Definitely Credible Sport! Even more rockets than usual, can take off and land in a soccer stadium!

Just imagine the prototypes if it was Non-Credible Sport!

I don’t care which variant it is as long as it’s flying full speed up my asshole.

idk something tells me the XV208 would be right up your alley

Missed opportunity to call it the IC(y)-130

Not really related, I saw a c-17a globemaster III today over Austin today. Was flying in from DC. Still pretty cool

MC-130J. 100% impossible to prove me wrong

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

AC-130 (any variation).

Not because of any strategic options, tech innovation, influence on the world or anything traditional.... just the pure disrespect you can give anyone without basic anti air capabilities.

I hear Wagner mercs are huge fans!

Plain, simple, 4 fan trash can for me. H model with an eng and a nav, and the square blades because the new ones sound all wrong

[–] SomeAmateur@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Oh yeah the roar of an B-H model has some gravitas to it

That reminds me, I've always wondered why P3 blades had rounded tips and C-130s had square ones.

The Super COD

"The last landing I participated in, we touched down about 150 feet from the end, stopped in 270 feet more, and launched from that position, using what was left of the deck. We still had a couple hundred feet left when we lifted off. Admiral Brown was flabbergasted.
