1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Fortunately back in the 90s, Boeing lost to Lockheed for the bid on making the next generation fighter jet and we ended up with the F-35 and F-22s instead of this monstrosity


Boeing X-32

 

I have yet to see those damn bags in the wild. Been wanting to try them though.

Yeah that would def solve the main issue I had which is having the setup stay in place while switching bottles lol I still need to hold the thing to pump.

 

Wally world always has them when I got, only a couple weights though, 80-90 is one of them I think

 

I like keeping up on the news out of Eastern Europe for fighter plane stuff, it's kinda funny watching a superpower nation mobilize Soviet era crap like MiGs still. Watching a rando NK propaganda video in class I remember being in awe that they were touting state of the art defense while flying some surplus soviet MiG-15s (a plane that entered production in 1947)

 

Nah, when the puppy is too much you put them in the kennel lol at 14w ours is trained to go in hers when we tell her although usually takes a treat to do so.

yeah they had her crate trained too for when they were out of the house or kids were napping, etc. She did eat up her dog bed in the kennel last week but I think our family being in the house just made her more amped up than normal

our husky Dex will go in his crate without much fuss, only when we leave the house and can't take him with us. Because as good as he's getting at ignoring the cats, if one of them gets startled and makes a sudden move near him it's like he can't help it - the chase is on

its basically what happened at my sisters house yesterday, forgot they had a cat and when Dex saw it all hell broke loose. Can't squash a husky's prey drive, can only hope to control it a bit lol.

 

I’ve found all the cockpit POV videos out of Ukraine really interesting. That ejection video was wild. A lot of Su-25s from both sides of the conflict.

Russia is using their newer aircraft more sparingly.

 

I've always loved the design of the Mig29, maybe it makes me a traitor to say it but I dun care. It's a sexy looking plane even if it's outdated, kind of like how the F-15 always looks good even though it's like 50 years old now.

 

I hate using these pumps so much lmao

 

I wasted like an hour on this article Saturday.

Edit: And one of those Soviet test pilots referenced was involved in a collision. between two MiG-29s at an airshow in 1993.

 

oh yeah I can go down a deep rabbit hole when it comes to Cold War era related aviation...the kinds of feats achieved during that time out of fear of nuclear holocaust was incredible.



I mean it gave us the greatest plane of all time

 

Hey the threat is present again, maybe we can get some cool planes

 

and I'm gonna have to wait like 20 years to find out what they are

assuming we all survive

 

The waiting sucks

 

I mean you don't really hear sonic booms any more like I remember hearing in the early 90s living out here so if they are testing stuff like that, it's not happening in the usual places

or maybe they have sonic boom silencers now idk

 

I feel like CA is a bad place to test super secret stuff, realistically its hard to hide things in a place so populous and because it is a huge economy and on the water it would likely be one of the first places obliterated form the map

 

Yeah back in the 50s/60s it was way more ideal I'm sure. Probably happens now up in northern Alaska or the middle of the ocean or something

 

I would think New Mexico or Nevada are still pretty viable for that kind of stuff. There's a lot of nothing that's government owned out there.
