PFunk1606688187 Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 The reloading Dragon is powered by the A-10's own hydraulics? Thats a stroke of genius. It really is the best airplane for flying as near as you can get to the FLET. Warning: Nothing I say is automatically correct, even if I think it is.
Scrim Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Never realized just how huge that cannon is. Or the part about how they have to keep the empty shell casings aboard as they serve as ballast :D

OutOnTheOP Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Never realized just how huge that cannon is. Or the part about how they have to keep the empty shell casings aboard as they serve as ballast :D You wouldn't want to eject them overboard anyway- that's a quarter pound of very unaerodynamic metal just waiting to strike some fragile bit of airframe on the way out.
Scrim Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Yeah, suppose so. Other Teen jets don't eject their empty shell casings either, do they?
Vampyre Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Yeah, suppose so. Other Teen jets don't eject their empty shell casings either, do they? No, they don't. Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills. If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck! "If at first you don't succeed, Carrier Landings are not for you!"
