Gah! I want my eggs to hatch!

I saw a video of a guy get sucked in on the Reagan once. Lucky man, his helmet got caught on the fins and kept him from getting whisked into the turbine.
Lol, it was part of a training video being shown to army recruits.

His helmet got caught on the ice probe, busted his ear drums and nearly sucked his eyes out before the compressor stalled and blew him out.

but that was a little engine....LOL

Big enough to tell me for sure I didn't want to be a mechanic on those things....ever.
If I had went Air Force I probably would have been drummed out for trying to turn an engine into an incubator.

I worked B-1's, those 4 would push half a million pounds supersonic, with ease.

Yea, that's some bigguns.

OK made me giggle, a bit off topic but back in the day we would start up these 4  30,000 pound thrust afterburning jet engines, and on a cool morning when
they spooled up it would make little fog tornadoes from the front of the intake curving down to the ground. the suction was so great that it would easily ingest a man that got within 5 feet ... well the point of this story is, in the summertime those little yellow butterflies would fly all around the low pressure zone, i mean right at the threshold, but I never saw one go in and get murdered. I have always wondered, "how did they know?"

yep, have heard my share of those three thousand pound engines here in centerville. Just curious QJ, why did you set the tree afire?

Only because I'm stupid.
The squirrels that were raiding my quail house were hiding inside the hollow tree...

I put a half cup of gas in there to fume them out...worked like a charm...

problem was, I was pretty close to the hole when they started coming out

I shot one, then came another, when I shot him the flash from the pistol, ignited the gas...

i threw a bucket of water on it and thought it was out....I was wrong.

the up side is the tree rats wont be hiding in there any more....

You telling the truth?
I bet there was a large amount of beer consumed and your buddy said "I know how to get rid of those squirrels, here, watch this!"

I don't drink, just imaging the ensuing chaos if I did...
