    Damn the stuff there developing for personal flight most look crazy and have a short flight duration but there getting the range and duration better and better the have a guy with a real hover board uses a mini turbine engine looks cool the another that looks like a plane on your back must be fairly fast as it was flying alone side some demonstrator jets looks like a flying wing design with four miniature jet turbines. And there's others a Russian hover cycle using drone technology. Still think it be a mess if people just start flying all over I can see the idiots not flying their supped up flyers crashing into buildings power lines light poles into each other, cause most people are plain stupid, lol, my friends grounded their daughter and took her car away because they found a video of her racing her car doing burn outs and other stuff, lol, damn kids are just so dum these days like why do they think they need to make videos to post on social media of them doing dumb and many times illegal things. Like those idiots that videoed themselves trashing a house they broke into or those really dumb idiots videoed themselves rapping a girl in their high school and the stupid police should have brought charges against the parents for letting minors have a party with booze and then like say they shouldn't put the boys in jail can't they just fine them and make them do public service like what messed up parents are they no wonder the stupid brats did what they did they probably were never taught proper behavior from their parents who didn't seem to give a hoot either. Anyway if we get those types of flying machines it will be like the hot rods and the rice rockets people will have to push the limits till the law really cracks down but by that time how many people will be dead or crippled.

    Lol, tried to contact the chieftain, read he was from England and now lives in Texas but couldn't find a direct contact info for him anybody out there know where to find it. They have something on world of tanks but set up for gamers asking gaming questions. I guess if I keep searching I'll find something more direct.
    I think it's funny when he explains how it's really hard to get his six foot frame into some of those tanks.

    Air Assault by proxy;



    A 14,000 pound UH-60A Black Hawk has successfully flown without a pilot in a historical flight around Fort Campbell, the first automated flight for the US Army. The unmanned flight was said to be completed within 30 minutes last February 5, with another flight conducted on February 7th.

    In partnership with the Department of Defense’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Sikorsky, the UH-60 Black Hawk was said to be retrofitted with the new flight system known as Aircrew Labor In-Cockpit Automation System (ALIAS), which flew the aircraft independently of any human intervention. The system is currently being tested on 14 different US Army aircraft.

    A friend is currently mapping the coast of Australia with an autonomous drone that never lands. The entire coast, all the way around. Took him a while to set up fueling stations, but he hit on using buses with the refueling station on the top. Driving crews stop only for fuel and beers. Oh, and maybe food.

    Did I mention he's very, very rich?

    Have our Aussie friends been getting lost ? You'd think they'd know where their coast is by now.

    Muster Dogs

    Five graziers from across Australia are given five Kelpie puppies from the same litter and set with the challenge of transforming these uniquely Australian dogs into champion muster dogs.

    He's American by birth. The drone is completely autonomous. It will survey the coast as a test run. It won't land until it returns to Darwin. (Of course he sent it counter-clockwise.) So far it's doing fine. Won't say where it is, of course, this run is under the radar so to speak.

    He did share the tracking signal frequencies with some air force or other. Is there one in that area?

    That's the one that popped into my head.

    I've always wondered where we'd be if the Scandinavians would have stayed instead of just visited ?

    Well that's a given !
    Norway and Sweden has to have the largest percentage of hotties versus so-so's.

    By the way,
    I'm following the six foot covid spacing rule/suggestion between me and She who Rules.

    The gal who starred in "Prometheus" made a really weird movie called "LAMB". If you're into Icelandic mythology or just flippin' weird shit, give it a look.

    The Dutch were good at finding places, but awful at keeping them…Australia was New Holland and New Zealand was named after Zeeland in the Netherlands…Obviously one moved on, one didn’t.
    Zeeland in red. Australia comes from the Latin Terra Australis…or Southern land.

    Trollhunter, (Norway) is another one that makes you wonder why you're watching. But you still want to see how it ends.
