That looks like part of an engine, but it’s hard to tell due to poor picture quality. The female lemon head is kinda cute.

Part of the afterburner.

On the Pratt and Whitney F100 engine it is called a thrust augmenter and the piece shown is the engine nozzle

Shut up Goose, we all know that.

Apparently we all didn’t know the technical term for an after burner on an F-16 is a thrust augmentor…

How else are those lawn darts going to auger into the ground? To do it properly you need an augmentor… and the bigger the better.

The Colonel July 7, 2015 at 4:26 pm

I dunno, I’ve been a plane nut all my life, the F-16 is a great bird.

Speak D Truth July 7, 2015 at 12:25 pm

Prayers for all involved.

Jade Helm 15. Obama is coming for you.

Jade Helm 15 is one of the most amusing conspiracy theories out there right now. Time to descend into my bunker, munch on some rations, and listen to some Alex Jones.

F-16 pilot error.

The other guy was flying a Cessna 150… that’s slightly larger than an ultralight and about as powerful as a riding lawn mower. He likely couldn’t get out of the F-16’s way if he saw him.

If the F-16 pilot was at fault, he needs to be kicked out of the service. That’s a bunch of tax money he wasted as well as the damage he caused to the people on the other plane.

I think you should make a sign and run down and march around outside the entrance to Shaw.

In other words, shut the fuck up.

While Grand Tango is the blog’s biggest idiot, you are the blog’s biggest asshole. Bask in the light; you deserve it.

I’m #1!!! I’m #1!!!

Will should give me a trophy or something.

Was anyone else on the judging committee, or did you make this decision all by yourself?

urbantrout July 8, 2015 at 11:22 am

And you know that HOW, genius? He’s highly trained, any idiot you see on I-26 can get a license to fly one of those Cessnas…. and they probably fly as bad as they drive.

Update: the small plane crashed in the rice field directly in front of my house and the people in it are friends of my family. Please pray.
So does this count as the T-Rav story of the week?

Not until FITS posts makes some salacious comment about Miss Dennis.

For it to count, does Fits have to call her a bimbo or can one of us do it?

Reply
Quietus July 7, 2015 at 4:08 pm

I motion that all members of the peanut gallery have a right to declare bimbo or camera whore in all cases involving Ms Dennis, T-Rav, and/or Southern Charm.

Reply
The Colonel July 7, 2015 at 4:32 pm

Well it stands to reason that any time T-Rav is involved that any derivative of whore is appropriate (man whore, media whore, coke whore…) but does Ms. Dennis really ascribe to the “whore” level, bimbo certainly, slut probably but whore?

How in the HELL did Will not reference that in the piece?!

What do you think is smarter, the chick in the Fire Department approved Nomex yoga pants or the roll of tape she’s holding?

Reply
Quietus July 7, 2015 at 4:10 pm

Well being that she’s wearing a yellow helmet she’s not a SCFA certified fire fighter. Thus the reference to lemon head above.

Reply
Quietus July 7, 2015 at 4:11 pm

That said, the tape may be smarter but the lemon head is probably more fun.

The F-16 is $160 million plane, doesn’t that thing have radar on it? Heck–even my boat has that.

Reply
Squishy123 July 7, 2015 at 5:37 pm

No it doesn’t, the pilot flies by a compass and map.

Your boat sounds fancy.

Reply
E Norma Scok July 7, 2015 at 11:07 pm

A quick google tells me the F-16 does have a radar, a AN/APG-68 radar that is a long range Pulse-doppler radar designed by Westinghouse. It has a range of about 184 miles. That fighter should have seen that Cessna in Moncks Corner when it took off from Shaw Air Force Base.

And yes, my boat is pretty fancy. My Garmin GMR18XHD is only good for about 24 miles though.
