The Great Cats and Dogs on Aircraft Carriers Thread . . . with F-16 insanity!

[Pags]

I hate this one, and it's been circulating on facebook again. It's one of the "cursed three", along with "chem trails" and "UFOs" that have the capacity to make ordinary people suddenly know more than experts, and become immune to all forms of argument.

F-16s with chem trails. Odds are they landed on board an aircraft carrier to secretly load on the chemicals and then took off via a treadmill.

Maybe the internet is trolling you.

Exactly. Learned my lesson, and clearly the general public knows more than I do.

well at the end of that jag episode they showed the grainy footage of the C-130 landing on the carrier. Kinda like the episode where he pushed another F-14 by way of the tailhook with his canopy to get it over the water. I thought it was total BS until they said an Air Force bubba pushed another jet during Vietnam. Now i am NOT a jag fan just for some reason saw those two..........Catherine Bell rules!

Sure...next you guys are going to tell me that a Tomcat from VF-84 really didn't shoot down a Jap Zero back in 1941...er...1995....uh...whenever!

...the (apocryphal, I think) tale of the C-130 mechanic who launched his '68 Chevy (or whatever it was) into the side of a mountain while drag-racing with a JATO cargo-strapped to his roof...

That story is infamous enough the first myth tested in the pilot episode of Mythbusters was based on that, they even tested it again in two later episodes too.

But it is how the Nightrider crashes his car in the first Mad Max. Lucky for the producers and fans, they got it on the first shot.

Well, I happen to know that @mad dog did, in fact, save hundreds of lives with this trick!

More like three pots of Dunkin coffee.

Yeah, it's really expensive, but why the hell not? It will be worth it the first time some SWO gets their panties in a wad over it.
