• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The sad part in viewing such a mechanical wonder if the USA even has the skills, machinery, and aptitude to turn out such a stunning product. Doubtful.

i think we have the engineers to design something as advanced to today's technology as that was to yesteryear's. but we don't have the facilities to mass produce things like we did back then.
some people might say things are "going to hell in a handcart". i disagree.
i think we've parked the cart, and are standing on the stoop.
 
Anyone who's seen the innards of a modern turbine engine would know we still have a few clever engineers and talented machinists left.
