@Foxwatchman@jumpsa4 What's the evidence for "lamentable safety record" ? Five hull losses since 2000, two of which were fatal, with four total deaths.
For a military aircraft that's pretty good, considering there have been around 50-60 fatalities in the military aviation fleet since 2000 /1
@olivetreedogs@ItsAndyRyan This is why I love learning stuff like this.
There’s the exact answer, and there’s saying to a mate “I’m going to see the Sistine Capel at The Vatican” rather than “at the Holy See” - the one is more frequently used and understood albeit it’s incorrect.
@ItsAndyRyan For me it depends on context. “A Vatican City spokesman …” versus “I’m going to see the Basilica at The Vatican”, whereas “I’m going to visit the Sagrada Família in Barcelona” …
@ListerLawrence One of the few times I’ve done in really sunny weather, not in traffic, was in Death Valley in a convertible.
Outside air temp 49 Celsius …
