I love the dude in the car who drives into the intersection, pauses as if to say to himself "Hmmm. Jet just crashed into that building. Oh well, I'd better get to work or my boss is going to be pissed," and then just drives away.

Here's to you, Mr. Not-impressed-by-a-plane-crash-guy. Your stoicism is amazing.

You were in a 4g inverted dive?
Yes, ma'am.
At what range?
Um, about two meters. It was actually about one and a half I think. It was one and a half. I've got a great picture of it, and he's right there, must be one and a half.
Eh, lieutenant, what were you doing there?
Showing my RIO my new TV I got for my birthday, you can see it through the window

Was the pilot trying to moon the camera?

I never thought that it would be so clear, what with all the trolls and half-wits that do pop in from time to time, that the dumbest person on Fark would be so easy to spot.

For the record, I'm saying that Obamadidcoke is the dumbest person on Fark. At this point, I'm flummoxed by someone being so incredibly stupid.

Totaly not related:

Was playing an older flight sim. Jane's ATF or the like.
I wanted to see what would happen if I flew 50ft AGL, inverted, and then ejected.

My pilot did not survive.

obamadidcoke: They should be put in jail for ejecting and leaving the jet to crash in a populated area.

OBAMA Was flying this aircraft but that's been covered up. And he's going to fly this country right in to the ground just like he did that F-17 Strike Eagle.

So we have more video of this, than the jumbo who supposedly crashed into the pentagon with it's 50 or 70 surrounding cameras.

Thats an F-14

BS. That's a F-15. But a brontosaurus is flying.

It is a cartoon jet, with aspects of both:
Parallel intakes (F-15) (F-14 are canted)
Tails directly on the engine pod (F-14) (F-15 tails are outboard of the engines)

/this discussion has been here before

Damn you and well done, etc.

It's an F-145.

YouPeopleAreCrazy: ows: prematurely yes, which in this case is good.

prematurely? No. That is what one would call, "the last possible moment before I die a fiery death."

And people say that romance is dead.

fappomatic: As heavily populated as the area is, there have been very few incidents at Oceana that were a threat to residents.

I thought we were at war with Oceana....or is it Eastasia?
