B52STRATO

Damned topic title... at first I was thinking it would talk about this 5th generation

So here is the secret of why it is small, round and flabby.

I well see this Tiger couple with the Jaguar. Two AIM-9, two fuels tanks... two big cats.

An interesting Australian report about different arms and munitions deployed in Ukraine. To be carefully read and with interest to those who have the time. http://armamentresearch.com/Uploads/Research%20Report%20No.%203%20-%20Raising%20Red%20Flags.pdf Watch out, pdf file is pretty long to load.

Yugo ? I bet on light blue smoking Trabant RS. "Two stroke, too cool".

I have not seen it for about ten years now, but the fighter guys make movies, attack guys make history still stays in my memory (with the Stevie Ray Vaughan track in the same bar scene).

So, what about a lil' trip aboard the Tu-144 instead ? You got many choices : like Business Politbyuro class Economy... ...or crew retractil one And smurfs-scale emergency exit as a bonus

They validate the concept without having to risk a 1:1 scale prototype.

Well since the number 3 lesson point only on its ability to defend itself in case of gun attack, I would say its ECM systems would not serve him much against the 23mm shells (unless these B-52 are in the matrix) and they would be transformed into flying colanders.

Hawk Wars Episode I : Attack of the Drones ?

There was one similiar with major politic and economic systems some times ago, explained with cows too. EDIT : here you go Confused about the difference between socialism, Communism, and the politics of huge corporations? This basic “dictionary” may help. Feudalism: You have two cows. The lord of the manor takes some of the milk. And all the cream. Pure Socialism: You have two cows. The government takes them and puts them in a barn with everyone else's cows. You have to take care of all the cows. The government gives you as much milk as you need. Socialism: You have two cows. The government takes one of your cows and gives it to your neighbor. You're both forced to join a cooperative where you have to teach your neighbor how to take care of his cow. Bureaucratic Socialism: You have two cows. The government takes them and puts them in a barn with everyone else's cows. They are cared for by ex-chicken farmers. You have to take care of the chickens the government took from the chicken farmers. The government gives you as much milk and as many eggs as its regulations say you should need. Fascism: You have two cows. The government takes both, hires you to take care of them, and sells you the milk. Pure Communism: You have two cows. Your neighbors help you take care of them, and you all share the milk. Russian Communism: You have two cows. You have to take care of them, but the government takes all the milk. Communism: You have two cows. The government seizes both and provides you with milk. You wait in line for you share of the milk, but it's so long that the milk is sour by the time you get it. Dictatorship: You have two cows. The government takes both and shoots you. Militarism: You have two cows. The government takes both and drafts you. Pure Democracy: You have two cows. Your neighbors decide who gets the milk. Representative Democracy: You have two cows. Your neighbors pick someone to tell you who gets the milk. American Democracy: The government promises to give you two cows if you vote for it. After the election, the president is impeached for speculating in cow futures. The press dubs the affair "Cowgate." The cows are set free. Democracy, Democrat-style: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel guilty for being so successful. You vote politicians into office who tax your cows, which forces you to sell one to pay the tax. The politicians use the tax money to buy a cow for your neighbor. You feel good. Barbra Streisand sings for you. Democracy, Republican-style: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You move to a better neighborhood. Indian Democracy: You have two cows. You worship them. British Democracy: You have two cows. You feed them sheep brains and they go mad. The government gives you compensation for your diseased cows, compensation for your lost income, and a grant not to use your fields for anything else. And tells the public not to worry. Bureaucracy: You have two cows. At first the government regulates what you can feed them and when you can milk them. Then it pays you not to milk them. After that it takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and pours the milk down the drain. Then it requires you to fill out forms accounting for the missing cows. Anarchy: You have two cows. Either you sell the milk at a fair price or your neighbors try to kill you and take the cows. Capitalism: You have two cows. You lay one off, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when she drops dead. Singaporean Democracy: You have two cows. The government fines you for keeping two unlicensed farm animals in an apartment. Hong Kong Capitalism (alias Enron Capitalism): You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly-listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute an debt/equity swap with associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax deduction for keeping five cows. The milk rights of six cows are transferred via a Panamanian intermediary to a Cayman Isands company secretly owned by the majority shareholder, who sells the rights to all seven cows' milk back to the listed company. The annual report says that the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. Meanwhile, you kill the two cows because the Feng Shui is bad. Environmentalism: You have two cows. The government bans you from milking or killing them. Totalitarianism: You have two cows. The government takes them and denies they ever existed. Milk is banned. Foreign Policy, American-Style: You have two cows. The government taxes them and uses the money to buy a cow for a poor farmer a country ruled by a dictator. The farmer has no hay to feed the cow and his religion forbids him from eating it. The cow dies. The man dies. The dictator confiscates the dead man's farm and sells it, using the money to purchase US military equipment. The President declares the program a success and announces closer ties with our new ally. Bureaucracy, American-Style: You have two cows but you have to kill one of them because the government will only give you a license for one of them. The license requires you to sell all your milk to the government, which uses it to make cheese. The government pays lots of money to store the cheese in refrigerated warehouses. When the cheese spoils, the government distributes it to the poor. The poor get sick from the cheese, go to the emergency room, and are turned away because they have no health insurance. The President declares the program a success and reminds us that we have the finest health care system in the world. American Corporation: You have two cows. You sell one to a subsidiary company and lease it back to yourself so you can declare it as a tax loss. Your bosses give you a huge bonus. You inject the cows with drugs and they produce four times the normal amount of milk. Your bosses give you a huge bonus. When the drugs cause one of the cows to drop dead you announce to the press that you have down-sized, reducing expenses by 50 percent. The company stock goes up and your bosses give you a huge bonus. You lay off all your workers and move your production facilities to Mexico. You get a huge bonus. You contribute some of your profit to the President's re-election campaign. The President announces tax cuts for corporations in order to stimulate the economy. Japanese Corporation: You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You teach the cows to travel on unbelievably crowded trains. Your cows always get higher test scores than cows in the U.S. or Europe, but they drink a lot of sake. German Corporation: You have two cows. You engineer them so they are all blond, drink lots of beer, give excellent milk, and run a hundred miles an hour. Unfortunately they also demand 13 weeks of vacation per year and are very expensive to repair. Russian Corporation: You have two cows. You have some vodka. You count your cows and discover you really have five cows! You have more vodka. You count them again and discover you have 42 cows! You stop counting cows and have some more vodka. The Russian Mafia arrives and takes over all your cows. You have more vodka. Italian Corporation: You have two cows but you can't find them. While searching for them you meet a beautiful woman, take her out to lunch and then make love to her. Life is good. French Corporation: You have two cows. You go on strike because you want another cow, more vacation and shorter work weeks. The French government announces that it will never agree to your demands. You go to lunch and eat fabulous food and drink wonderful wine. While you are at lunch, the airline pilots and flight controllers join your strike, shutting down all air traffic. The truckers block all the roads and the dock workers block all the ports. By dinner time the French government announces it agrees with all your demands. Life is good. Political Correctness: You are associated with (the concept of "ownership" is an outdated symbol of your decadent, warmongering, intolerant past) two differently-aged (but no less valuable to society) bovines of non-specified gender. They get married and adopt a calf. Counterculturalism: Wow, dude, there's like . . . these two cows, man. You have got to have some of this milk. Surrealism: You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons. http://www.extremelysmart.com/humor/cowsexplain.php

Ho, ho, ho, ho, stayin' aliiiiiiiiiive... I do not know if it well happen in Russia as the title says, but this video save me from this miserable day.

A cowboy sounding Canadian while serving kiwis to patrol over the sheeps paddocks. Looks pretty good to me.

Thanks for info logan. I'd already see some pictures of this T-34 Transporter but never knew (or rather look for) anything about its story. It's one pretty interesting tinkering concept.

Poor T-34 ! Now it looks like some kind of a Star Wars Pod Racer.

And still a cultural phenomenom (Love the KrAZ truck)

What the Google director comitte will repond by :

Also agree with CHorse. However, their cells are aging quickly, may restart the production line of new A-10s could remedy this inconvenience. By the way, from a personal POW, I would F@#KING like to take over the Super Tucano controls! It would change of the Diamond DA40 well!

Simply awesome!

P&W T-34 test bed and SB-17. I pretty like the old 44-85531 with Fulton system used in Thunderball Different aircraft, but a variant which saved many in Korea

This allow to remember the heavy sacrifice of Canadian, British, US and Free French troops in Operation Jubilee, enabling the creation of these funnies, at which many laughed, but assured the following landings to be much safer and fluids. AVRE, Bridge Layer, carpet log, Crab, Crocodile, DD, Hobart and his gang put the basics of modern and mechanized landing.

I pretty like it actually. Don't precisely know, maybe this kind of supersonic X-32 with an agressive face, like the modern Dodge Viper logo. (Sorry to tarnish your work Spinners, this is the depiction that I have.)

Awesome news! At least some know to preserve their historical parts and maintain their memories. It's not going to happen in our nation, there just has to see the dark destiny of our CG Colbert : disarmed, floating museum in Bordeaux, bankruptcy, towed to Brest to rot with other fellow warships at Penfeld, then towed again back to Bordeaux a few days ago to be dismantled (!). But nothing surprising in a country where the global mentality sees you as a nationalist / fascist / whateveryouwantuntilitsbad if you have a bit interest in military history.

I know it starts to age, but perhaps actually the best representation
