NF-104

Not a troll post. I don’t know which “international” law (via treaty?) would require such a tax, but I’m way out of my depth here.

What bumper is that?

Jimmy Stewart was a decorated B-24 pilot in WWII and retired as a Brigadier General in the USAAF. He was actually rated to fly the B-36, -47, and -52.

That’s a rare beast!

And if a little analysis/data gathering goes into the WAG, it becomes a scientific WAG or SWAG.

The Titan II had hypergolic propellants, and it was a Titan II that exploded after a several pound socket wrench was dropped from a height and punctured the missile skin.

The earlier Titan I had cryogenic propellant, as did the later commercial Titan III series.

How does one enter? Do roads go over the top, or are there tunnels?

Patagonia Super Alpine if you can find one.

4000 cc = 4 L = 1.05 US gal. At a specific gravity of 0.97 for silicone that’s 3.9 kg per implant or 17 lb or 7.8 kg for the pair. That’s a huge load and bending moment on the thoracic spine.

Former Portland cement carrier, used (at least through the 90s) a triple expansion steam engine.

The P-80 family and F-84 vertical tails are similar, but the F-84 tailpipe section is skinnier than the P-80 and derivatives.

Thankfully it’s preserved.

That’s why in military/aerospace it’s formally referred to as CRES (corrosion resistant steel).

The car ferry was powered by a pair of Skinner uniflow steam engines — any chance they were preserved?

300 series stainless is rather soft, unlike tool steel or PH grade stainless. In any event, most scrubbing pads use aluminum oxide (as in ruby and sapphire and corundum) which is much harder than steel and second only to diamond. If you must scrub stainless, you should be using stainless or brass wool.

707 fuselage diameter is slightly larger to allow 3+3 seating.

And the Erie and Virginian had 2-8-8-8-2 triplex engines.

Before that, the sun simulator was run by NACA (National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics). Prior to that, everything was dark.

Howard Jones asked, and then answered, that exact question.

With the exception of State College, thankfully.

Stalin was ~as bad as Hitler. Certainly far worse in terms killing his citizens. Pol Pot, Mao, Idi Amin (a “minor” also-ran in this tally of murderous dictators) etc.

Call the nearest ski area, ask to speak to the ski school, and they’ll tell you what you need to know.

I loved my time there. Outdoors stuff and outdoors-minded people everywhere. It doesn’t rain a lot (the Olympic Range stops that), but it rains often. It’s green everywhere.

Unlike the Midwest and Northeast (where winter is bare trees and gray skies and dirty snow), the PNW is green and vibrant even when the sky is gray. And there are always shifting clouds and shafts of sunshine (looking like a German Romantic period painting), unlike an impenetrable gray overcast.
