WFFC 1 #26 June 9, 2004 QuoteIt's a US Navy T44A: Clicky! T44A doesn't really sound intimidating. It needs a real name like the other fun planes in the military like Raptor or Warthog. Those instill a little bit of fear... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tunaplanet 0 #27 June 9, 2004 B2 Bomber doesn't have an intimidating nick I am aware of (unless you count Spirit) and I would say it's pretty intimidating. Forty-two Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vertifly 0 #30 June 9, 2004 I had a feeling. I was in a Harrier squadron about 10 years ago and we saw bird-strikes all the time. It is difficult to see what kind of aircraft that is, but it would take a pretty HARD and FAST hit to cause damage that would look like that. For a second, the thought occured to me that this may have been an Ostrich, but the odds that this guy was doing a low flyby over a plain in Australia are slim-to-none.

A little bit of education from a drunk man here, since you thin ostriches are running wild in australia. (by the way - australia is the only place where camels run wild anywhere on earth) BUT.... OSTRICHES ARE FROM - AFRICA (SOUTHERN) EMUS ARE FROM - AUSTRALIA Ostriches are the biggest birds on earth, can weigh up to 450 pounds, can run up to 40mph, faster than YOU, and are the only birds that have ONLY TWO TOES. (they can kick the shit out of you too!, trust me) Emus on the other hand, are the second biggest birds on earth, but can only weigh a third as much. THey only have half the lifespan too. They dont nearly run as fast. BOTH are flightless. Ostriches are MUCH more impressive So now you know....dont let me catch you again! --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
