[cathartes-aura-shitposting]

was once again after some research and references when i came across this size comparison of different aircraft used by the USAF. actually a pretty helpful guide for somebody drawing ekinets of different sizes.

oh, and also if you want more, there's this page for aircraft size comparison charts.

B-52 Stratofortress. 70,000 lbs payload (about 23 average cars) for weapons of choice, including nukes. Fighters win fights, Bombers win wars.

"The second free-flight test of an evolving series of X-38 prototypes took place July 10, 2001 when the X-38 was released from NASA's B-52 mothership over the Edwards Air Force Base range in California's Mojave Desert. Shortly after the photo was taken, a sequenced deployment of a drogue parachute followed by a large parafoil fabric wing slowed the X-38 to enable it to land safely on Rogers Dry Lake at Edwards. NASA engineers from the Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards, and the Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas, are developing a 'lifeboat' for the International Space Station based on X-38 research."

Date: July 10, 2001

I retired from the United States Air Force 2 years ago today, and now many of my friends are being deployed to the Middle East on B-52's to deter Iran. Please wish them luck 🙏
