Great work agents! Originally shared by Lucio Coire Galibone (clide1) #ingress #ingressreport After one month of planning, operation "No one can compete" can start. More than 15 agents from the middle of Italy to make 7 fields over Abruzzo, Molise, little part of Umbria, Marche and Lazio reaching 663.634 MU for the resistance. At 21:00, our "Multitasking" Operator Valerio Ciurleo (Razorhack) from Rome starts the operation. All agents are in place. Luca Rosadi ( iperblastorm ), Pietro Passarini ( xpipa ) , Andrea Bravetti ( brand77tr ) e Dian Milkov NewStailer ( NewStailer ) reach from Fabriano and Perugia, agents Fabio Piccinini ( rd91 ) , Manuel Piccinini ( mammet94 ), Fabio Ricchiuti ( CellKurt ) and Claudia Carnicelli ( RedLeopard ) to make a diversionary action in L'Aquila, where Enlightned agents are very active.

What does it tell you about the world when an airplane is able to function for 50+ years, my desktop PC was able to function for 8, but an iPod dies after 2?
ReplyDeleteJust imagine, somewhere there is a man who flown in the same plane his father and grandfather flew in during three different wars which occurred decades apart.
What's wrong with them?
ReplyDeleteJust old and they finely have a replacement
ReplyDeleteShouldn't that mean the B-52's have to be replaced too? :P

ReplyDelete"OK - so 'SP' is where the bird is from and the big numbers are the tail number for the bird... what's with the little number?"
My supervisor looks up at the tail. "Oh. That's the year it was manufactured."
"Wow," I note with awe. "These birds are a year older than I am!"

(I also flew from Germany to Albuquerque in a KC-135 once. It makes you appreciate the creature comforts in commercial aircraft - like sound baffling).
I worked on those back in 2001 my favorite plane to work on
ReplyDeleteC-130's are way worse to fly in lol
ReplyDeleteThe end of an era. What have they replaced them with now?
ReplyDeleteKC 767
