Imagine the amazing globe trotting townhouse you could build inside of a B-52!
Yeah but you need 18000 feet of bullshit to land it, I wait patiently for my Sikorsky winnebago kit to come in the mail
The Marine Corps and Navy have already retired their H-53Ds and the big Es are on their way out. A lot more shoulder room in one of those compared to the H-34s.
Unfortunately, contrary to popular belief, military helicopters don’t actually run on kerosene or avgas
They run on snow-shovels of cash flung into the intakes as fast as you can manage
Being powered by three turbines the E chugs cash, but you do have a max of 15,000 available horsepower.
Does it come with the tan velour bell bottoms,visible at left?
Now thats-ah spicy meatball!
Should ever become rich, like fuck you money rich, I'm buying a PBY Catalina and turning it into an RV of sorts - not an original idea. There was a company out of Australia that was modernizing them. Not as roomy as a big bomber, but has a ruggedness and the go anywhere capabilites unique to flying boats. And I fucking love the look of the wings over the fuselage.
That sounds so cool. I've been jealous of Larry and Sergey (Google founders) ever since I read that they converted a 747 into a townhouse like 20 years ago. I know that's a super unpopular thing on this platform, but man, it would be such a dream to see the whole world, and be completely comfortable for all of the flights. You could offset the carbon footprint a little by bringing along all of your friends and family.
