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.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
In Martin Caidin's book, Test Pilots: Riding the Dragon, he covers a story of a pilot who had his jet (F-104?) nose over at full throttle. He ejected after it passed the vertical, at 770 mph. He didn't have a comfortable ride, but he lived, thanks to landing in water, within easy reach of a boat that had a trauma doctor on board.
ReplyDeleteHmmm! I guess it's only a matter of time until the first skydiver incinerates on re-entry.
ReplyDeleteSooner or later, we'll get to skydiving from orbit, as in the later Star Trek series.
ReplyDeleteThen there was Project Moose 45 years ago.
Okay, that MOOSE system kind of reminds me of a popcorn kernel.
ReplyDeleteNot in a good way.
A few years ago, my dad and I did a biplane ride at Sun N Fun. It was a hell of a good time with all that noise and wind.
ReplyDeleteBack on the ground, though, we got a fresh surprise. It turned out our red-faced, mustachioed pilot was none other than Joe Kittinger. His jump from 102,000 feet in 1960 took him to 90% of the sound barrier and is the record that Mr. Baumgartner is attempting to break.
Won't be the first skydiver to end up as a grease spot either.
