This was a bit of a flash stunt.

Fournierf5 24th Sep 2019 10:51

Can we stop making these silly comments please - perhaps Faraday or so . . ..

Jhieminga 24th Sep 2019 10:59

I guess it still sparks an interest for some of us.

Fournierf5 24th Sep 2019 11:08

. . . I support the resistance

Parson 24th Sep 2019 18:03

Guilty as charged

langleybaston 24th Sep 2019 20:32

I do hope he has been earthed by now.

page 3 I believe, but don't quote me on that!

Can't quite make it out in the picture but are his lines and the power lines in parallel?

tartare 25th Sep 2019 00:53

Poor bugger probably thought he was going to die as he watched the powerlines get closer and closer.
Then imagine what he must have been thinking as he was hanging there.
"Don't. Move. An. Inch."
No - probably more like "****e - now I'm going to have to put up with pages and pages of dreadful puns on pprune..."

flyinkiwi 25th Sep 2019 02:54

I for one have found the puns generated here to be most illuminating.

BEagle 25th Sep 2019 04:55

No, they've been pretty dire. Time for the amateur comedians to stop...........please!

Jhieminga 25th Sep 2019 05:12

Allright, but who’s going to pull the plug?

Parson 25th Sep 2019 05:47

Perhaps someone will send him a link - I'm sure he'll be ec-static.

Indeed, some have been revolting.

No, I give up - where's the pun BEagle?

Fournierf5 25th Sep 2019 14:03

Lighten up, we do not want a re-volt in here or sparks might fly.

Fly Aiprt 25th Sep 2019 14:15

Sorry, no pun this time.
The owners of the damaged house have been allowed to come back twice, under military surveillance.
Bits and pieces of the aircraft have been picked up, trees and soiled material and soil will be removed, then the house will be decontaminated and rebuilt.
Expected to take 5-6 months.

Nutloose
I think BEeagle is just upset all the good puns have been used

NutLoose 25th Sep 2019 17:03

Yep, he's barking mad over it.

Parson 25th Sep 2019 17:21

It amperes to me that the dreadful puns still have some mileage.

How persistent is Hydrazine?

Don't know, but they say they will uproot all the trees in the property and nearby field, and scrap the soil several inches deep.
They found an inert missile nose cone in the house.

Although Hydrazine is a pretty nasty carcinogenic chemical monofuel, the important chemical loss processes for it in the atmosphere mean that its overall lifetime in the atmosphere is only a few hours.

But if it's absorbed into the ground...???

H-70, 70% Hydrazine and 30% water in the F16
