Idk. I think it's why I've always kinda lost interest past like, the late 50's with planes. I can cheer on a Spitfire or Mustang but creaming my jocks about spy planes and stupendous wastes of money designed to kill people kinda irks me a little.
Still an awesome ep tho I do love the technical details and the gang are amazing as always lol.

The SR71 speed check story Nova mentions is by Major Brian Shul, author of Sled Driver. The short version is that Shul's SR71 with two-man crew was flying over California when they heard a Cessna call in to central control for a speed check - 90 knots. Then a Beechcraft called in - 120 knots. THEN an F-18 Blue Hornet called in - 620 knits, trump card pulled. Long delay. Then Shul's radio man thumbs the mic and asks for a speed check - "Aspen 20, I see you at one thousand eight hundred forty-two knots across the ground."
Sadly, probably not a true story, according to other SR71 pilots.

When I see someone platforming someone associated with a group I am upset with, before I complain, I actually look at the content to see whether it supports the views and actions I take issue with, or if it is counter to them. In this case, it was my impression the guest stayed pretty consistently neutral towards their employer, except for a few moments of opposition. I therefore don't have a complaint about them being platformed.

It's a lovely musical instrument and its name is hilarious to many English speakers. Most of the people I have encountered in the wild who know of it have referenced it more for the joy of saying the word flugelhorn than for any appreciation of the instrument itself. That's nothing to do with the instrument and much more to do with the fact that I'm not a musician and do not hang out with musicians for the most part. At least, I think. Reflecting a bit more on the musicians I have hung out with, maybe it's just appreciation for the instrument's wonderful name is greater than the wonderful instrument.

Completely correct about the twin wing and tail boom being a Rutan design. That's the SMUT (real name. Special-Mission Utility Transport) Scaled Composites 133 ATTT short takeoff demonstrator he made for DARPA in the late 80s
There's also a Fairchild T-46 Eaglet which Rutan helped design, specifically this one is 84-0492
Lockheed C-140A JetStar 59-5962 is the green one in the top left
Lockheed C-130E Hercules 61-2358
The swing-wing is either General Dynamics F-111A Aardvark 63-9766 or General Dynamics NF-111A Aardvark 63-9778
Rockwell B-1B Lancer 84-0049
Boeing NC-135A Stratolifter 60-0377 and Boeing C-135C Stratolifter 61-2669 "Speckled Trout"
Douglas C-53D Skytrooper 41-20093
I believe the trapezoidal wing one is Martin RB-57B Canberra 52-1576
Lockheed NC-141A Starlifter 61-2779

Nova, at 18:28 I'm not sure if you're poking fun at the German language but a flugelhorn is actually a musical instrument that exists. It is commonly used by trumpet players as a doubling instrument, meaning that it's a secondary instrument used by trumpet players to achieve a specific, much mellower and warmer sound than a trumpet can produce. This is possible because the bore of the instrument is conical, meaning that the width of the tubes gradually increases throughout the length of the instrument, as opposed to the cylindrical bore of a trumpet, which is constant until the bell stem. A flugelhorn bell also widens much quicker and has a much wider throat than that of a trumpet.
