    The F-35 doesn't deserve the name lightning. More like "electrical fire."

    I'm currently at an MRO in Dothan doing cargo conversions on 737-400's, but we just got a C-130 in for paint and maybe some maintenance. It's owned by International Air Response Inc, who's C-130s are used in film. Furious 7, Nvidia commercial, and my favorite scene from Dark Knight Rises, to name a few. This one's an old Alpha with a GTC, no APU.

    Now, here's a shitty pic:

    When I was talking to the designer, he said he already has close to 100 pre-orders. Not sure if that is true or not because he is still looking for investors.

    Also, it's a pusher prop.

    Today is 767 & 777 day.

    Main gear on the 777 is a 6 wheel truck with rear axle steering, carbon brakes & 52" tires.
    777RMLG.jpg


    This is an ETOPs flight so oil is serviced to full is required prior to departure. Access door is open on #2 (aircraft right) motor and this is the view looking at the tank and non-pressure fill port.

    #1 (aircraft left) wing and GE90-110. The "N1" fan is more than 10.5 feet in diameter or just under a foot smaller than the interior cross section width of a Boeing 737. Aft and outboard is a man standing on a fuel truck.

    True but they had to be modified to fit the bombs. What it should say is it was the first bomber designed from the start to carry nuclear bombs.

    Well....let me rephrase that. Some are better suited for it than others. Flying with them is a good way to figure that out haha.
