Russia Panic: Introducing America's Cutting-Edge 6th Generation Fighter Jet
The United States defense industry is abuzz with excitement over the development of the country's sixth-generation fighter jet, known as the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program. In a recent video titled Russia Panic: This is America's 6th Generation Fighter Jet, experts and analysts discuss the cutting-edge technology and capabilities of this new aircraft. With Russia and other global rivals also working on their own advanced fighter jets, the NGAD program represents a crucial step in maintaining American air superiority. The video highlights the stealth features, advanced sensors, and weapons systems of the sixth-generation fighter, emphasizing its ability to outperform potential adversaries in air combat scenarios. As tensions continue to rise on the global stage, the development of the NGAD program and America's commitment to staying ahead of the competition are essential for ensuring national security and defense readiness.

They are below the equator and the whirlpool in the toilets spun the other way so they had to reengineer it
Marines prepare to board ship at Danang, Vietnam, in 1970 for trip back to the United States.
(long cruise home. I never knew we shuttled marines across the big pond. Took us 30 days to get to California from the Philippines. Maybe they were taking them to the Philippines to Clark AFB to fly home, at least I'd hope so after their year or more in Vietnam.)

OK, I dug a bit deeper on this one.

On 7 January 1967, John Steinbeck was at Pleiku, where he flew aboard a UH-1 Huey helicopter with D Troop, 1st Squadron, 10th Cavalry. He wrote the following about the helicopter pilots:
“I wish I could tell you about these pilots. They make me sick with envy. They ride their vehicles the way a man controls a fine, well-trained quarter horse. They weave along stream beds, rise like swallows to clear trees, they turn and twist and dip like swifts in the evening. I watch their hands and feet on the controls, the delicacy of the coordination reminds me of the sure and seeming slow hands of (Pablo) Casals on the cello. They are truly musicians’ hands and they play their controls like music and they dance them like ballerinas and they make me jealous because I want so much to do it. Remember your child night dream of perfect flight free and wonderful? It’s like that, and sadly I know I never can. My hands are too old and forgetful to take orders from the command center, which speaks of updrafts and side winds, of drift and shift, or ground fire indicated by a tiny puff or flash, or a hit and all these commands must be obeyed by the musicians hands instantly and automatically. I must take my longing out in admiration and the joy of seeing it. Sorry about that leak of ecstasy, Alicia, but I had to get it out or burst.”

What is the highest passenger capacity for a turboprop aircraft?
The last C-130 out of Saigon, at the end of the Vietnam War, left with 452 people on board. 32 of them in the cockpit.
Later it was determined that it took off about 10,000 pounds over the maximum gross weight for a C-130.
The plane survived and is now on display in Little Rock, Arkansas.
