    Very cool. Regional airport for horizontal T/O and LDG rocket powered spaceships. Wow.

    Without taking the piss, because what they are doing is amazing, I did laugh at the 3400ft altitude.

    That is most definitely sub orbital, barely get you out of the McKenzie basin.

    @machpants planes with powerful radars are associated with cancers? Next they'll be saying locating radars make you sterile. (Actually we already knew that).

    I'm reminded today that I live near RAAF Richmond here in NW Sydney as the local Globemaster Sqn do a bit of circuit work.

    Well designed engines - can barely hear them coming and then they're right on top of you!

    Saw this thread pop up on the front page, not sure I've ever posted in it.

    Is anyone else getting Gulfstream ads on Youtube? Do Gulfstream think someone is going to stumble on to one of their ads after watching a Forgotten Weapons episode and magically decide to drop multiple millions on a private jet?

    Although, I guess it makes a change from the constant ads for different Google products and people (grifters) trying to sell their financial advice all using the same moving hands style of speaking.

    This is the thing about modern aircraft that makes curfews in Sydney ridiculous. We're not flying 707s over your house anymore.

    Very quiet on approach. Fucking loud once it passes, tho for only a few seconds, really.

    I never managed a blast through there, sadly. There is a slightly crapper version in Scotland, which is still pretty awesome, sides aren’t as vertical though
