I'm wondering if an f-16 can even fly slow enough to follow a drone without stalling. I thought most drones are propeller-driven, and not particularly fast compared to prop planes.

I should purchase additional shares of tinfoil stock.

Not to mention laws against blowing things "out of the sky", off the road or wherever, just because you don't know what it is.

Not legally. And there would be no real “explosions” to witness anyway, as the practice ordnance has the minimum charge required to produce a puff of smoke in order to mark and score the impacts. The Air Guard was more welcoming to visitors to the observation towers before 9/11. I'm not sure if...

I've been using that Wildlife Management Area since the early 80s, hiking, mountain biking, bird hunting and deer hunting. The last deer I shot was taken there. So I'm pretty darn sure I'm familiar with the concept of sharing and multiple uses on a tract of land. One use neither I nor anyone...

Somehow that image brings to mind a Far Side cartoon featuring a pack of lions,

When much public land access shut down during Covid my wife and I started taking our dogs for long walks within Greenwood Forest WMA, primarily weaving through the roads around the quail fields. Wanting to let the dogs roam off-leash ahead of us, and as a hunter, I knew Sundays would be the best...

Nature rarely wastes anything. That's man's job.

My understanding was that the engine and tracks were not used for the sawmill but rather for sanding the bogs, The tracks, which were later moved to Whitesbog, would be shifted laterally across the bogs while the engine and cars were getting more sand from the nearby pit. Upon returning, the...

Besides the very real issue of how impractical moving the fish would be, there is another issue that may seem counterintuitive in regards to a threatened or endangered species. In nature, with the exception of cases such as reptiles that are being collected for the pet trade, species do not...

If you find yourself near it, the circular depression of the former turntable pit is not hard to make out, even if faint. The last time I was there, a stone block which I assumed was the pivot point for the turntable was at the center. Regarding the Atco spur, its construction and use ended up...

The problem with internet pics is they always show the ripe berries!

Work has had me leading many hikes between here and the northern counties over the years so I've seen it quite a bit, but I also think I first learned to ID it when I was still living in Passaic County over 45 years ago. The arrangement of the fruit is what caught my eye.

Spicebush?

Q. falcata

With all our perceived improvement in environmental sensibilities, I'm quite sure we send far more bad stuff to the landfills now than they tossed in the ground back then. Glass bottles in particular are pretty much inert and do little harm, as does most of the modern "litter" we pick up during...

I should have known. Both strange tree and Jersey Devil sightings usually occur when leaving bars.

Ash is also opposite branched. This appears to not be.

Just an educated guess. I'm waiting for Bob to chime in.

Staghorn has very hairy twigs (like a buck in velvet, hence the name). I'm going with R. glabra. I don't see that much where I am. Usually any sumacs I find are copallina.
