Insurrectionist Cafe: Criminals & Karma Edition

J.J. and Quilter identify this as an English Electric RAF Lightning. I didn't know what it was. I just thought it looked Cool AF.


Update: Well, now people are disagreeing. Some say it's an Avro Vulcan Bomber, some say it's an F14, some say it's a MiG 21.

*BREAKING* Hope the Boss picks this up and headlines it.

This evening, at the end of their shift, over 100 nurses from Houston Methodist Hospital are walking off the job, rather than submit to said hospital's enforcing a MANDATORY vaccine policy for employees. Local "judge" refused to grant an injunction in answer to a lawsuit by the nurses.

11 TCM had the greatest movie ever the other day -- "High School Confidential". It's all about beboppin', car choppin' youth smokin' reefer and freakin' out the squares (L7). It has jive talkin' Russ Tamblin, Mamie van Doren* as his nympho aunt, and a cast of 30 year olds playing high school punks. Oh, and Jerry Lee Lewis and band sing the intro from atop a flatbed.
Are you pickin' up what I'm puttin' down?

Hands down best part was a young Gretchen Whitmer as a beat poetess reciting "Tomorrow is a Drag":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzywcEgjlhw

Tomorrow is a drag, pops, the future is a flake.

*the host described Mamie as "Marilyn Monroe as directed by John Waters".

It's not a MiG. And the engines (as the Lightning has two, one on top of the other), until after the training edge of the wing root (where the rear of the wing meets the fuselage).

The letter from the congressmen opposing them was so weak, so wimpy and inappropriately formally correct, that I didn't finish reading it.

If you support "sanctuary" lawlessness then by definition you are unfit for any public office, and cannot possibly take the oath of office required for the nominated positions in good faith. The letter should have been much, much, much harder hitting on this.

Enough of this courtly politesse with idiots, criminals, lawless nutcases, racists, and buffoons. They all will be confirmed and wreak destruction anyway, why be wimpy and polite?

121 The house where Mav had the talk with the senior officer and learned the truth about his dad in Vietnam is actually the Coast Guard light house area at the tip of Pt Loma. You can't go into the structure or on the property but you drive right by it when going down to the tidepools at Cabrillo Nat. Monument. Highly recommend that place anyway for anyone visiting.

Years ago at a place I volunteered some Euros came in, they were visiting the location of every exterior shot in Top Gun - which turned out to be a pretty good way to see a lot of the San Diego area.

Posted by: rhennigantx at June 07, 2021 07:16 PM (yrol0)

127 The EE Lightning carried its external fuel tanks on the TOP of the wing. I cannot think of any other aircraft that did this. It had to because the main landing gear bay extended across a good portion of the wing underside. The gear attach points were outboard of the fuselage by a couple of feet, and the landing gear struts had to be long to keep the deep fuselage belly (second engine) off the ground.

PS: I am also an military aviation fanatic.
PPS: I think the RAF and Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm have had the best looking aircraft camo schemes/colors since about 1941, when the fighter colors changed from green/brown to green/gray (as on the pictured Lightning).

146 The air going past the pilot is intake air so it isn't heated at all..The air going out the back is. The Lightning is one of those optimized designs for a purpose that has ceased to exist so it will probably always be the best at it..was intended to climb very fast and quickly intercept Soviet bombers heading for England. Didn't need range much. Kind of like the B-58 will always be the fastest high altitude gravity bomber cause they don't do that any more.

Look at the wing shape. That's characteristic of the Lightning, not a Mig 17, Mig 19 or Mig 21.

At first glance, it does look LIKE a Mig 21, but it is not.

A lot more Mig 21's built, but the Lightning was a vastly superior aircraft.

Plan accordingly. California has done nothing to improve its irrigation infrastructure (or any other infrastructure as non-idiots define it).

Shared in the Fauci-ism thread, hope folks don't mind if I share again:

The City of Long Beach is in trouble with a lot of people right now, because they just decided to go ahead and take over ownership-- and upkeep-- of the Queen Mary, which is rusting into a giant heap of dust at breakneck speed and was never properly maintained since being gutted and permanently docked in 1967.

It now looks like the old ship will require tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars in repair, just to keep it from not sinking in its own bathtub. Many residents are now saying, f- it, just tow it out, tear it up and turn it into a reef.

Not off thread. I survived a weekend at my region's black belt camp. This was my introduction to and first training event for my black belt in Tang Soo Do. It kicked my ass. Army basic training was definitely easier than this. The warrant officer entry course (basic training for Army Warrant Officers) may have been equal, the two were very close to physical and mental toughness and desire to finish. I'm muscle sore from my scalp to the blisters on my damned feet. But i'm happy I finished the training event. Next year I go back to the same event, because i want to test for BB with Smash so she gets to do this event too! We'll both test for our BB in Sep '22.

Seeing as how it's California, they'll try to tow it out to sea, but will sink it right in the middle of the channel. It will then cost a billion dollars to remove it. Unless someone finds that it now houses an endangered species of plankton, thus closing all of LA.

Let's think about how doctors stay up to date on what illnesses are going around, what new treatments are available, what the latest studies show about "best practices." I figure the most common way is to read some kind of professional newsletter.

This newsletter would contain information that is heavily dependent on "official" organizations like CDC, WHO, AMA, and the like. These are long-standing and "respectable" sources. But these organizations are heavily invested in promulgating the Wuhan Flu hoax.

That's why I think many health care professionals have been so out of touch with the science and treatments we laypersons have learned about.

349 An Avro Vulcan has four engines. A look at a nose-on F-14 will prove that it is manifestly not that. And while a MiG-21 does have a spike nose, it's most unlikely that it would ever have had that paint job: refer to pics of Warsaw Pact air forces.

I remember how the PA was telling me that "masks work" while she was writing a note for me to be excused from wearing one because I had gotten sick every single time I wore one for more than a few minutes.

She was a very "follow the rules" kind of person. She said my bacterial infection was not bacterial because 90% of the time respiratory infections are viral. So I had to treat myself with expired antibiotics that I already had on hand.

Actually the opposite. That they just reflexively believe you should get the shot, and aren't actually thinking.

And there is a world of difference between a flu shot and these Covid-19 vaccines. The former have been in use for years and years, safety profiles are well know (yes, there is a small probability of dying from a flu shot. Very tiny, but non-zero and it happens).

Claims as to safety and efficacy of these WuFlu vaccines are unknown. There hasn't been enough testing or time to make any conclusions on it.

As far as I could tell, hasn't been out of salt water since at least retirement. Steel ships don't do well sitting in salt water. I would imagine saving it would require a drydocking and nearly complete rebuilding of everything under the waterline. Apparently it has never really succeeded as a money making attraction, so I don't know where the zillions it is going to take to save it will come from. So if you have a thing for historic ocean liners and haven't seen it yet, I advise getting by it soon.

Used the HUGE pier to the southeast of the base at the edge of the shipyard and the drydocks. It's where they'd park any carrier that came in and whenever a ship came back from a 7th fleet cruise. (at the time that meant the Gulf of Tonkin doing SAR patrols chasing a carrier up and down on Yankee Station. ).

It was a huge Pier/dock. I think that's all changed from then from what I remember of a google map I saw once.

it is unsure whether other Dems might have a philosophical view of Newsom being torpedoed and maybe even one of them getting the nod. The recall is structured severely for him - a YES/NO on recall, then the scrum on who replaces him.

450 394 MiG-15's reporting name is "Fagot"
Posted by: Iron Mike Golf at June 07, 2021 08:28 PM (8C7+r)

I think they all had to start with F for 'fighter' i presume. Foxbat, Fagot, etc. Bombers started with B, Bear, Bison
Posted by: Oldcat at June 07, 2021 08:49 PM (eoQWY)


Yes. They have naming systems for lots of stuff. Aircraft: F=Fighter, B=Bomber, C=Civilian and Cargo, M=Misc (patrol, Airborne Early Warning, Trainers, etc). Also H=Helo (Hind, Hip, Helix, Havoc), A=Air to Air Missiles, K = Air to Ground Missiles, S = Ground to Ground Missiles, G = Surface to Air Missiles. Subs are odd and changed in the 80's.

The reporting names are often families of stuff and not a specific model or variant. So, the Spandrel has been around since 1974, covers 5 or more variants, and is still in service. See SMH for the list of Abrams variants.

451 I always thought the commies had way cooler jet IDs then us. Fulcrum, Fencer, Fogger, Flanker, Foxhound, Foxbat, Blackjack....

The NATO reporting name for the Mig 15 is 'Fagot' I shit you not. So maybe not that one.

The jet in the first pic is 100% an English electric lightning if it wasnt for the armament and British paint scheme it would look almost identicle to the Mig-21. Vulcans are bigger bombers and have a delta wing.

Posted by: KarlHungus at June 07, 2021 09:09 PM (JxKuA)

452 The NATO ID name for the Mig-21 is Fishbed. Yes, really.
Posted by: Gref at June 07, 2021 08:55 PM (AMIL/)


Because it starts with 'F' for "fighter". All the bombers start with 'B' (Bear, Badger, Blinder, Backfin, Backfire).

453 Look up any vids of interviews with Robin Olds on you-tube, one of the most baddest assed men ever to live. Responsible for operation bolo in Vietnam when we started fighting to actually win in the air. His ww2 accounts are crazy too. Him and his wingman in p-38s attacked 50+ messerschmidt bf 109s at once. Makes me depressed seeing what what we have now to compare... At least we will win the next trans/feelings/emotional war *facepalm*

454 MiG-21. There were a lot of attempts to up grade it into the 21at century, such as the Lancer upgrades by Israel and Romania. But you are limited by the size of the radar you can get into that nosecone. Which is why people stopped putting their air-intakes there.

Posted by: Michael Puttre at June 07, 2021 09:34 PM (/77uJ)

455 I'm wrong. It's an English Electric Lightening. Look at the trailing edges of the wings. Not a delta, like the MiG-21.
But the issue with the radar in the nosecone stands.

Posted by: Michael Puttre at June 07, 2021 09:43 PM (/77uJ)

456 That plane is most assuredly, 100% an English Electric Lightning.

Posted by: CraigD at June 07, 2021 09:54 PM (eqVps)

457 WTF? Folks need to work on aircraft IFF. Although a Lightening is a vintage aircraft, as are the MIG 21, Vulcan, and alas, the F 14.

Posted by: KungPow at June 07, 2021 09:59 PM (65VEA)

458 If the trailing edge of the wings and elevators below the centerline didn't tip you off, the British roundels on the wings should have. By the way, isn't Electric Lightning kinda redundant?

459 What do you suppose the press corps did with Kamala's transgender Muslim differently-abled baker of color supplied gluten-free sugar-free cookies? I assume they were saved for some sort of shrine back at the office. Or as an offering to the angry potato spirit haunting CNN. Was the poorly frosted face a Koran compliant non-depiction of their deity? Or social commentary on her pre election cosmetic surgery?

460 Re: "This evening, at the end of their shift, over 100 nurses from Houston Methodist Hospital are walking off the job, rather than submit to said hospital's enforcing a MANDATORY vaccine policy for employees."

OSHA briefly posted a notice that any company that required its employees to take the vaccine, would be liable for treating any adverse reactions as a "workplace related accident," and would be liable for the employee's treatment expenses.

The notice was soon taken down, as it went against the current administration's policies re: COVID. But a good lawyer could have fun, inquiring as to the rationale behind that initial determination.

461 Google image search has this image at the top of the thread as the cover illustration for Michael Napier's "In Cold War Skies - NATO and Soviet Air Power, 1949-89".

462 338 Here's a pretty good underside plan view of a Lightning in flight, showing the high degree of wing sweep. the bulge in the fuselage is to accommodate the second (lower) engine.

The bulge in the fuselage was to accommodate another 500-600 gallons of fuel, the early Lightnings could just about get to the Channel and back on internal fuel.

By the F.6 it had the guppy-belly, more fuel in the wing leading edges, and OVERWING drop tanks (anyone think of another plane that managed that?).

463 There's a review of Napier's book from the Daily Mail
https://tinyurl.com/cxvahk7uScroll down and the image is labeled as a "Lightning F6 of 5 Squadron".

465 apparently not

Posted by: BJ Clinton - Horndog Emeritus at June 07, 2021 11:09 PM (doAIC)

466 It's an English Electric Lightning, specifically an F.6 because of the kinked wing and the 80's paintjob. It should also have a big belly tank and cannons which you can't see.

I think it carried the same radar as the F.3 which was the first monopulse radar and had some interesting features for the time it was first fielded such as an ability to help a pilot navigate into a position based on whatever type of weapon he had selected and range to target.

467 Jeezus. It's NOT an F-14. Really looks like a MiG-21 Fishbed.

Posted by: SARDiver at June 08, 2021 12:12 AM (s0DTB)

468 That isn't an "English Electric Lightning".

It's a MiG-21.

Posted by: SARDiver at June 08, 2021 12:16 AM (s0DTB)

469 It is absolutely an English Electric Lightning. The missiles near the nose are a dead-cert give-away!
Anyone claiming it's "an Avro Vulcan Bomber, some say it's an F14, some say it's a MiG 21." are just yanking your chain.
A Tomcat? REALLY? LMFAO.

Posted by: 5cats at June 08, 2021 12:28 AM (hv5ip)

470 Lightning. Use to play with them in the 80's at RAF Binbrook- great guys, great jet (with about 20 minutes of fuel), it would take three flights or more of Lightnings to fill up a 1 hour training sortie with the F-15.Vulcan is a huge bomber-nopeF-14 has 2 intakes, two vertical stabs - not even closeMig 21 doesn't have a refuel probe (or British markings)


Posted by: Peep at June 08, 2021 01:52 AM (yLGyN)

471 It's a Lighting, 100%.

Posted by: JY at June 08, 2021 02:39 AM (7NCvj)

472 Lightning all the way. Wing planform of a MiG-21 is a pure delta, unlike the pic.

Posted by: Captain Ned at June 08, 2021 09:00 AM (XIfux)

473 It is a BAC Lightning.

Posted by: obsidian at June 08, 2021 11:01 AM (7+yqP)

474 Lightning
