    There's a climate change thread over in Social Australia where denialists can have their say.

    The article says one option is to have the glider land with the plane, still on the tow rope! Sure...

    The Airbus Beluga was based on an existing A300. This looks like a completely new aircraft (there's certainly nothing in the world like it now) so you'd think there'd be a large amount of development work.

    You quickly zip-line to the glider and break away.

    Bit misleading - "delivers" implies that it is currently delivering, whereas "in the concept stage and may be flying in 5 years" should be described as "may deliver".

    Fighter

    Marty_d posted a movie in General Movies

    Top IAF aviators come together in the face of imminent danger, to form Air Dragons. Fighter unfolds their camaraderie, brotherhood and battles, internal and external.

    You leave the net up, works the same way as an aircraft carrier...

    End of the day, everybody lived.

    True, but it sounds like the other aircraft weren't being very communicative.

    Imagine finding the short in that lot.

    Because the chances are the build quality would be the same as piloted ones.

    Imagine the door coming off an SST at hypersonic speeds.

    I did think of calling the thread "Another passenger jet in the Hudson!" but thought that may be in poor taste.

    Might have been sanding with sand blasters. Who knows - as a static display the paintwork's not going to be going anywhere at mach 2.

    Must have been a sight for New Yorkers. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/14/concorde-completes-final-journey-along-hudson-river-in-new-york

    Looks like their starting bid for everything is $1000, including the "baggage trailer with accessories" which has bugger-all use for anything else.

    As a nature reserve, the best you can hope for is to find a tight seal.

    Looks like it's a nature reserve. So the quarantine stations will be 2x 3m tinnies powered by Evinrude 3.5hp motors, parked either end. (Example on 1 end crudely drawn in).

    Just joking Nev. Of course we couldn't go it alone. We could become New Zealand's westernmost island though.

    Big enough to place passport control, when we secede...

    If they put a jet engine in it and called it a Vampire, it would have worked a lot better...

    Well there you go - I never knew we had a land border!
