Not sure why you didn’t put it on the airport between the runways

Edwards has some really long runways, so they may have gotten airborne for some time before coming back down and crashing on the runway. I read somewhere that this was a test flight to evaluate a new or upgraded engine so that may have been the problem.

Ground Operations, Taxi and Takeoff Planes don't just magically show up at the end of runways ready to go. They must be inspected, forms reviewed, started, systems checked, routes verified, and weapon's profiles and programing verified. Recall, our conventional 20 x JASSM configuration. OEW - 185,000 pounds 12 Ext JASSM - 49,400 pounds 8 Int JASSM - 24,800 pounds Weight before fuel - 259,200 pounds Fuel for Max Gross Weight - 228,800 pounds Gross Weight - 488,000 pounds Typically, with bombers you step 60-90 minutes prior to takeoff and start engines 45-60 minutes prior to takeoff. Combat missions would follow the longer timeline. So, 60 minutes of 65% thrust setting is a good stand in for idle thrust with some elevated settings for starts and checks. The chart gives us a fuel burn of 103 pounds per minute which gives us 6,200 pounds for ground operations and taxi (60 x 103 = 6,180). Yes, the jet burns three tons of fuel an hour sitting at idle. Throw in an extra 1,000 pound for taxi. So, an initial fuel load of 236,000 pounds yields a ramp weight of 495,200 pounds which is safely below the max ramp weight of 500,000 pounds. Ground operations and taxi burned 7,200 pounds and puts us on the runway with exactly a 488,000-pound max gross weight takeoff. Barksdale is essentially a flat runway (two-foot difference between the ends). The second chart yields a fuel burn from brake release to best climb speed of 3,600 pounds. Between ground operations, taxi and takeoff we've burned 10,800 pounds of fuel. That's an F-16's worth of internal fuel and two 370-gallon externals. The BUFF starts the climb with 224,200 pounds of fuel for the mission at a gross weight of 484,400 pounds. Next installment climb. If you like this content, please RT, bookmark, comment or quote. The more of these the more love algorithm gives to my content.
Who's up for computing the range and fuel use for the conventional JASSM case? Global Strike mission originating from Barksdale with a payload of 20 JASSMs. Aircraft will be gross weight at takeoff roll initiation, all conditions for a standard day. Next installment ground operations, taxi, and takeoff.

Stepping into confidence, one heel at a time. Elegance meets attitude with every stride, turning sidewalks into runways and moments into memories. High heels, higher standards, unstoppable energy

I still don't understand why NMIA is not planned have 3-4 runways? 🤔 Same old story of infrastructure bottleneck 😡

Runways feel like TikTok theater this season. #FashionWeek
Imagine being so dense and delusional as to believe that a few temporary banners with no noise or virality is in any iteration more significant than walking and LEADING the runways for the biggest fashion week shows of the biggest luxury brand in the world TWICE.

Even before the war, Russian Military flying was dangerous. Very Old aircraft, poorly maintained and unreliable engines. Russian runways have rabbit habitat with grass growing on the runway

The final deal should ensure Iran wont balk because Israel demands unrealistic things and because Israel continues its ethnic cleansing. If Israel endangers this MOU in ANY way we must bomb its military runways so it cant project terror and screw a ceasefire.

I actually think we should just bomb Israeli air bases so they cant project terror. Take out the runways.

@geraldposner I've posted for months that We failed to bomb: 1) Caspian Sea ports receiving Russian ships; 2) Runways receiving CCP cargo planes; & 3) Rail bridges receiving CCP cargo. Will consider all 'conspiracy theories'.
Vance says Iran threatened to launch “a large number of missiles at the Israelis” during the final hours of negotiations. Hegseth declared in early April that Iran’s ballistic missile program was “functionally destroyed” and said Iran had “no ability to replenish your offensive or defensive capabilities” Someone’s math doesn’t add up. And then there’s the Hezbollah wrinkle. Israel was so completely cut out of the negotiations that Israel reportedly resorted to spying on U.S. officials just to find out what was being discussed. Yet the deal requires Israel to stand down against Hezbollah — the 900-lb terror gorilla Iran has armed, funded, and directed for decades. And that is before international sanctions are lifted on Iran and it has billions more to bolster Hezbollah. So the country most directly threatened by Iran’s missiles had no seat at the table. The country whose cities Hezbollah has been rocketing wasn’t consulted. But Israel is expected to honor a deal that leaves Hezbollah intact and gives Iran a ceasefire window to dig out its surviving missile launchers — which, by U.S. intelligence’s own estimates, is roughly half of what they started with. I’m withholding judgment on the full deal until I see all the details. But the gap between what we were told was destroyed and what Vance just admitted Iran still had ready to fire — that’s not a rounding error.

What if an airport were planned for a community, and people were surveyed whether it should have runways, an air traffic control tower, OR a parking lot? Child care is critical infastructure. #ChildCareBC @10adayChildCare

In my opinion this is a very positive and, frankly, a naive take. Because in the end, when you truly win a war, there are no “ifs” attached to the analysis. I don’t think @rich_goldberg understands that the real damage from this war was not inflicted on Iran. The real damage was inflicted on the perception of American power. For more than half a century America has struggled with the same contradiction: overwhelming military superiority paired with increasingly limited political leverage. We keep confusing the ability to destroy things with the ability to achieve strategic objectives. Once again, Trump walked into this war believing those were the same thing. He told the world the war would be over in six weeks. It wasn’t. He told the world it was ahead of schedule. It wasn’t. He told the world the Strait of Hormuz would remain open. It didn’t. He told the world Iran would have no choice but to comply. They didn’t. He told the world this would end in total victory and surrender. It ended in negotiation. That is not a military failure. It is something more consequential. It is a strategic failure. The oldest question in warfare is not whether you can destroy your enemy. It is what happens when the bombing stops and the enemy is still standing. Trump never had an answer to that question. But Iran did. Iran understood that it did not need to defeat the United States militarily. It only needed to survive long enough for the economic and political costs of the war to become unbearable for everyone else. The Arab states needed stability. Global markets needed stability. Trump desperately needed an exit. And once those realities converged, leverage shifted. That is the part the victory-lap crowd refuses to confront. They continue to measure destroyed buildings, damaged factories, and cratered runways while ignoring the one metric that actually matters: Who needed the deal more? Because if Iran was truly defeated, there would be no negotiation. There would be surrender. Instead we got an agreement. We got diplomacy. We got financial arrangements. We got reconstruction discussions. We got side understandings that may never be fully disclosed. The public will see the press release. The real story is almost certainly buried in the footnotes. Iran entered this conflict getting pummeled. Iran exited this conflict negotiating. That fact alone should make people far more cautious about declaring victory than they currently are. @brithume @Zigmanfreud
IF all these conditions are met next week: Shipping is flowing freely through the Strait of Hormuz, the blockade is lifted, no further sanctions relief is provided to Iran, and new sanctions are still imposed when evasion is found. The result would be: - Oil prices down and stocks starting to refill. - No tolls or threats to freedom of navigation. - The regime gets back the $3 billion per week Trump took away with the blockade. - Iran has no enrichment or ballistic missile production capabilities, no defense industrial base, no real air defense, and existing enriched uranium stockpiles are entombed. - Iran's economy continues to hemorrhage from the enormous damage of Epic Fury while consumer demand continues to rise without bombs dropping, putting more pressure on the regime from within. Conclusion: We would be much better off than we were before Operation Epic Fury with a trajectory for more success ahead. This forecast changes dramatically IF there are side deals for cash release from Gulf countries or access to Qatar or Oman-based escrow accounts; broad oil sanctions waivers; a commitment to stop enforcing sanctions; or other forms of sanctions relief not being advertised.

Do you think she even got up high enough in that short time span for evacuation systems to function? The crash seems to be right there on one of the runways.

Excited to share that I’m in the process of launching Lonning Strategies for external investors. The focus: small-cap and micro-cap companies where research can provide an edge. I’m particularly interested in businesses with underappreciated market opportunities, strong management teams, and long growth runways where there is a disconnect between market expectations and long-term addressable market potential. Following a multi-year development of my investment process, I am launching Lonning Strategies as a vehicle to manage external capital. I’ll be sharing updates as the process progresses.
