Didn't we send one after an attack balloon?

Yes! That was celebrated as the first combat victory of the F22. $5 million missile on a $500 balloon.

The up close at altitude pix were from a U2. 60kft. Neato.

That’s a pretty good deal actually. How much does the ribeye steak weigh? Choice or prime?

Except for the Busch. Busch? Seriously? It is 2024. We don’t have to drink the gross stuff. How about a Fat Tire? Or at least Michelob.

Actually, they prefer bugs. The poultry industry feeds them grain because it's more industrially efficient. They taste better and make tastier eggs if they're allowed to eat their natural diet.

Yes, the B-1 was supposed to take over the SAC role of the B-52. The president cancelled it saying it was a good airplane, just 40% too expensive as a B-52 replacement. President Reagan brought it back as the redesigned B-1b, which was doubly wrong as we were so much closer to the B-2 then. The B-2 is a national treasure and I would never want to put one in harms way.

I liked the B-1 and I thought they could have produced one wing as a special purpose bomber, perhaps building as many as the B-1b's that were actually built. What I liked most most about the B-1 was that it could do a base escape with a supersonic dash, while the B-52 had to be kept in the air or at remote locations to avoid destruction by a nuclear blast. I also liked the variable inlet option for enhanced supersonic performance.

Yes. As I recall, the President cancelled it yet couldn't state the real reason because the stealth B2 was still completely secret. Around that time the LA Times reported ~ 10,000 people working at Lockheed/Burbank, yet there was no record of a public or government contract explaining what they were doing (F-117).

And only 2? For grilling a nice ribeye?

The one all the way on the left has a different beer, but I don't recognize the livery. All the same, I'd prefer a Sam Adams or a Yuengling.

And only 2? For grilling a nice ribeye?

Umm, $20. Assuming it's a good size steak, and it certainly appears to be well marbled, that's a good deal even if I throw out the lousy beer.

I've installed a lot of those, I could usually get them real close by eyeball.

Rule of thumb we always used was 'double matchbook cover' thickness, and then tweak from there.
