Elp, I amplified the image to take a closer look and discovered those stickers are birds. I believe they represent the number of birds the engine has ingested.

Wow, learn something new everyday

I didn’t think the FLCC would let you depart a jet from controlled flight (analog or digital) unless you MOD em like we do @ Eddy?

FWIW...(and I understand it wasn't a "real" jet, but...) we used to run a Deep Stall profile in the sim by adding an empty C/L bag and setting a fixed amount of internal gas, then shift the CG aft and have the stud snatch the stick full aft. We did nothin' to defeat any FLCS limiters.

With the right amount of gas in the right areas and with the jet in just the right area of the envelope I can see how a snap departure might happen....tho I agree it's indeed a rare occurance.

So if this is true, I wonder what Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee is going to say about it. "I think Venezuela is still a glorious country and we should lift our weapons sales band and supply them with F-16 parts and other necessary weaponry. I'm sure the missle they fired that shot down our F-16 was simply a mistake and their actions did have good intentions. Also, I believe that our relationship with Venezuela should fixed so we can help them also land men on Mars just like we did in 1969."


Too bad mortal stupidity isn't an impeachable offense

The eyes of Texas are upon yooooooooo!!!!
