@MichaelSteidel @bengol13 @MittensTrader @crazyhoodvids @greg16676935420 The wings make lift to make the plane fly. That means they ‘carry’ the rest of the plane weighing hundreds of tons by the attachment point at one end of the wing. The fuel in the wing weighs it down to stop them flexing up as much and makes it *less* likely to snap off.

@BBMF_Ernie93 @nazstreete Back in Dak? Sounds like an AC/DC song! 🤘🎸

@mraustin @scottiebateman What’s the wingspan of a buccaneer?

[Rob Kemplay @RobKemplay]

@scottyeders Guess we aren’t bothered about this then. Centreline hose only. Can’t use Boom Drogue Adapter (yet?)

from time to time I think about this post, which I think remains in the top 0.01% of everything I have ever read

It’s been *forever* since my last Physics Twitter Thread 😳.

But today I ran into a beautiful artistic physics demo in my hometown that inspired me to write a few lines.

I’m sure you’ve all seen these massive floating granite balls. How do they work?

AK47 Leading the charge at the C130 Farewell Hangar Bash on Friday

Was epic... and sounded awesome...

[Matty 🇺🇦 @Callsign_Kodak]

The combined emotions saying goodbye to the old girl

The countless stories of old

The friends and crews who we had worked and flown with

@IronMaiden & @TeamStatusQuo & AK47 driving the gig

We gave Fat Albert, just the best possible send off!!!

Sans Peur

[Rob Kemplay @RobKemplay]

So thank you everyone, thank you AK47, and thank you Albert. #c130 #47Squadron #SansPeur #BrizeNorton 5/5

[Rob Kemplay @RobKemplay]

Strange first actual tweet but the occasion seems fitting.Last night was an immense experience that was the summation of many years that have led to performing at easily the most heart-wrenching and surreal gig of my life. 1/5

[Rob Kemplay @RobKemplay]

Most of all it made me appreciate the ragtag group of guys (and girl) off the Squadron who dabble in music that somehow managed to earn the privilege of standing on a stage in front of the whole family at one of its most important moments. 4/5

@GM4AJK @scottiebateman Just to annoy you, mate 😂

@RAFPhotog @Callsign_Kodak @AirMobilityRAF What’s the policy on consistency with naming? 🤓 Atlas C1 & Hercules C4 vs A400M & C130J

@rids42 @AS332L Establishing why the Army wouldn’t be used for such an insurrection via the Socratic method seems to have failed. 😂

[Rob Kemplay @RobKemplay]

@rids42 @AS332L Why is it called the British Army and not the Royal Army?
