The Aviation Thread [Contains Lots of Awesome Pictures]

Actually, those IronKey keys just recently got the SHIT owned out of them by a really damned basic security flaw. The government is not happy.
 
Yes, but it looks awesome. And it has a LM logo on it.

Does it say that on the flight console when you put the key in? :D
 
Runways? Where we're going we don't need...runways.

Kajun, you love posting videos of aircrafts taking off in incredibly short distances don't you? :p
 
Takeoff distance is the aircraft equivalent to 0-60 times...I think.

If so then the C-130 is this thread's Veyron. :cool:

That's just bonkers, it lands and takes off in less than 2 plane lengths :shock:

The strangeness... I can't see it... Remember it's a freighter, so there's no row of windows downstairs. Also, there's no need for the longer upper deck of the Intercontinental (Stretched -300 or -400) version.
 
Speaking of 747-8, who is actually buying the things?

Depending on the headwind, those things can actually take off backwards... haha.
 
^ I remember playing around in Flight Simulator and turning the wind up to maximum for the Cub. I couldn't keep it on the ground. :lol:
 
I've taken the first small step towards my goal of being a pilot - Booked in my first flight lesson today
