It’s so dumb it’s funny

Have you ever wondered why old people love to sit in the park and feed the birds? Well... I did and I found out. To watch the fireworks. (Birds explode when they are fed rice)

F-15s are deadly machines. I wouldn’t doubt their capabilities 😉

Who wins in a dogfight? Huey or F-16?

At first I thought this was a silly question because nothing can beat my F-16 at a dog fight (even if the F-15 claims to have done so #liar). But then I did some research (yes,I’m a nerd) and found that back in 1978 the Army and USAF conducted a study called J- Catch. They tested helicopters against the capabilities of fighter jets. “To the surprise of many involved in the program, the helicopters proved extremely dangerous to the fighters when they were properly employed, racking up a 5-to-1 kill ratio over the fighters when fighting at close ranges with guns”So while the idea of seeing an F-16 and a Huey in a dogfight seems preposterous, it’s actually a pretty interesting thought. Thank you for this question because I had fun learning something new :)
