Put Sepang back on the F1 schedule, drop the Gulf states GPs as well as Madrid and Miami. Bring entertainment back to F1 racing.

And don’t come at me saying “we can’t crash the Russian economy!” We absolutely can. Russia’s economy is smaller than the GDP of Texas. The world would figure it out. Look around your house… nothing was made in Russia.

No reason to worry about a plague escaping a Russian lab. We just have to trust in the transparency and capability of a Putin led regime.

#OTD On Oct 4, 1943, USS Ranger launched the only U.S. carrier operation in northern European waters, attacking German ships in Norway. VF-4 Wildcats shot down 2 German planes, while other aircraft sank 4 steamers and a transport, damaging 5 more vessels. #WWII #WW2 #history #navalhistory

2-1/2 hours left in the IMSA Motul Petit LeMans 10-hour race from Atlanta. They've been driving in high heat and stupid humidity for 7-1/2 hours. It's dark now. The race will be a crash-fest from here on out.

The location of the hyper-technical intake prompted some interesting design items, including the upward opening canopy. I wonder if the pilot ever climbed aboard when the engine was running. Oh, the engine was a J75 as used on F-105, Avro Arrow, F-106, and the Crusader III. Big noise 'n smoke.

And if you do build one in 1/72 scale, application of every single stencil decal is mandated by international law. Have fun with this one!

I'm pretty sure this aircraft is available in 1/72 scale kit form. Which opens up myriad of paint scheme possibilities. Somebody did a nice job with this one. SEA scheme works on just about anything.

Only three were built before the USAF decided the F-105 was the better design for the mission. Two survive. One at the National Museum of the USAF, the other at the Pima Air Museum. This one wound up its time on this earth as a firefighting hulk, and was scrapped.

I'm guessing the name ULTRA SABRE wasn't coined until the early 2000s, in its day it was the F-107A. It competed with the Republic F-105 for a tactical fighter bomber contract, which meant tactical nukes delivered at higher speeds than a B-47 or B-52. Recessed weapon bay underneath.

What’s the focus of #SabreSaturday this week? Sabres at war? In foreign service? FJ Fury? Super Sabre? Civilian Sabre? Nope. None of the above. Today, it’s ULTRA SABRE, the F-107A…

Yet another example of a populist holy man attempting to destroy the rights of others, and get rich off the fears of his flock. Get very rich. An eternal plague on mankind. Sound familiar?

This is excellent! Whenever German landing forces are mentioned in historical accounts, the landing craft are always just referred to as "barges". Thank you.
