Pretty sweet stuff. That stall flip maneuver is just insane, along with the tail slide.

Thrust vectoring nozzles:

Amazing stuff. Always fun to see such moves.

Yeah, it is. I miss going to airshows as a youngster.

AM/FM cassette?

 

[GordoDeCentral]

6 flags in haiti?

 

[Bjerknes]

No, the motion of the roller coasters will capsize the island.

 

[Enron]

Too bad it's completely unnecessary unless aliens invade.

 

[Bjerknes]

You think the Raptor will be able to stop alien crafts?

If aliens invade, we better hope the Area 51 theories are real.

 

[Enron]

If Will Smith is flying I do.

 

[GordoDeCentral]

i am down for some alien sex

 

[Bjerknes]

Damnit, they're even driving sex slave wages down!

The price is too steep for my likings, I'll wait for a newer model so this becomes a bit more affordable.

 

[Bjerknes]

Probably a good idea. You can get by with a slightly used one.

I remember when I first got the released specs of the 22 in like 1998 when I used to read only Jane's stuff, I was nutting then, now it's just cool.

More coolness:

Probably a good idea. You can get by with a slightly used one.

Only if it has had the service at the official dealer. I don't like my attack jets being played with by any mechanic.

well, they could put some cool rims on it, or a wood grain steering stick

Trimming is something else, I don't mind that. I'd like a neon glow on the bottom of the plane. And since I like running maybe they can add a treadmill in the plane, X-bizit (or whatever his name is) style.

But you can always get an F-35
