A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

A few years ago, I had to drive through Delaware, past Dover. I didn't think much about it until I heard that noise and saw one of these taking off. I nearly drove off the road. I had to pull over and ogle. I'm sure the locals thought I was nuts.
They used to fly them out of Travis on training flights, and they'd come over the hills into the East Bay flying low and slow, and it was really hard to tell whether they were as big as they looked because you don't normally see something that huge flying low and slow, but they looked gigantic.

A plane that big messes with your sense of speed. They have been based at Stedwart/Newburg NY.....you see them in the sky and they seem to move so slow that you think they're going to fall out of the sky....or are maybe some weird-ass blimp
When I worked in Springfield MA I watched them do touch and go's from Westover and several times while outside I watched them float overhead as they went around and thought that, yes, I can run that fast. Never did try.
That slow-flight illusion has been referred to as the 747 effect.
