Cool looking but it reminds me of a rear mount tower. I hated driving those things.

Rode around in one as a teenager that had an LS swap done by Street and Performance. Also cruised in a 94 caprice classic with a 502

I am surprised a man that has accomplished the things you have, been the places you have, experienced the things you have, can be the least bit bothered by a minor amount of body fat, sweat, fumunda and odor. It can't be anywhere near as bad as encountering your first big shark while diving.
Convair made the B-58, and it was a delta wing 4 engine bomber.
A lot of the technology from it went into the Rockwell (now Boeing) B-1.
Also, technology from the Valkyrie bomber was used to enhance performance of the B-1. It also allowed for the first supersonic jet liner, the Concorde.
Not JATO.
Those engines used water injection to boost thrust.
The KC/EC-135s used 670 gallons of water on takeoff.
Engines and performance[edit]
B-47B using JATO bottles to reduce takeoff distance
During the late 1940s, the bomber was hailed as the fastest of its class in the world.[42] The first prototypes were fitted with General Electric J35 turbojets, the production version of the TG-180, with 3,970 lbf (17.7 kN) of thrust. Early jet engines did not develop good thrust at low speeds, so to assist take off when heavily loaded, the B-47 had provisions for fitting solid-fuel rocket-assisted takeoff (RATO) rockets, each generating roughly 1,000 lbf (4.4 kN) of static thrust.[43] Early aircraft had mounts for nine RATO units built into each side of the rear fuselage, arranged in three rows of three bottles. Most of the space within the upper fuselage was taken up by self-sealing fuel tanks, the wing having been deemed unsuitable for storing fuel.[44]
The performance of the Model 450 was projected to be so good that the bomber would be as fast as fighters then on the drawing board;[45] thus the only defensive armament was to be a tail turret with two .50 in (12.7 mm) AN/M2 Browning machine guns, which would in principle be directed by an automatic fire-control system.[46]
my father had a few dollars (he only had a few dollar in general lol) in the company who was designing or mfg the landing gear.someone say fast and sexy,,, and could carry bombs?
when the news came out it was canceled he was so pissed that he lost his 200$ or what every it was.
We meet the first Tuesday of every month except in December when the national meeting is held on the Winter Solstice.
XB-70 was a hell of a test platform. All those supersonic platforms of the 50's and 60's were amazing.
I always get a chuckle when people bring up "OMG China and Russia have hypersonic things! What will we do??"
Me: "Broski, read about the X-15 back in the mid-1960's... we're a little ahead in the knowledge/time curve...." their face is always priceless
I wish I could have experienced a JATO takeoff on one of my RC130 flights.Engines and performance[edit]

It seems as if@168BTHPM is a little jealous of the special relationship that I have with Dirty D. I have personally been the judge of more than a few hog hunts down in Imperial Beach, but I have never seen so much meat on the hoof as he posts. It would take a Bad Dragon horse cock to please those women as my Itty bitty thing just wouldn't reach. Pic added to avoid Dirty D'swrath. (
This is Hawaii 1986)
Pretty amazing aircraft and set many records in its day. They have one or did have a static display at the Pima Air Museum. They developed an ejection capsule for the crew members to protect the aircrew from a high speed/altitude ejection. One of the capsules is also on display.
SR-71 is my favorite plane.
Back when I was a Haas CNC service tech, I went to Air National Guard Memphis a couple times. One time there were 2 C5 Galaxy in the hangar where I was working, and 4 more outside. They gave me a tour of one. MASSIVE landing gear. There are seats up in the tail of that aircraft.
They wouldn't allow me to take any pictures, though.

The last one is at Wright Patterson, saw it about 25 years ago on the way to Camp Perry.someone say fast and sexy,,, and could carry bombs?
Kelly Johnson and his Skunkworks Team. Stunning aircraft.
Skunk Works by Ben Rich was one of my favorite reads.

The ignore list is a wonderful thing. Anyone that posts that shit goes straight on it. Nothing they have to say or share is worth risking seeing that.Some of us might be trying to eat.
Bragging about the ignore list makes most people think you're an uptight douche.The ignore list is a wonderful thing. Anyone that posts that shit goes straight on it. Nothing they have to say or share is worth risking seeing that.Some of us might be trying to eat.
A grown man can see something they don't like and move on, but for some reason y'all love to brag about it lol
Knowing how rapey dolphins are, it was probably consensual.
If there was a demotivational thread, it wouldn't be so bad - you could just not bother clicking on it.
Or...y'all could just grow some balls. They do it because y'all continue to bitch.If there was a demotivational thread, it wouldn't be so bad - you could just not bother clicking on it.
