Finally managed to slog my way through this exercise in futility of attempting to convince a worshipper of the altar of the Sealion that his faith is misplaced. I have to admit watching the arguments bounce of the impenetrable shield of Sir Glenn de la Mancha has been entertaining. It is truly...
Speaking of turboprop conversions there's the basler BT-67 turboprop conversions of the DC3/C-47 which have proven very succesful. Some of them have been making regrular flights to Antartica.
Then there is the Super Guppy which is an extremely modified conversion of the C-97 Stratofreighter...
In Central America it was Guatemala that was the political center of what was the Captaincy General of Guatemala.
One possible divergence point is that instead of Central America annexing itself to Mexico as they did after their independence they could have stayed independent which would...
An additional factor that slowed the spread of crops in the Americas was that the two major crops that were domesticated have their origins in highland species.
Zea mays was the only one of the two that spread widely and even that took a long time. It's domestication was a fortunate chance...
@metalinvader665 I've flown out of Reagan which is far closer to D.C. than either Dulles or BWI both of which I've flown out. It's literally across the Potomac river from D.C. the main runway like I said points toward the White house. The times I had early morning flights I was able to recognise...
You're not thinking things through logically and you are falling into the trap of underestimating the 9/11 hijackers.
You are forgetting the fourth plane of September 11 namely United flight 93. You know the one that went down in southern Pennsylvania . What do you think it's likely targets...
I worked in downtown D.C. for quite a few years at the World Bank. The White house is well within walking distance only a few blocks away. So I'm pretty familiar with downtown D.C.
Also I've flown out of Washington's Ronald Reagan National airport more than once. Takeoff and landing is usually...
D.C.'s landmarks are pretty obvious all you really need is to line up with the Mall and it's monuments you'll have a straight path to your choice of two major targets.
In any case the probability of a right wing terrorist group using suicide attacks in the U.S. is very low they are far more...
I'd say a far right group would be far more likely to go after a politically symbolic targets than attacking the twin towers. The Oklahoma city attacks had a logic to them if you consider exactly what agencies where in the building.
For a right wing group it would be more about making a...
True there are certain parallels but I will observe that the British colonies had a greater deal of local rule than the Spanish colonies ever did. Colonial governors were appointed by England but the rank and file of colonial administration as well as local Mayors and Councils were for the most...
I'd probably go earlier than that all the way back to early Spanish colonial administration...
That is go straight to the root of the probelm which was the entire Spanish colonial administration which basicly set a de facto caste system as to how high one could go based on one where one was...
