I’m wondering if the state is paying a subsidy to make up the difference for the uninsured.

Thx. Big stretch for that joke!

The F-8 Crusader introduced in 1957 is the last fighter to have an internal gun.
F-18, F-15, F-22 and others have Vulcan cannons. I believe the F4 was the last fighter to not have an internal gun.

Okay, it is very easy to remove on the Rossis and it looks like it is the same on the Heritage. Remove the bolt, drive the pin out, then you can lift the safety out [watch the spring]. The hole remaining is easily filled with a cut down .25 ACP case.

Off of trail cam up the drive.
Good one.
Although not a true “trail cam” photo, this is from my son’s attic a few days ago. Hoping he’s trapped by now. Appears this acrobatic little bugger was getting into hole at the base of the chimney on the second story roof!

Slim,
Partially correct. The YB-49 exhibited a measure of adverse yaw. The amount of adverse yaw only affected the bombing accuracy with dumb iron bombs. One must remember pinpoint accuracy is not a requirement with Nukes. Close Counts 🤪
Sorta kinda/yes and no. The Nagasaki bombing was “less” effective than Hiroshima because it was off target and terrain shielded industries they intended to destroy. Splitting hairs I know, but that’s the way it was judged at the time.
🤓 -
The thing I read about the YB-49 is that the original piston engine fairings are what gave it some measure of lateral stability, but keeping the engines cool was a major problem. They switched to the then-new turbojets, but lateral stability was worse. Even the addition of top and bottom vertical stabilizers couldn’t solve the problem, making its role as a stable bombing platform untenable with that era’s technology.

PS: forgot to add, I sent a Sample Example of Stick, Mark 1, to Driftwood Johnson who did a thread on it and it took off. Driftwood made his own iteration out of "Delrin (sp) Rod"
And I continue to proselytize said rod to those who observe me slinging lead without doing the “Henry Hop”. 😁

The OP plans to use revolvers on all targets in my club’s Josey Wales category. One of the stages has six shotgun targets which means the shooter must either perform an “on the clock” reload or take a miss.Got it. I haven’t seen a Josie Wales match in eons either. They weren’t popular at our club.
-
I haven’t seen a pistol reload in over 10 years. I thought it had fallen out of favor along with distant targets.

I barely made it through the 2nd season, which paled in comparison to the first. All the cliches made it like every crime show ever made.
Maybe this one is better?

Also looking possible the landing gear on one side of the lane simply collapsed. Will be months before those kind of findings are final.
We’ll never know. The media has already moved on as they have with the DC collision. Results will eventually be published, but not by MSM. One will have to do a search about a year+ from now.

Been awhile, like 1963 or so. One thing I was told was not to land in a crosswind with full (mechanical, not electrical) flaps, cause it covered up the horizontal stabilizers! Regardless, a wind shear could have contributed to the CRJ 900 crash.
Yup, the 172s of that vintage became known for that. Those “barn doors” went from 0-40 degrees. The FAA stepped in and required those models be placarded with “max 30 degrees” warning. Later models only went from 0-30 degrees extension.
I agree wind shear could have been a factor. It was a blustery day and I’ve experienced that. If I was an investigator, I’d be asking the flight crew why they didn’t execute a go-around?
Crazy fishing outing in New Zealand

Looks like dolphins are competing with Aussie “drop bears”. Glad this worked out for all involved. I love to hear these blokes explain it to the boat insurer.
