It’s sad to say but I thought of it the other day that I was surprised they’re is never an accident as I see the planes flown in what appears to be in a reckless manner in comparison to commercial planes meow1612 |

FYI: In a previous post, there is mention of this reserve base being called a "JOINT BASE" = actually the official name is "Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base, Carswell Field (NAS Fort Worth JRB) "... It was on October 1, 1994 that it was transitioned from being the old CARSWELL AIR FORCE BASE (SAC) & home to WWII Bombers in earlier years. There was a Jimmy Stewart movie made about it in 1950's <"Strategic Air Command"> ... Many people in this part of Texas have worked over the past decades at this base & also at the accompanying "Consolidated Bomber Plant 4" >> it is located next door, now operated by Lockheed Martin & is home to manufacturing the F-16, the F-22 Raptor, & the F-35 Lightning II. The website below has an image of the runways at the base; image was taken in the past & it shows the southern shoreline of the actual lake (Lake Worth) at top of photo -- also gives an idea of how it runs along the northern side of the base with the runways positioned in a north-south alignment: [link to www.airplanes-online.com (secure)] The runways are shared with the manufacturing complex as had been the original intent during their first start-up with the Consolidated program in its inception during the 1940's.

ButyraceousBubba outrageously buttery User ID: 52536295 United States 09/19/2021 08:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If a competent person died because of equity in promoting an incompetent moran to a position where he/she failed to keep the plane in working mechanical order, that sucks. If it was carrying Haitians or Afghanis angry about us not giving them enough welfare fast enough, then...hey, stuff happens...my statements I'm sure at times seem cold, but I'm not obligated to help 7 billion become 9, then 12, then 9 again in the next 100 years. I want earth to be okay, and that absolutely won't happen as long as Western nations keep underwriting and caring for less capable people FAR past their natural, god-created, Malthusian bounds. Go woke, crash planes in TX...was the driver drunk? (I know, you don't drive a plane, but still...proximity to diversity and all) Timor quem habebitis mox non memoria tenebitur |
