Fun article

This fun little article appeared on Cracked.com today.

http://www.cracked.com/article_19330_8- ... t-air.html

If you don't mind the extremely casual writing style and the occasional use of swear words, this is a pretty entertaining article and it gives you things to look up if you want more information.

P.S. keep in kind, they are a humor site, not an aviation site. ;)

Very cool. :)

I had completely forgotten about the XFV-1 Pogo. I had a Revel model of one when I was a kid. I would love to add that to my FSX hangar.

I found one for FS2000, but alas, I doubt it would work in FSX without a vast rework.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
