Sick bastards, eh? Since it is obvious they are all hoaxers, in my mind I write it off as a form of mental illness that some people have (recall?) wherein they need to convince other people that bad things are about to happen to them. Some people (recall?) may justify this in their own minds because they have some bone to pick with the government of a certain, benevolent democracy in the western hemisphere.
Wouldn't it be high irony if any/all of these wacked-out TT hoaxers predicting doom for everyone actually met an untimely end of their own, as a result of some factor of their own stupidity?

Oh that's a good one. The first pic is from the movie Stealth (very weak plot in the movie). If you want to believe that airplane is real, go right ahead. But I can tell you it is not. And if you think it is the fabled "Aurora" I will laugh even harder.
The second pic is "Spyder", or PAV-2, the second F-23 manufactured by Northrop-Grumman for the air dominance fighter competition in the 90s. It is not a black project...never was, actually. But it is a lot more stunning than the F-22, huh? And more capable. The wrong airplane won.
In fact, as noted here, I walk right by PAV-2 every day at work. It is parked between the two buildings I work in. It is a reminder that we are one of the world's best aircraft manufacturers.
Believe whatever you wish...but as usual you are clueless.

Beautiful pics ^^
What stops the wings from being angled more towards the cockpit? Is that simply preference for the visual, or is there a different consideration? (I noticed that more with the stealth versions of aircraft).

Now it is time to turn the "I need a visual" thing back around on you! /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif I need a better explanation of what you mean by "angled more towards the cockpit". Angled in what way?
In general, the sweep angle of the leading edge of an aircraft is dictated by how fast you want it to fly. If you want it to fly supersonic (like the F-23 was designed for), then this is what causes the very large sweep angles. It relates to the strength of the shock wave. Sweeping the wings reduces the component of air velocity that is approaching the leading edge of the wing straight-on. For high subsonic airplanes (like commercial aircraft), the wing sweep is much lower than supersonic...usually around 25 degrees.
It's all about maximizing the aerodynamic efficiency and minimizing drag. And then there are forward swept wings... they result in an inherently unstable airplane. Research the X-29 and you will see a forward-swept wing that actually flew!

Well it does seem like it is a trend for the ones that claim they left their timeline and came to our own. But for the ones just looking at how time travel would be possible or trying to build a time machine you don,t usually hear any gloom and doom.

Actually there is no proof he is the antichrist. He has destroyed no worlds as of yet. What ever he has ruined is just a matter of opinion depending on what side of the train tracks you live on. And a vote for him does not make us any closer to world war 3. In fact he is a great deal more passive than Bush. If there are any wars he would not be the one to start them.
History is filled with leaders way more terrible than Obama. Hitler, a host of communist and Asia leaders. A quick google search would show you them. Bush could be up there in the Arab world in the future. It is widley believed he is a murder. The only thing Obama has done is upset the white ruling and wealthy class of people. The rest of America is not that worried about it. On the health issue they say that is too expensive but so is the fact that most bankruptcies are cause by people not having health insurance. A lot of folks would rather the Rich suffer a little than they loose a home over not being able to pay for health care. Yes, he is a thorny topic around the coffee table now days. Many of folk of different races debate about him at work and other places. I for one and glad Palin did not make it into office. She can,t run a state what would she do if she got into the white house? She may try again.

No wonder you screwed up--McLane was not a candidate in the election (I assume you are speaking about Shirley???)
Neither was Osama (bin laden). Turn in the key to your time machine, you're grounded. /ttiforum/images/graemlins/mad.gif

'If' I had to use my imagination in a very fictional sense, and imagine the entity of whom you speak - once again, on a fictional basis, we'd have to explore the world stage.
Such a topic of historical importance, and the limits of discussion are contained to North America?
Quite entertaining, but limited.
If you, or one wanted to explore a true novel pursuit of such a historical character, portrayed in many different ways - one would conclude you must satisfy the majority of shared prerequisites, as well past events to substantiate such a claim.
I can well say that your speculation on the President above is not only invalid, but lacks to fit any 'hypothetical'/fictional criteria.
I could as well, using a set of 'fictional criteria' imagine whom from the world leaders most fits this illusive notorious role, and the closest has nothing to do with the above named leader of America. Whom would I guess? All I'd say is not a NATO force for sure even in the fictional sense of logical deduction.
Whom would I say? Not telling ya
^^Not like it matters anyway. When did a fictional hypothetical question ever hold any real relevance to anything?
PS
I'm not trying to sound like I'm devaluing any theological reference at all. In terms of the word 'fictional' - it is a reference to the common misplaced representation of we, the common person, sometimes painting a picture of something much more complex. I just don't think it's healthy for the average person, me included, to focus or speculate on such things day to day.
We can leave that to the experts.
