Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JPN: There have been a few incidents of stowaways trying to ride along on airline flights, by getting onto the ramp and crawling into a gearwell. Seems like a great plan, until the landing gear retracts into the gearwell. The engineers don't believe in leaving wasted space scattered around in the plane, so there's not much room for anything other than the landing gear. From the reports I have read, the crushed remains tend to fall out when the gear is extended for landing. I seem to remember reading of somebody successfully pulling off the gearwell stowaway trick during the early part of WW2, when people were being evacuated from areas that the Japanese were invading, but airliners flew a lot slower in those days, and different design philosophies were used in building them. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JPN: Originally Posted By Combat_Diver: Originally Posted By FALFOX: Yeah, I was saying today, it's not like the thing has rear-view mirrors. Who would think they would be dumb enough or desperate enough to climb onto the outside of the landing gear doors? Normal humans would at least understand that those doors were going to CLOSE. Crew probably just thought they were running alongside the plane, as many hundreds did. Believe I remember that happening during the withdrawl from VietNam where people tried climbing into the wheel wells of C5s.

I seem to remember a cuban kid pulling it off in the 1970s? Flew into Mexico iirc. The way I read it, he arrived with frostbite, was hypothermic and hypoxic. His friends that attempted it with him didn't make it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By XJ: Originally Posted By Scoobysmak: Humm I will find the article on it but looking you seem to be more accurate than my misguided search.... But along with another poster found this: The average human body needs from 1 to 3 days to become acclimatized to a change in altitude. People who do not spend enough time acclimatizing to a new altitude before progressing further have the highest risk of developing altitude sickness. This is where I might have gotten part of my info: The Death Zone Used to describe high danger altitude on the Mount Everest ascent, the "Death Zone" begins at about 8,000 meters or 26,246 feet 3. At this elevation, unassisted from compressed air or oxygen, severe altitude sickness sets in, debilitating the human body and eventually resulting in death 1. The low density of air at this altitude makes acclimation impossible. Cold temperatures and weather conditions at this altitude also affect the high mortality rate of climbers. I guess I figured death zone actually meant it for everyone. Dude, angels on a pinhead, not germane to the big picture. "The gat dayum germans gat nothing to do with it!"-Buford T. Justice |

We landed in Germany, and the SF LNO was an old friend I'd been through the Q with. He had us driven out in town to a little mom & pop restaurant, I swear it was the best food I'd ever had. They had home brewed beer and we put that shit away. We were driven to our quarters, which was pretty damn nice, and racked out for about four hrs. The LNO woke us up, and told us our flight was delayed four days, and that he wouldn't need his car. He handed off his keys for us. I'm not going to tell the rest of the story, but everything else we got into, we arrived in a 4 series with the hammer down. That was a good memory after a shit trip. |

Liver is Okay, but I prefer pork livers, which can be hard to find at times due to some obscure U.S. health regulations. For beef liver, soak it in milk for 12 hours or so, then do what you're going to do. Cook, dry dehydrate, etc. ETA: That dish Fantomas & I were discussing earlier is a liver dumpling dish.

Man I wish I had a big dish with Spätzle. @elcope I had a few Leberknödel already but no Spätzle yet I have gained a lot of weight - the food is just so good Since we're on the subject of Aghanistan, and Germany, I'll tell you one of my simple and underwhelming Germany stories. Years back, mid war timeframe, my ODA was leaving AFG in 1s and 2s, as the flights were pretty crowded. I had weapons and the sr c had property, so we were moving kind of slow. We split up, him on one flight and me on another, and by luck I was on a plane with a significant amount of cargo but only a few personnel. Only 4 of us. All the dudes on my flight were guys I'd known for a while, from a young dude on a team across the hall that I had helped mentor, to the CW4 that was a drinking buddy. We landed in Germany, and the SF LNO was an old friend I'd been through the Q with. He had us driven out in town to a little mom & pop restaurant, I swear it was the best food I'd ever had. They had home brewed beer and we put that shit away. We were driven to our quarters, which was pretty damn nice, and racked out for about four hrs. The LNO woke us up, and told us our flight was delayed four days, and that he wouldn't need his car. He handed off his keys for us. I'm not going to tell the rest of the story, but everything else we got into, we arrived in a 4 series with the hammer down. That was a good memory after a shit trip. that sounds like a fun time 4 days of drinking Coffee and Vodka in the morning  Attached File |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By elcope: Liver is Okay, but I prefer pork livers, which can be hard to find at times due to some obscure U.S. health regulations. For beef liver, soak it in milk for 12 hours or so, then do what you're going to do. Cook, dry dehydrate, etc. ETA: That dish Fantomas & I were discussing earlier is a liver dumpling dish. Fucking excellent. Tim McF, Z-man (who turned 60 in Afg and was essentially ejected from theater), T-man, though most of the SF guys I know are Warrants or commo guys. What was your specific MOS?

Link "The Taliban has placed security for the Afghan capital, Kabul, in the hands of senior members of the Haqqani Network, which has close ties with foreign jihadist groups including a long-standing association with al-Qaida. Western intelligence officials say the assignment is alarming and undercuts Taliban promises to tread a more moderate path than the movement did when it ruled the country from 1996 to 2001. It also raises the prospect of al-Qaida being welcomed back to Afghanistan, they fear, which would break promises made by Taliban leaders during diplomatic talks in Qatar with U.S. officials last year, not to allow the country to again become a safe haven for foreign jihadists." |

Don't worry, Biden required that underneath the stretchwrap on each pallet-o-cash there will be a note saying "Not for terrorists" |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Scoobysmak: Anyone that confirmed any of his nominations relating to the is BS is now being questioned in my mind. The Democratic party keeps doubling down on stupid at every turn, lies come out of the mouth because the video I see coming across my TV is not the same thing. We look like complete morons that you couldn't' trust with a potato gun much less a world power with nuclear weapons. I also wonder how many in the military were going to take the forced jab but not happy about it are saying fuck this now? My POTATOUS doesn't care to even save Americans and ignores intel measures and will get me killed (<--which after one command they doubled down on stupid the reason I got out). A good buddy of mine's son is in the Army in Saudi Arabia and was forced to take the jab - or, be stuck there indefinitely, w/no way home w/o proof of vaccination. Not to mention, receive a Court Martial. |
