as for the artillery. one of my favorite things to do when in the F/A was to stand a short distance behind the piece and watch the round travel downrange for a bit (a tiny receding black dot) until it disappeared. that was especially cool on direct fire exercises, as one could actually see the round slam into the target. cool stuff

Pilot OK, plane not OK; though nobody on the ground was injured. There are videos around both from the ground and an in-cockpit cam. IIRC the pilot misjudged the altitude (whether he set it wrong or what) to initiate a loop by about 50 feet. Scary shizznit.

Search the OT threads and you'll find when this was originally posted -- that thread contains a link to the videos.

Trying to get the hang of what you guys like. Is this still too rough?

Driving Test Question ...

You are driving along a 2-lane road w/a 'No Passing' sign posted. Then you come upon a bicycle rider.

Do you follow this slow moving bicycle rider for the next 2 miles, or do you break the law & pass?

You make the choice.

From the look of the curtains, it's the kid's room, not the rec room

Yep, look at the red plugs in the muzzles. Those are pellet guns
