UK here. Average Diesel prices around me are 1.80 £/l, which is 8.80 $/gal for you guys. Cost me nearly £80 to fill my car the other day, so thanks for that.

I’ve maintained both of these, while the C17 is pretty cool, the C130 will always have a special place in my heart.

I’m not a big reader, I struggle with the focus and keeping interest due to my ADHD.

But of the few books I have read, I did manage to finish the Dark Tower series by Stephen King.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, found them captivating and easy to read.

He’s called “Wally” in the UK, I’ve never known why he’s called Waldo over there.

I worked C-130s for 16 years, this does not look like the back end of a C-130.

It is! Doesn’t do it justice with the naked eye though. I have seen the stars this bright since my times in the desert.

Aircraft engineer here, our higher ups once approved a ‘one-flight-only’ temporary repair to birdstrike damage on a wing, consisting of sheet aluminium contoured to the wing aerofoil and about £1000 worth of speed tape. Worked a treat and aircraft got home safely.

That’s a shame. May still give it a go anyway though.

I’ve never watched it before, was purely out of curiosity due to all the references on here. Think I will be sharing it with my children
