Mk-1 Tactical Dildo, heated shaft, looks like it broke off the motorized base unit.

Realpost - neat background on that Royal Marines Commando documentary, the 55-year-old filmmaker put himself through the entire selection process (!). Series starts here, the end is a tearjerker.

I've heard those things are really hard to fly. They have this weird niche in their performance envelope at like Mach 1.8 where you can stall the engine out and die, pretty much.

That, the wing sweep is manual (you sweep the wings by pulling a lever, and doing so at the wrong speed/AoA/other flight regime can send the aircraft into uncontrolled flight), and it is pretty easy to overspeed because once you hit a certain point (IIRC somewhere just below Mach 2, give or take) a friction lock engaged making it impossible to rapidly reduce the throttle. From the idiots thread:

iyaayas01 posted:

My understanding is that his mishap took place on the second of two orientation flights (if I had my copy of Red Eagles with me I could confirm this), which called for a high speed run. The only real fault here is that Bond got a little carried away with the speed and exceeded the speed he was supposed to be at and departed controlled flight...if I had my copy of Red Eagles I could tell you the specifics but there was some kind of a friction lock on the throttle of the MiG-23 where once you pushed past a certain speed the lock engaged so you couldn't quickly pull back on the throttle, because the rapid deceleration from those high speeds could could cause the engine to break loose from its mounts (which would be bad, obviously). So once you were past a certain speed you were kind of along for the ride for a certain period of time because you had to slowly decelerate. IIRC Bond got going too fast and got in over his head/task saturated to the point where he forgot about/didn't realize the friction lock was engaged and wasn't able to slow down, then departed controlled flight and was forced to eject while still supersonic.

So yeah, the MiG-23 is pretty difficult to fly. If you read Davies' book, not nearly as many Red Eagles were qualified in the Flogger compared to the MiG-21 or -17, and it quickly gained a reputation as an airplane that you had to be fully engaged with constantly and be several steps ahead of all the time, because if you didn't it would find a way to bite you. It was a hot rod with some serious speed and acceleration, but that came at a price. Have some Red Eagles/4477th TES pictures:

Yeah, that's the incident I was thinking of. As I recall he basically took the thing out on a joyride without telling anyone or planning it out and it killed him.

Eh, not really...from the same post in the same thread:

iyaayas01 posted:

As for General Bond's incident, he kind of pulled rank, but it isn't really as bad as it sounds. IIRC this wasn't that unheard of, as another couple of other senior officers did it...the thought process was that they needed to get the experience of the aircraft to be able to effectively advocate for it/fully appreciate the need for it (especially when it came to funding)/etc. The typical profile for this kind of flight was what the Red Eagles called an "orientation" flight...it was what the Red Eagles would fly on their first couple of sorties flying a type of MiG: an experienced check pilot would go up in a chase T-38 while the student pilot (or senior officer) would put the MiG through some basic maneuver. Given General Bond's position as AFSC Vice, as I alluded to above he would've been a) read in on the Red Eagles, and b) actually had something to do with the MiG programs in general. Additionally, the way Jacobson writes it makes it sound like he was out there to see the F-117 and just happened to see the MiGs and was like "ooh, shiny MiGs, I want to fly one." That wasn't it at all; his visit was primarily intended to touch base with the Red Eagles, so the plan always was for him to get some flying time with the MiGs.

It was a planned sortie with a standard brief, there was a Red Eagle check pilot flying in a chase plane (pretty sure it was a T-38 but I still haven't gotten my household goods yet so I can't check my book), the mishap flight was actually his second flight in the Flogger, he just got in over his head and let the plane get away from him.

You could make a case (as some of the Red Eagles have) that neither he nor any other non-Red Eagle should've ever been flying the Flogger because it was just too hard of an aircraft to handle, and now that I think about it I think the preflight brief may have been abbreviated, but he didn't just pull rank and jump in the jet for a joyride.

I'll ask around to see if anyone has a subtitled version. Meanwhile, I've been cataloging hundreds of videos of cluster bombs in Syria, and these two videos are my picks for best and worst cluster bomb videos (that aren't horribly gory)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXxUnzximuY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7hU6lI3Poc

The worst video, which I won't post here, shows a motorcycle that was hit by a bomblet, the rider of which was decapitated in such a way that it degloved the skin on his neck, left his head in one piece, and resulted in what looked like a macabre sockpuppet being held up to the camera.
