Heck yeah. I highly recommend seeing Bat-21 (1988) if you haven’t already. Danny Glover as the O-2 pilot is great.
In the movie it’s mainly used for recon - tracking and keeping contact with the colonel, and conducting recon on villages for airstrikes to be called in by F-105s.
I’ll have to give it a watch!
After learning people shoved Alisons and Db 600 series engines into cars, I wondered -
Can you do that with a R2800 Double Wasp?
Unfortunately that remains unconclusive.
However, I did find this - seaplane radial in a truck.
8.8 earthquake off of Russia last night.
Start prepping if you haven’t already.
My friend thinks he can grind to abrams (he is at the 75 jumbo) by the end of the year, he wants me to join him.
Thoughts?
I mean it’s doable if y’all are good
I was watching a livestream (on YouTube) of a coast in Japan waiting for the Tsunami, and the camera man panned his camera to look into peoples hotel rooms like some voyeur all of a sudden, lol. He then started waving his hand in front of the camera. The stream cut shortly after that. Was so random.
what the hell am i looking at.
Custom car built in the 60s by a man named John Dodd it was originally powered by a meteor engine but it burnt down on a return trip from a trip to Sweden from the UK and he rebuilt it with a Merlin engine
I’m sure the fire had nothing to do with the Meteor engine X)
what I find hilarious thought is that the man was so unphased by the first fire he decided that an engine meant for a tank was too easy and decided screw it, lets stick a notoriously maintenance heavy airplane engine in it instead!
His wikipedia page is also a goldmine:
Dodd, who was an eccentric, was known to fly under bridges, over his neighbour’s houses, and would often practice touch-and-go manoeuvres, to the extreme of renting a Hawaiian aeroplane to attempt a such a manoeuvre at Pearl Harbor runway, only deterred by a radio-communicated threat of being shot-down.
I would like to think I am, but he still has to learn the weak spots of German tanks, I’ve taught him how to cupola snipe, but panthers are still a problem for him to deal with. I’ve been learning too though, I never really had to worry about if I could pen a vehicle like a Tiger or not as a British main, but now I am learning new things like how I can UFP a T-34-85 with a 75mm sherman
