A B-52 can land at almost 20 dergree face to a runway. and has landing gears that at one time were top secret because they can swivel below is a pic of the b52 prototype. and by the way in prototype the b-52 pilot and copilot were arranged like fighter pilots as the copilot sat behind the pilot. -

only thing i saw take of like a bat out of hell like that was the SR-71 i saw take off from Kadena Air Base in Okinawa. I saw one of the last flights of the Habu. right after the crash and before the retirement. it was near sunset and the flame out the back was long and when it was air born it went straight up. -

how about when the Russians after they got thier hands on B-29s that did emergancy landings in russia after a mission over japan. Stalin wanted to copy it so bad and the Engineers were so afraid to be accused of a screw up and get killed for it that they, even copied the patches over battle damage from previous missions. even though they knew what they were. -
i found some thing wierd and neat did you know the F-8 Crusader could fly with its wings folded "The Crusader had a unique characteristic unforeseen by its builders. It could fly with its wings folded! Although never deliberately tried, there are many accounts of accidental take-offs with a "shorter" wingspan. Luckily, with the large center-wing area, and control surfaces located inboard of the fold, most of these amazing flights ended with reasonably safe landings and very nervous pilots. "

buddhafabio replied to Majestic's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
most times a simple adt sign would keep the petty thieves out. a professional burgular said the pros do not want a confrontation. so if some one stumbled on the "at work" they just bolt. he said the druggies are the ones to worry about because they can and have killed to get thier fix. -

the b-29 story was funny they had exactly copied it even the patches covering the battle damage from previous missions. because the Russian engioneers were so scared that the higher ups said they screwed up because the outside of the copies did not match the original
