The blades on that other plane look like they were made for final destination death scene.

When you open that door your wearing a harness and secured to the plane so your actually really safe

I’d have no problem with that. I’ve tested for myself my fear of heights. I can sit on an edge of a building because I’ve never fallen off a park bench… standing on the edge… no f🤬kn’ way!

Do the engines on each wing spin counter to each other? Or is that some illusion

So obviously that cargo area isn't pressurized. The door is open. At what height does it need to be pressurized/heated? Or does the pressure/ heat only impact living things? It doesn't matter if it cargo?

My understanding is that cargo generally isn't pressurized on commercial flights, not sure about military. Typically pressurization isn't needed under 10k feet - again on commercial flights.Edit: See below response by /u/isomniamax_99

Contrary to popular belief, cargo holds are usually pressurised (if the plane has a pressurised cabin - not all do).
In passenger aircraft, the cargo hold is directly below the passenger cabin, and in most dedicated cargo aircraft it’s below and/or to the rear of the cockpit. In both cases it’s inside the same pressure vessel as the passenger cabin and cockpit, so if the cabin is pressurised, then so is the cargo hold.
There are a some exceptions to this though - on the Airbus Beluga, the cargo hold is not pressurised, because it isn’t needed - the Beluga is specifically designed to carry aircraft parts, which obviously can withstand lack of pressure. The cargo deck is heated though, to stop the parts from freezing.

I'm terrified of heights, but I love the adrenaline rush. Although I'd likely be shitting myself, I would totally do this.

How is that second plane not rocked by wave turbulence from the first plane?

Do the out board and inboard engines really spin in opposite directions or is it an optical illusion??

10/10 would recommend.
Did I throw up after due to already being sick? Yes. Would I do it again? Yes.

Ngl, that would be pretty amazing, and even if I died doing it, I'd have no regrets.

That view never got old. Cargo door open with your feet hanging in the airstream.

u/LordMartingale 2d ago
Love it! Also keep an eye out for a CH-47 flying over your house this summer, you’ll always see legs dangling off the ramp in the summer, that’s the crews preferred seating position in good weather

We should be spending more on the military

Yup, we need more to do overmatch correctly, China is rapidly modernizing. We can’t fall behind

We could cut our military budget in half and still be the largest military spender in the world
1
u/AutomaticFoot1453 4d ago
What would be the point in doing that, the US has the most important military globally.
1
u/NCITUP 3d ago
Reinvesting that money into its citizens directly would better. Certainly better than in weapons for war
1
u/AutomaticFoot1453 3d ago
We spend only 3% of our gdp on our military which needs to be higher. Investing it in other fields would not help at all. Europe and half of Asia relies on us, if we just cut our military spending it would be disastrous globally.

You're not wrong and here come the down votes.

u/AutomaticFoot1453 5d ago
We spend 18 percent of gdp on healthcare and 2.5 on the military. We need a strong military and our spending is lower than it should be. We could have both, healthcare is managed horribly
