the military base here has a pretty big air field, and across the highway there is a huge chunk of desert that is a military installment that has a dirt landing strip
[06:53:07]
Neo_Nemesis
When i used to live little further north from here on the other side of the installment I used to sit on my back porch and watch C130's doing flight drills, touch and go's on the dirt strip, dropping parachute crates and paratroopers. Sometimes flares.
[06:54:31]
Neo_Nemesis
when it would land or do a touch and go on the dirt strip it always made this enormous cloud of dust
[06:55:52]
Neo_Nemesis
and when taking off you would see it crusing down the runway, then turning around then you would hear the engines roar and, a huge cloud of dust and that huge C130 would just lift up like a leaf and take off.
[06:56:12]
fifel
Are they as pretty a plane as they look to me from videos?
[06:56:14]
Neo_Nemesis
(obviously running down the strip)
[06:56:23]
Neo_Nemesis
fifel they are way better in person
[06:56:31]
Neo_Nemesis
They used to fly right over my house
[06:56:55]
Neo_Nemesis
one day i was on the roof working and they were flying by so I waved at them
[06:57:13]
Neo_Nemesis
on their next pass they flew by so damn low it rattled the house and I could see the pilots waving at me
[06:57:32]
fifel
I think the plane I find sexiest is the Caribou. Really fucking brilliant design and fulfillment.
[06:57:47]
fifel
also its cockpit and airframe looks like the head of a penis and a penis.
[06:57:57]
Neo_Nemesis
idk there's a lot of sexy planes out there ._.

fifel
I’m into logistics though. Especially STOL / dirt.
[06:59:32]

The A10 Warthog is ugly as fuck. And he’s going to slap your face with that ordinance from close in. Like fucking someone from a biker bar while you’re wearing a minidress unshaved

[07:02:27]

but maybe because that was the first military type air plane I ever got to sit in as a kid
[07:03:04]
Neo_Nemesis
and I also got to crawl around in a black hawk helicopter at that show too lol
[07:03:36]

The F-111 is, hmm. Well let’s leave development aside for a moment and talk about the fact that if you crawl around in his guts you get a toxic disease that will kill you.
[07:03:46]

Servicing an F-111 was getting pozzed.

That is still huge though. People are bad with the scale of big things.
[07:07:18]
Neo_Nemesis
oh man they are huge even the smaller single/double pilot ones
[07:08:05]
fifel
“Oh its classified as a fighter, it must be small.” Yeah.
[07:08:57]
fifel
I was thinking of stuff like naval interdictors, or F-111 interdictor concepts, which are technically “fighters” for the public’s conception.
[07:09:28]
fifel
Given that “bomber” covers strategic roles, not attack roles in the public’s mind, vide: F-117
[07:10:17]

don't worry, today's germans rather study ecomonics and end up becoming educated idiots whose technical expertise ends with restarting whatever device is not working

Soviet gigantism is a bit of a meme though, their AFV design trajectory was to teeny bois

A lot of soviet aircraft were based off stolen data from other countries

This is true, and it isn’t a bad thing.

Think of it as opensourcing in a hostile work environment ;)
[07:26:08]
Neo_Nemesis
not at all, they made almost and identical plane to the Boeing B-52
[07:27:23]
Neo_Nemesis
only thing they did differently was used prop engines on the soviet Tupolev Tu-95 where the B-52 stratofortress had jet engines
[07:27:31]
fifel
The Tu-4 was an exact copy, down to their sample examples’ non-conformances.

[07:28:37]
Neo_Nemesis
nah the Tu-4 was a exact copy of a B-29
[07:28:56]
Neo_Nemesis
B-29 was the plane that dropped the bombs in WWII
[07:29:34]
fifel
Oh those bombs, as opposed to the other bombs on Germany, yeah. But there were other bombers prior to the B-52, that weren’t as useful long term.
[07:29:50]
Neo_Nemesis
well they also did bombing runs in Germany as well, but non-nuclear.
[07:30:38]
Neo_Nemesis
fifel: yea there were, but the B-52 was the main staple after the B-29
[07:31:02]
Neo_Nemesis
and is still in use I believe today
[07:31:15]
fifel
The B-29 was a bastard to operate though, it was stretching the capacity of the time. The B-52 was mature and matured further.
[07:31:38]
Neo_Nemesis
oh yea the B-29s were a death trap at best
[07:31:59]
Neo_Nemesis
especially if you were one of the gunners, I've found
[07:32:44]
Neo_Nemesis
I mean they can be flown safely, but in the midst of battle with the particular issues they had during the war with their cover strategies
[07:33:05]
fifel
If you’re interested in strategic bombardment, I strongly commend the history of the US strategic bombardment of Korea. Korea *perfected* what was haphazard in Japan.
[07:33:21]
Neo_Nemesis
it wasnt until the latter part of the war that they have figured out their cvoer strategies and thats what made the B-29 formiddable.
[07:33:47]
fifel
US strategic airwarfare in Korea deindustrialised one of the most industrialised economies in the era with abhorrent perfection.

our air force has always been one of the top dogs, tho Japan was a mess in WWII for airwarfare
[07:34:37]
fifel
I’m not going to call it a war-crime, because it was legal at the time, but histories of state abhorrence recognise just how perfect the work done there was.
[07:34:42]
PapaFrog
The B-25s dropped bombs on Japan as well.
[07:35:19]
fifel
One of the problems with Japan’s collapse is that the USN has a lot of responsibility for that economic warfare. US submarines were left with nothing to sink.
[07:35:23]
Neo_Nemesis
PapaFrog: Indeed, but the nukes were dropped by the B-29s
[07:36:02]
fifel
Apparently there’s a story that in 1944/1945 a junior staff officer asked, “Why are we debating invading versus atomic bombardment? Why don’t we starve them out with the USN?” And every other service turned their gaze upon him with a look of utter contempt because they wanted to play with their toys too.
[07:37:08]
Neo_Nemesis
Paul Tibbits, pilot of the B-29 Enola Gay was Hiroshima, Charles Sweeney, pilot of the B-29 Bockscar was Nagasaki
[07:37:29]
fifel
The USN could have obliterated society in Japan across 1945-1947 without bombardment, and with fewer US lives would have been lost than in Olympic/Coronet/Downfall
[07:37:55]
Neo_Nemesis
well they also didnt know what the bomb would actually do either
[07:38:35]
Neo_Nemesis
The first bomb was only the second one the US had ever detonated
[07:38:56]
Neo_Nemesis
The first being of course The Manhattan project, which also used a B-29
[07:40:18]
Neo_Nemesis
which kind of a reckless thing to do, but the B-29 is really what solidified the US air power in WWII, but as for Japan, the Zero was a formidable fighter

Neo_Nemesis: Did you know that Dresden was *planned* as a war-crime but accidentally wasn’t?

fifel
being a historian is into weird quirks like that.
[07:43:15]
Neo_Nemesis
or the Datsun air planes, well it wasn't really Datsun at the time it was Nakajima Aircraft Company
[07:43:22]
fifel
So Arthur Harris (who was shunned after the war by being insufficiently awarded and by Bomber Command not being awarded equivalent unit recognitions compared to other comparable units), planned Dresden as an attack on a civil population by air.
[07:43:28]
Neo_Nemesis
but they became Datsun, which is now Nissan/Infiniti
[07:44:06]
fifel
Attacking a civil population by aerial bombardment was recognised as a war crime, even though NSDAP Germany had left the conventions of war by violating them. The UK and US were still bound.
[07:44:47]
fifel
However, Hitler had declared Dresden a “feistung” or fortress. Fortresses under siege in law-of-war *do not have civil populations*. Every non-allied POW who died in Dresden died as a combatant under law of war.

Also stop rationalizing the carpetbombing of cities without any factories or troop deployments
[08:06:38]
fifel
h4: I’m not rationalising it, I’m talking about the history of the law of war at the time. “War-crime” is a specific accusation. Abhorrence is a moral category.
[08:07:00]
h4
Also what's a 'non-allied POW in Dresden 1944'?
[08:07:41]
fifel
h4: They’re not “enemy-combatants” because they’re Allied POWs. They’re the only category of non-combatant in a fortress.
[08:08:04]
h4
Whose POW's are they?
[08:08:08]
fifel
Vonnegut, for example.
[08:08:41]
fifel
h4: People who are combatants from Allied countries, currently held by the German state, in Dresden.
[08:09:02]
h4
How are they 'non-allied' then?
[08:09:48]
fifel
Should I use bracketing to help you? All people who were not (Allied POWS, being people who fight for the allies held as POWs by Germany) in Dresden died as combatants.
[08:10:48]
h4
Still does not tell me what a 'non-allied POW in Dresden 1944' is
[08:11:12]
h4
They had pow camps in central dresden?
[08:11:40]

So the allies bombed their own?

Guess friendly fire has a long tradition with you guys

Kurt Vonnegut was in the US Army, was captured, held in Dresden, and saw the firestorm, later he wrote a novel attacking the abhorrence of firebombing Dresden called Slaughterhouse five.
