@badtanman yeah 2+2=5 really makes me want to turn off the album

@YUGE oh fuck

those pilots are like 10 million each

and the ship itself is way more than that

what could have happened that he crashed

these are literally the best pilots in the world

A pig. In a cage. On Antibiotics.

@Bill daily reminder that you invited me to the ovenmen and i turned you down

@Convo thank you for that

it's all yours my very good friend :^D

convo might have been *too good* of an oven man

>youcd

🤔

there's an apostrophe missing

@Convo yes, we have the best pilots in the world

so how did he crash

don't know yet

I suspect some sort of engine trouble

the only F16 mechanic i ever met was a 4' tall latinx mother

it was close to andrews

SINGLE mother

jets don't glixe

*glide

dont the pilots inspect the jets personally before takeoff

how often do crashes occur

I saw one jet crash once in a gore thread

yes they do, but it's impossible to check everything preflight

but it's not a common thing I'm sure

not enough to say common, but more than the public hears about it

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_accidents_and_incidents_involving_military_aircraft_(2000%E2%80%9309)

if the public doesn't see it, it didn't happen as far as the military is concerned

looks like around 15 a year

oh wait thats the entire world

yea

looks like 2 or 3 a year

huh

they fixed the V-22 so our incidents have gone down

well I mean if they lose a 10 million dollar jet but get a trillion in funding every year
