Jump to postHeard this one yesterday (warning: not for Namby Pambys):
So, a guy enters the bar
The bartender looks up and says, "What'll you have?"
The guy says "I'll have a Bin Laden!"
The bartender says, "What's that?"
The guy says, "That's 2 shots and a splash of water!"

Jump to postI for one wish they would have carted OBL's body away and made it quietly disappear and not said a word about it. A quiet fade to obscurity and irrelevance is exactly what fanatical martyr types fear the most.

Jump to postI wonder who carried out the operation (Delta, DEVGRU/SEAL Team 6, Rangers)? Maybe a joint op with SAS?
Hopefully some details will trickle out.

Jump to postI never knew there were DC-10's with the "vertical-tape" engine instruments. I'm used to seeing those on the L-1011, not the DC-10.
Great classic footage.

However, like you say it's rather strong right-rudder, and right-rudder f...
Jump to postThe 01R approach at SFO is pretty tight for the heavy jets.
Has 1000 ft hills less than ~2 nm from the threshold.
San Francisco Bayfront Park should probably be on the list, although it's not in the same league as In 'N' Out Burger and those kind of places.
