"How'd I get here? Ah, it's a long story. I graduated from UMSOT (Undergrad MS Operator training) and test pilot school in '77, back when it was on side 6. Oh, yeah, back then it was something different, we didn't have mobile suits back then, it was MWOTC... Anyways, when the war started, I was a ball pilot for a few weeks, flew three sorties and scored a lucky kill on a Zaku I, and 'cause I was the only one with a kill under my belt, I got chosen to fly with some secret squirrel things on the White Base (back then they just called it the Pegasus). Turns out in order to work on that top secret, feddie zaku ripoff, we couldn't be active EFSF personnel. We got discharged from the service so we could fly for some private shell company. Yeah, we lost MIL benefits, but the pay was so good we figured we'd go for it. We had three weeks to study the manuals and get trained on the simulators while we flew out to our assignment. They put me on the RX-78(a3/4) , but when we were en route to rendezvous to Side 7, the EFSF gave me my walking papers. Turns out, get...get THIS shit: They didn't "need my services any more." Can you believe that? One of the only guys trained on their new, crazy invincible MS, and they fired me.They tossed me, an ace, a qualified TEST PILOT out on my ASS. FOR A G/D FOURTEEN YEAR OLD. Yeah, you know who?! It was the doctor's kid, right? Remember that Tamm Ray guy from the training videos? Yeah, he got HIS kid to be the gundam pilot. Oh, no they tossed all of us. The entire team of mobile suit pilots, gone. Didn't even reassign us. So we're sittin' there, just lookin out the window, watching the stars go by, just angry as all hell, y'know? Fuming. I get an idea, right? So I says to the other guys, who cares? The zeeks need us more than the feddies do, so I went up front, showed the captain our discharge papers, and turned that sum'bitch around. Anyways, long story short, boy do those GM's explode easy! Oh man, jokes on them, the feddies drafted a LOT of stupid 14 year olds to drive those death traps.....so uh, what brings you to Axis?"

Good news! You can build one of these for less than…..$100k?

Saw one a while back, it’s pretty sweet. If they add the 160hp 916 it’ll be a hot little toy plane.

This thread was closed, I only follow the bot that has completed ones. The recrooooooter ran off after the first 10 negative posts. Gosh, they’re just so much fun

Waiting on eurofags to answer my emails so I can stop “working” so enjoy this employer-funded shitting on the recruiter efffort

Gonna start using that “it’s time to be - hashtag - BASED! That is, living on a military base!!!!“

it’s hilarious

Cool in theory, retarded in practice. It’s probably never gonna result in a single new airframe.

There’s no skill, no machinery for it anymore. All of that stuff was designed around old school procedures, so now they have to retrain people, redesign stuff, and make a 1930’s production line to end up with something that’s heavier, bigger, and more expensive than a new aircraft would be. I just don’t see it happening without considerable revisions. And that’s money. They wouldn’t be resurrecting a cheap type certificate like this if they had money. They’ll probably just make parts, and this whole thing was designed to make headlines and garner attention to their brand as the home for the type now.

I love the catalina, been in them before and it would be a dream, but I’m a realist. In a way I hate this stuff, it’s like seeing them reanimate a loved one from the grave. It’s disrespectful, a dead end that will never recapture the magic. Just design a new damn boat. Or get the navy off its negroid ass and finish the amphibious C130.

Or buy the japs’ seaplane. Done. This offers pretty much everything the catalina does, and it’s in production, known, and has at least 60 years of modernization (likely more) baked in from the start.

The guy wouldn’t be genuinely getting plays if he didn’t have some quality backing him up - that’s why he’s getting millions of views, while all those gay movies come and go into immediate obscurity

Well you’ll see a mini resurgence for a time

I really don’t quite get how it works, unless you have the copilot run back to row 11 for a callout. Heaven knows I’m not having one of the ladies take up that responsibility

The guy seems cool enough, he probably won’t stay in the public eye for long, heard he has likes that include the dancing israelis on his old YT. They might try to give him an album deal, set up a cottage industry of benignly conservative music, which would be cool (though bland)

“I just want a home for my family, and for everyone else to have their own, too” is an easier sell. TND is just a meme that people keep venting with because they’re increasingly seeing that redeeming the negro is probably never gonna happen

genuinely belly laughed at the idea of some pajeet functionary thinking he’s reaching the “alt right” with this one

(probably farming replies to make a few cents, but still)

Honestly I’m amazed the shills are so out of touch they think THIS is a viable strategy:

It’s not like it’s not totally genuine. Just because you used carb spray on an old engine doesn’t mean it’s not running on it’s own after that

Seems alright. They just plucked him out of the pile and decided he has the right mix to be used. When you’re on the production side of media you want certain things out of your talent like reliability, marketability, etc. Guy’s got them, from the little bits I’ve seen. He’ll be palatably libertarian, generically conservative but never spicy or inflammatory. More a win for us that it would ever be a loss.

Overall it’s smart enough, like I said the con,inc method is aging. Not sure they’ll be able to brute-force their way to “virality” again so easily.

I’m much more interested in finding out if that chainsaw man song represents an exciting genre of music over there, like “Japanese pop-punk-rapecore”

Haven’t watched it, won’t watch it, just thumbsed up the client post so he isn’t offended

Once upon a time you’d say the same about jordan peterosen.

“he’s just some nerd professor, who’s gonna listen to him? He has some interesting lectures, that’s it”

Now this guy’s just a singer, but big things start small. As far as mass introductions go, this guy got it MADE. He went from nobody to “national sensation” from the outset. Benign, inoffensively rebellious stuff like this is perfect for them. It doesn’t have to be politically impactful as much as it does entertaining and good enough to make lifetime fans.

Daily wire said they have 1M+ subscribers and $200M in revenue last year (if you believe them). That’s a lot of people who want new stuff to watch and enjoy. If all it takes to kickstart a new face is a cheesy shill campaign, that’s damn cheap advertising.

I think most around here say “radio” to mean “youtube” actually
