. Turned out it was all a rooos to scare the ruskies and make them spend time and money on it. We do that a lot, make them waste resources on stoopid crap.

Here's a hint: Some guy named Newton said if you push forward and backward, you don't move.

I believe modern propellers emit bubbles to mask/reduce cavitation

Do you ever tire of reinforcing your profound ignorance regarding every topic on which you choose to comment?

Higgins is Irish. About the furthest from a German surname possible. Higgins is an Irish family name with ancient royal connections. It is an anglicisation of O'hUigin, from the Irish word 'uiginn' meaning Viking.

Irish Surname - Higgins

We have a cool clan sweater, too. Actually, where I picked it up - on Aran Island - it's called a "jumper". Feel free to google that for clarification if it confuses you.

Sorry. My bad - I'll knock it off. Supposed to be a pictures thread.

Cool airplane. I did a little work helping to restore this one for use by Everett Community College in their airplane mechanic program.



These things had a horrible start to their commercial air service. The square windows were the root of the problem - multiple pressurization cycles started cracking the fuselages at the corners of the windows. Several suffered catastrophic failures as a result and went in, killing all on board. The oval windows on the one I worked on were the solution. Tragic story, really.
