Strong werk, Vegas! Pima is top of the short list, especially after seeing yer pics!
What the hay is the story on the hybrid B-29?

Thanks Reilly! It's the best I have been to thus far. And that's actually a B-50, an upgraded version of the 29. Not many of them had the jets, so it's a very rare bird.

(Newser) – A BASE jumper apparently trying to make it to the floor of an Idaho canyon instead ended up stuck on the canyon wall Tuesday night, KMVT reports. Emergency responders were called to the scene in Twin Falls, where one descended the cliff face to perform a rope rescue, CBS News reports. Witnesses said another man made the same jump but did end up safe on the floor of the canyon. The man who was rescued declined medical attention.

Nice vid! Sure looked like there were almost some bad tangles! It might have been due to the long lens’ foreshortening. As big as those chutes were they landed harder than my knees and back would like.

Nice conditions for a re-qual day (assuming, since a 4th ID guy snuck in among the 82/101).
JM called ground wind pretty accurately. Or he was blowing kisses at the number 4 jumper in his stick.

that was one crazy jackass stunt

but I couldn't help smiling when both had made it. even pumped my fist (totally involuntary, like the smiling -- like I said, utterly jackass, indefensibly bad-judgment stunt)

Hocking, DON’T GET ME STARTED! A Thud! Boy, howdy, Charlie hated life when those bad boys rolled in to deliver the goods!

And the CH-56! What a monster! Check out the new K model! Three freaking engines!
22,500 SHP! It can deliver 55 Gyrenes at 170 kts! That’ll ruin yer day! Boo-Yah! 😜

Say buh-bye, A380! Gotta say I enjoy riding in them. When yer in business on the top deck you can barely hear the engines. Even at takeoff power you can whisper to yer mate.

^^^^^^^^ Good god...........
Flying saucers function by ionizing the air surrounding their spacecraft produced by radiation exposure to their surface structure. They “thin” the local gravitational field by separating the ions with a strong magnetic field so they are effectively flying through a rarefied atmosphere similar in composition to the ionosphere.

The diminished pressure gradients eases the boundary layer effects between the saucer’s hull and the atmosphere, thereby substantially reducing or completely eliminating the effects of Gravity. The production of a magnetic over-gradient in the atmosphere surrounding the space craft creates a counterbary to the effects of gravity. (Magnetic buoyancy).

Flying saucers have been using microwave and or neutron radiation to reduce plasma-air density in the atmosphere surrounding the saucer’s edge by simply heating or turning the air into an ionizing plasma. It has previously been suggested that the transfer of photon momentum (hv/c) is employed in repel the ionized air molecules. However, only thermal and magnetic effects are considered in this analysis, although photon momentum transfer will enhance the net effect.

A few years ago I was doing field geology on the Indian Springs playa on Creech AFB when the Thunderbirds sent a couple of hours practicing their routines over my head. One of the best days in the field ever. Another time I was doing field work on another playa farther north on the Nevada Test and Training Range (part of Nellis AFB)when F-16s were doing a close air support live fire exercise on the next playa over. I was extremely happy all of the pilots knew exactly where they were and didn't drop any live ordnance on me. Another completely cool day in the field.

In the spirit of sharing the vintage aircraft joy, my offerings are posted below:
