Guess the WSJ was technically right when they just said an E-3 was damaged

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 45 points 6 days ago

This is a pretty simple repair. I could probably knock it out with some of those nail things they use on planes.

[-] ProgAimerGirl@hexbear.net 40 points 6 days ago

look, it's OK

says it right there

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 19 points 6 days ago

Yeah the tail is a little bit crooked in my schematic, but a smaller plane is innovative. That's fuel efficiency during the worst oil crisis since 1973 and a smaller target for the next $20k Iranian drone.

just wrap it in speed tape

I thought the military no longer had the right to repair stuff.

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 19 points 6 days ago

I'm not in the military. I'd be doing this as a contractor for $300m, buying the plane nails from my other contractor company for $299m.

[-] Dessa@hexbear.net 13 points 6 days ago

Never should.have contracted our planes out to John Deere

Holy shit those comments are vile. America needs to suffer

I wonder what the comments say-......actually on second thoughts not every curiosity needs to be sated.

[-] QuietCupcake@hexbear.net 26 points 6 days ago

I caved and let my curiosity have its way. And tbh the comments I'm reading aren't all that bad! Even a little smattering of good ones.

Just another accident yeah? Laundry fire or something similar?

I must have missed the ones Flyberius is referring to.

Going back further in the comment history, there are references to a bunch of US cope bots being there. The comments probably looked different around the time OP posted.

Mine are alright. Are you logged in?

[-] Flyberius@hexbear.net 10 points 5 days ago

No I don't use xitter

[-] Test_Tickles@hexbear.net 30 points 6 days ago

Quite the fucking image

[-] JustSo@hexbear.net 34 points 6 days ago

Maybe the first aircraft carrier Iran sinks won't be a boat bean-think

[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 31 points 6 days ago

OK

Are you though?

[-] Chana@hexbear.net 23 points 5 days ago

Sometimes planes just do that

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 20 points 6 days ago

it says it's ok right there on the tail shrug-outta-hecks

[-] Flyberius@hexbear.net 18 points 6 days ago

the Iranians hit the radar on the AWAC lmao

[-] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 9 points 5 days ago

the plane is OK

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 14 points 6 days ago

Comments full of burger cope

[-] Noodles4dinner@hexbear.net 6 points 5 days ago

You have to press the gas pedal to the floor and release BEFORE you start one of these or this happens.
