I just rewatched Die Another Day for the first time since I was a kid (when I watched it *a lot*) and I think the criticism is unfair. The only thing that jumps the shark is the invisible car, the rest is tonally in-line with all the other Bond films (and the torture at the start is actually quite brutal). It’s far more watchable than any Craig outing besides Casino Royale.

Bell is excited to introduce the MV-75 Cheyenne II, the @USArmy’s official name for the FLRAA weapon system.

Consistent with the Army tradition of naming aircraft after Native American tribes, The MV-75 is named after the Cheyenne Tribes: two federally recognized nations with the Northern Cheyenne Tribe in Montana and the Cheyenne & Arapaho Tribes in Oklahoma. Known for their unshakeable warrior spirit and resilience, it is an honor to carry the Cheyenne name.

The unique Boeing NT-43A on its way back to Edwards AFB after monitoring the Artemis II reentry. Even from this distance there’s no mistaking it!

[Britsky @TBrit90]

The RAF only ordered 3 E-7s, and they will sit in one grid square at an airbase with no air defence alongside the whole P-8 fleet.

@CowboyShepherd2 This is a very good lineup, but it’s going to have to be the Vulcan!

I think the only place in the US you could see all four of these is Castle Air Museum (also Duxford in the UK). Not many Vulcans and SR-71s paired up!

@MikeBales Maritime Museum of San Diego and do the Swift Boat tour! You get a bay-view of all the ships in the naval base and you can freely wander around HMS Surprise from Master and Commander.

@Beelzebugge @Doha1389960 Because pilots only used to be men cockpits were designed to fit the average man, so female pilots are less likely to be able to fly some aircraft (see table). No idea what that article was about though bc the F-35 accommodates like 97% of female pilots. https://t.co/tKXg6N7M6o

Operation Support Squadron 💪

It was great to catch this F-35 sporting a new tail at RAF Lakenheath, representing the @48FighterWing OSS.

The design includes an eagle on the tail, and the OSS shield front left 📸
