It's gonna be COLD AF too on that flight. Cue the recent incident where the two stowaways on that JetBlue flight were found dead and frozen in that wheel well.
Took a flight to Europe last week. The "my flight" info said it was -94 Degrees F. Coldest I have ever seen.
 
The yellow one seems to hold the lifelines for the other ones too. Take out the yellow and the foundation that supports all the others can be collapsed as well. It's like in the beginning of Starship Troopers when Rico's squad during the raid on the Skinnies' homeworld had already expended their munitions as per the commander's orders and were closing the flank to meet at the extraction point. Rico had one mini-nuke rocket left for his suit's launcher and he had several targets in the enemy city to choose from. He settled on the furthest one, which he figured was either the powerplant or the HQ for the Skinnies' planetary defense. If the former, it would cause widespread blackout and complete disabling of computer/radar/hi tech weapons systems for a long time. If the latter, the enemy leadership would be glassed. In any case, it would have inflicted the least amount of noncombatant casualties with the greatest amount of infrastructure and morale damage...
lol, I’m not a movie buff so this analogy doesn’t mean anything to me. Point stands, though. If none of these fraudulent agencies have an automatic budget of stolen money they can’t do any of the disgusting shit they want. And, the war of terror stops immediately. Win-win

There was a story about a B-17 flying combat missions over Europe that got it's entire tail section blown off by 88mm flak and the crew coolly flew it back to base and landed the bird. These machines are the essence of the very American spirit. I don't think anything else in the world that flies is capable of feats like that.

A few years ago a B-52 was flying over Arkansas. The tail gunner lost Coms with the pilot & others ….for some reason he thought the plane was in trouble and he punched out.
Took them awhile to find out WTF happened …..and where did he come down ? 😳
I think they didn’t mess with him , because who wants to punch out if they didn’t think something was bad wrong ?😳 I think he wasn’t injured if memory serves me.
I reckon they did mess with him

Edit : just found this on the interweb

Roughly 20 years ago a G model gunner did eject unexpectedly, but everyone
else on board knew about it when he went since G model gunners were up front
with the rest of the crew and did use ejection seats. IIRC it was a
Blytheville (Eaker) aircraft which was over Tennessee at the time. The gunner
had dozed off and came awake in a disoriented state. He thought he saw the
bail out warning light and grabbed the handles, rotated and squeezed. They
found him hobbling along a country road and found his seat embedded in a
farmers field. As I recall, he was removed from crew status and never flew
again.
