Once you understand how helicopters work.
And the cleverness of the swashplate.
And how steering linkages elegantly compensate for gyroscopic precession.
And how the rotors will autorotate in an emergency.
You never want to get into one of those flying bolt buckets again.
There will never be another opportunity like this. A new engine formula in 2028 is the perfect moment for Indycar to give the fans and the drivers what they want. V8, 1000+hp, 15,000rpm+, sustainable fuel. This is the moment. It isn’t too late to change path.
A key lesson for civilians to take away from this.
Search and rescue, MEDEVAC pilots, really any job that goes in with the specific task of saving other warfighters.
They will fly into actual hell to save you unless someone orders them not to.
And they still might go anyway.
@Jeff_Bluck @joemcdannald19 I understand your argument but the analogy doesn’t quite work when you have college basketball players going straight to the NFL without ever playing a down of football in their life
I’m an older millennial. We had a pretty great run.
We grew up with actual childhoods before everything moved online, but we still got the internet early enough to understand it before it took over everything. We had landlines, AIM, mall culture, good music, and just enough technology to make life fun without making it weird.
Old enough to remember life before smartphones. Young enough to adapt to all of it.
That was a sweet spot.
One of the perks of having young kids is not having to explain too much about what’s going on in the world. I know that will end soon, but I’m going to enjoy it for as long as I can.
"Having kids means you will do anything to ensure that they live and are happy, for you love them more than your own life a thousand times over."

@Kenny_Wallace@NASCAR How do you argue that sport cars don’t look anything like road cars? They’re literally converted road cars…the only way this makes sense is if you looked at the article and saw a prototype and completely ignored the other half of the field (GTD & GTD Pro)
