Can we have a little known facts and triva thread?

One about the Lockheed Senior 71: The plane was so fast that if a pilot dropped a penny from his head, he could fly halfway to the UK before the quarter hit the floor.

Yeah it was pretty freak out about it later today thanks to you when I'm not sure if you have this problem before you leave for school tomorrow right side window controls fix it up for the congratulations on your phone number for me and you know what happened with your friends and family and friends who are you doing anything else today I will.

presuming the pilot is flying from Hanscom, thats 5300km to the UK. Rounding the SR-71s average speed to 1000m/s (for simplicitlys sake) it means that it would take the SR-71 2600 seconds to travel halfway to the UK.

Thats 40 ish minutes. So that's a rather slow penny, but whats even more amazing is that the penny turned into a quarter on its way down...

Trolling aside, most of the Titanium for the SR-71 was sourced from the Soviet Union.

Kerosine + molten butter = excellent hydraulic fluid.

McRibs are actually made by pressing millions of silverfish bugs together.

Tents are 3 times more likely to steal your purse than the average man.

The Rhodesian bush wars were actually held in latvia.

well i suppose he's right if the quarter happens to be possessed by a jew

The F-35 has a top speed of Mach 2.2, over twice the speed of light.
Due to this, it's bombs actually have to be dropped several days after an enemy has been sighted, in order for the munitions to accurately hit (so to time dilation and quantum displacement)
This combination of speed and stealth is why the F-18 Super Lightning is referred to as the first "multi-role" fighter to be used by the US Army Air Corps
