^^^ He said, "FLIGHT TEST", not "DESTRUCTIVE CRASH TEST"!!!!
LOL!

You don't think I'd waste a valuable piece of hardware do you!
Flight test:
Takeoff in Baghdad fly around more or less inside the countries boundaries.
Then go ballistic.
Cross the boarder into Iran with a planned pull-out of the ballistic trajectory over Tehran.
Make a couple of low level high speed runs over Tehran.
Then a couple passes over suspected nuclear facilities.
Then quick sprint into Afghanistan where you do a few circuits of the country.
Then make a few low speed passes over Kabul before actually landing!

"Where do you flight test a nuclear reactor?"

Baghdad or Kabul come to mind!

[Safety Guy]

Thanks for the SLAM, Jim!

"Where do you flight test a nuclear reactor?"

Ha!

^^^That was beautiful FB71 those were the days!
I think I have something in my eye :crybaby:
sniff
sniff

My nuclear engineering profs used to tell us of those type of things!

FB71, remember project Timberwind?

Hey Sam...


And as for you, Karl....

I think you have about as much chance of getting a Puff airborne as I have a Spectre!!!

But, since we're one-upping each other... If you don't think a Spectre is sufficient competition for a Puff, try this!

The "Flying Crowbar" FTW!!! Nothing quite like a nuclear engined, supersonic low altitude cruise missle, capable of dropping 26 separate nuclear warheads!!!!

AND, It's OLD SKOOL!!!! Concieved in the 50's, tested in the 60's!!!!

^^^ Its them USAF fly-boy types that started all this airplane bizness!! LOL!

[Damkid]

i have to laugh at the direction this thread has gone, it started by planning Ohiostiva and is now about airplanes :lol: i'm not complaining just being observant

[sam.1956]

^^I'd bet I could fly a Festy under a 9-cell 430 sq ft tandem canopy!

[Pu241]

Sam, I believe it does!
But not as nice as a C130 or C141 were the butt end drops and you don't have to worry about smacking the rear tail section when you jump!
Though I have to think you'd have to work pretty hard to do that.
Besides can drop bigger stuff.
Anyone know what they used to drop the "Daisy Cutter"?

[sam.1956]

^^^Hmmm.... does this DC-3 have a jump door?? =8^)

[Pu241]

Spectre costs too much!
You can't afford it, Jim. Admit it is so!!

Karl,
We aren't buying it, we just have them flying cover for us during one of their flight training exercises which happens to coincide with our drive up to Summit.
Cost zero dollars!
Do you actually have a pilots license so you could fly the DC-3?

[Safety Guy]

Spectre costs too much!

You can't afford it, Jim. Admit it is so!!

Meanwhile, I have a line on a good used DC-3. All it needs are engines and wings.

After I put those on, I'll hook up my Garand, my Carbine and my 10/22 to fire out the windows.

Then I'll find you on a vacant football field...

DANCE JIM, DANCE!!!!

Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-PING!

Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang!

Pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop!

Then I set Puff on autopilot and I'll run back and RELOAD!

(I also have some scrap metal and my garbage to push out the door.)

You're toast, boy!

Karl

[FB71]

Puff may be magical, but the Spectre will take your life!

[Safety Guy]

Jim, Puff is magical, so size doesn't matter!
