Aircraft technology just can't keep up with surface to air missile advancements . Until some kind of game changer comes along, manned fighters are going to be a thing of the past. Stealth is just a FEEL GOOD key word to get funds from those "TARDS from Capitol Hill. Your govt is not telling you that other advanced militaries have already found a way to find and kill stealth using low frequency technology. Anyone remember the Bosnia-Serb war. Parts of that shoot down were in the hands of ten other countries within hours. Not just to reverse engineer it but to learn kill. Maybee Obama will replace the Warthog with a Prius with cardboard wings that drops water balloons and the pilot can yell mean words out of the sunroof

I was working at Kadena AFB on Okinawa a few years back, doing energy audits. My first day on base, we were driving to the Civil Engineering building, right behind the landing strip. As we were driving an F-22 flew overhead, maybe 75' above the ground coming in for a landing. My buddy, who grew up an Air Force brat, turned to me, was that what I think it was??? Yup! Whole squadron was landing, followed by my next favorite, F-15's... we sat there for maybe an hour.

 

Love the Raptors and Eagles..

My work is located at the end of a military base runway here in the northeast. Mainly we just have the transport planes but while they had to refinish the local f-15 squads runway they were taking off at this base and wow are they loud and move quick. F15's are the hellcat of jet fighters imo you not only hear them take off but feel them too.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
