:

Touche!

Don't forget the MiG-21 pits by Paladrian.

Here's something that you should all find useful. It works on Windows 7, and Possibly Windows 8/8.1 as well. Create a new folder anywhere on your Windows 7 desktop. Once you do, open it up just to prove to yourselves that its empty. Now, back out of it, and then rename the folder Utilities, Tools, Godmode (etc.), whatever your heart desires. But....you must add a period (dot) after the name, and attach the following string (brackets and all), directly after the name: {ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} If, for example, you choose to name it "Tools", the folder name should appear like so: Tools.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} Once you've renamed the folder, open it up....and prepare to be amazed. I trust that you will find what's now contained within that folder to be quite convenient on a day-to-day basis

Bear problem-solver:

True, but their bacteria can beat up our bacteria, and take its lunch money.

Because they can be easily defeated by mice armed with nothing more than mirrors.

And, we have countermeasures for both of those. They make good boots.... and Cereal bowls

Well, I did map it to one of the hat-switches on my HOTAS, simulating a pair of keyboard buttons, but basically, it's pretty much the same procedure.

My new (to me) daily beater, a 2011 Ford Mustang, 3.7 liter V6, with 305 HP (or 227.4 KW, for you metric folks).

Now that is a pity. I would have canceled any and all engagements to have heard him play

This montage of action images contains some memorable shots. Especially the one where they captured a 16" round leaving the muzzle of one of the USS Wisconsin's guns: see them all here: http://imgur.com/a/LAdE3?

Which method are you referring to? Associating a keyboard button for pitch, and then scripting it so it maintains a set elevator deflection? That only worked until one pulled (or pushed) on the stick, then it reverted to the default neutral setting. And, BTW, it works in SF2, as I still use it.

Damn. I remember when he collaborated with Bono and U2 for one track (which was released as a single) on U2's "Rattle and Hum" album, back in 1988. RIP BB.
