New F-15 render is a chonker. But it also promises 10x2xG plus tanks, conformal and otherwise. https://twitter.com/ValerieInsinna/status/1116008825197223937

In all seriousness, for a lot of other countries that might consider a “new” F-15, mega gas bags plus ordnance is more attractive than sick-nasty turn radii. A tanker fleet is expensive, and you can’t always count on a benefactor with tankers if you want to protect your skies and/or bomb the locals/neighbors you don’t like.

derek davison @dwdavison Very tense situation unfolding in the Pacific. If Russia or China were to get their hands on wreckage of this crashed F-35 there's an extremely high risk that they will build their own $1.5 trillion aircraft that doesn't work. 1,473 11:23 AM - Apr 10, 2019

Found one benefit of a toddler having a meltdown across the aisle from you. I had a silent-but-deadly I let go (had to, tried to hold but couldn't) and it was a terrible eye-waterer, but everyone, including the parents, thought it was the kid loading his diaper.

You're stuck in a tin can with a couple of hundred of other people for what feels like days and you need to poison the air? I bet you also fart in elevators.

Most of them got eaten but the rest of them just sat in the area until the next morning. One of the guys I work with rolled in, saw that there were still tacos from the night before, and loving ate one for breakfast. He was somehow fine.

I just turned 34 and the only time I remember uncontrollably making GBS threads my pants was when I was 12 while very, very drunk. Have shat in plane: facilities 2/5, tp 0/5, peanuts 5/5.

I spent the entire ride through the Chunnel making GBS threads my insides out at 175mph while under the English Channel. I was in the bathroom all the way from Ashford to Aire-sur-la-Lys or whatever.

On a somewhat related note, not having any washrooms between the gate and customs for international arrivals is understandable in one sense, but horribly sadistic in another.
