Smoke boat (DBF) or nuc? The classes after 585 roll enough on the surface in bad weather to make Sinbad puke.

I refuse to believe she's a librarian.

Now THIS is a librarian...

And Walter Koenig. Chekov.

It's all for the Bester...

Simple enough...continental drift drives plate spreading at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

"Tear at perforation to open."

Well, so much for Jacque Strappe...

"It's a bug hunt, man!"

Just a furry, looking for love in all the wrong places...

Fort Courage?

Reminds me of what happened to SSN-711 USS San Francisco back in 2005 (collision with seamount).

Baba Yaga from “Father Frost”, a Russo-Finnish production from the early 60’s. MST3K/Rifftrax did a great take on it. :-)

Oh yeah, this is a face you can trust (Baba Yaga).

I searched YouTube for B-52s and all I got was videos of some dance band from Athens, Georgia.

Here comes a Narwhal!

Mr. Auric Goldfinger expressed an interest in said cube.

A bit of trivia about O2 environment in Mercury and Gemini capsules:

"While being interviewed for a NASA oral history project, astronaut Tom Stafford wisely noted that Gemini astronauts using an ejection seat would be immersed in the same 16 psi, pure oxygen environment that led to the Apollo 1 fire and took the lives of Gus Grissom, Roger Chaffe, and Ed White.

“We would have been two Roman candles shooting off into the sand and palmetto trees, because we were 15 or 16 psi, pure oxygen, soaking in that for an hour-and-a-half. It would have burned the suits” Stafford said. “Everything was soaked in oxygen. So thank God. That was another thing - NASA never tested it under the conditions that they would have had if they would have had to eject. They did have some tests at China Lake where they had a simulated mock-up of Gemini capsule, but what they did is fill it full of nitrogen. They didn't have it filled full of oxygen in the sled test they had.”

Air Force zoomers hate the job of direct Air Support.

Just to clarify, every A-10 driver I've spoken with just love that big ol' hawg and CAS. It's the fighter and bomber mafias which hates CAS and, by extension, the A-10.

My early scary movie was "Satan's Triangle" from 1975, with Doug McClure and Kim Novak. Weird move with Serling-like twist ending.

S5W was a great plant and proved very practical in multiple ship classes. An updated version would go down a treat for the Aussies.

Movie sign!
