Carbon Fiber Wings

[Manedwolf]

I just wonder how much of a heat signature those little engines have. Getting a Stinger or SA-7 Grail up your pantleg would kind of ruin your day.

M2 Carbine, I see those things all over the valley, especially when the weather is particularly nice, or the leaves are changing color. Maybe I'll have to read up on 'em.

His hands would be too frozen and frost bitten to work the controls

Just like the astronauts in space, right?

M-2 Carbine - thank you for the economical home model. Hopefully Al Qaeda doesn't read THR.

I dunno, I guess?
Seems like astronaughts are a bit better protected, but from what I've heard going between the extremes (In the sunlight = very hot, in the shadow = very cold) is very noticeable by astronaughts.

Just today, a friend who was a HALO instructor showed me a picture of them fixing to leave the plane at 32,000 feet. They were dressed for the cold.

He said they jumped higher than that but had to show a lower altitude in their log books due to regulations.

He's not too enthused about this wing thing.

No guns? Give that Brit a soccer ball and you have truley achieved death from above.

(In the spirit of world cup and England's 1-nil win)

I wonder if they can reach their fly?

Maybe that's why he's not wearing gloves!
