When They Have Beef With Your Menu

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.
Slava Ukraini!

That is one MASSIVE aircraft! And I can't help but wonder what its crosswind limits are...
It looks to me like it could use a solid horizontal stabilizer, like a P-38 or F-82. Maybe the gap is for whatever parasite craft they are carrying.
Is the second cockpit just an empty shell or are there people in there with something to do?
