Riding a Brompton with a power meter.
Bare metal Belgian F-104 from the 60s.
Even though they had long hung up their spurs (literally, F-104 crews did have spurs that locked their feet to the seat in case of ejection) the Belgian F-104 community's antics were still the stuff of legend when I was in the RAF. In one memorable episode of hooliganism a pair flew up the hill toward the front gate of RAF St. Mawgan at M0.9 and 50' AGL.

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
The smoke coming from the outer starboard engine pair looks thinner than the other three. Does that mean one of the two engines is out and they have to make the ‘dreaded seven engine landing’?

160th SOAR stole a Libyan example from Chad in 1988 from whence it was spirited away to the Tonopah Test Range in Nevada for evaluation. The US Army weren't that impressed with it due its immense fuel burn (725kg/hour) describing it as 'the ideal helicopter for flying from one fuel refinery to another'.
They put the rotor blades in one CH-47 and carried the HInd underslung on the other for 600km across the Sahara.
What goes around comes around.
