You’ll be doing your swim in no time then!

I’m quite sure that if I did a yoga class I would implode from boredom BUT HELL YES SWORD YOGA!!!1!1!!

100% would do sword yoga & wear a different armour each week.

You love to see it! Hope you both have a fun day & make loads of sales.

It also you’re right about their skills. The camera chopper pilot is clearly EXTREMELY experienced. And the charter pilots track really is incredibly consistent. I can tell you from experience that kind of consistency is hard.

The thing to remember with aviation is that you can achieve separation in 3 axes, not just two as for cars. Generally, the sightseeing flights are above the camera chopper. So they might look super close on a screen but actually be separated vertically by 1,000 feet.

I think we’ve all felt that pain. Mine was with homebrew beer. It was a right bitch to clean up.

Saving this posts to show to my son as he approaches an age where he can organise same.

You look like you’re having a blast Deb! 😁

Not to diminish from the fun in any way, but for those who may be wondering: the green one is the F1 camera helicopter, so it’s often turning hard to follow the cars on track. 10/10 job, desperately want it. The other is a sightseeing charter with nervous normies. 6/10 job, would still do it.

Oh Flying Spaghetti Monster how I sympathise with you. Been there. Many times. That shit HURTS.

I *think* I could limit myself to just 1 (Oscar, of course. Because I’m jingoistic πŸ˜…). But if I add just 1 more, it will then have to be the whole set.

If they do historical helmets as well then I could be selective, like Senna, Brabham. Would probably skip Schumacher.

Yeah… I know… =puts hands in pockets and kicks rocks=

I wonder what this means for the legitimacy of the FIFA Peace Prize?

Oh, fuck off… already? Wasn’t the Dipshit-in-chief boasting loudly & orangely just yesterday that they had β€œunlimited” munitions? These stable geniuses are an adversary’s wet dream - they’re incapable of maintaining a poker face.

Major β€œWe’re clean on OPSEC” in charge of the flea circus…

Wood burning stove business is big enough in the UK to earn the label β€˜industry’? And they have lobbyists?!?!?

Who’s the current monarch, Victoria?
Blimey.

But on a more serious note, burning wood when there are cleaner options can get in the bin for a variety of reasons.

Nice! They look heaps better painted.

Yes, effectively no more difficult than hardware upgrades you or I would do, or installing a software update/new program. (Depending on the complexity of existing software systems, of course).

Wouldn’t change how the jet operates, but tasking & targeting information fed to the jet would be.

Have to be. The forces produced by fighter jets will literally crush consumer-grade computer hardware. It would also break just from the environment: -50Β°C at altitude after baking at +50Β° parked on the tarmac is hell for electronics.

No chance a legacy Hornet has the processing capability to run AI, so they’d be looking at new bespoke hardware. And you can’t throw an Nvidia RTX5090 in your fighter coz it’d crush itself in the first turn.

Regarding time, IIRC our comparatively simple Hornet hack took years.

Now the Hornet has been around for decades it will be better understood & expertise more readily available, but still; shoehorning 2020’s tech into a 1970’s design won’t be easy even if you fully understand both.

Pfft, don’t apologise! You’ll tire of asking before I tire of answering on this subject! πŸ˜†

It’s hard coz the systems are entirely bespoke & necessarily hardened. For combat they have to be incredibly robust in terms of both hardware & software. So yeah, loads of research, expertise, & time.

Doubt it. Theoretically, if the Kuwaitis modified their jets the seppos wouldn’t know unless they were told (or spying). At least for Gen4 jets, which Hornets are. More data connected Gen5 jets like the F-35, maybe.

05.03.2026 01:48 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Yes, buts it’s hard. Like, REALLY hard. Our own gov’t hacked our Hornets just to unlock (I think targeting) performance that the seppos had dialled down for some reason. So even changing the settings to access an original feature required a nation-state level effort.

05.03.2026 01:43 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

I reckon pilots would fight the inclusion of AI cos if there’s one thing that pilots hate more than anything else, it’s not having control.

05.03.2026 01:36 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Fuck I hope not.

But also keep in mind these are β€˜legacy’ Hornets that went out of production decades ago. The tech has advanced SIGNIFICANTLY. The F-35 data management system puts some sci-fi to shame! It’s not necessarily AI, but the amount of data processing is huge.

Feel free to hit me up to interpret anything from that video if needed and wanted.

He says the Kuwaitis have β€œjahemex”: this is JHMCS (Joint Helmet Mounted Cuing System). It projects data directly onto the pilot’s visor so wherever they’re looking they can view critical information.

With JHMCS, just *looking* at the F-15s would clearly label them as friendly. 😬

People with real & many hours in the Hornet are straight up saying a deliberate act makes the most sense.
