Saxe-Coburg-Gotha didn't really work very well as an English name for a monarchy, so they invented the name House of Windsor. Now called Mountbatten-Windsor.

Intermarriage between royalty of diff countries was often a way to make peace or consolidate power. But since our movie maven got her hubby to reject his heritage, they won't be having any non-European mixed ethnicity in the line of procession.

Oh yea I should have said non-European

You have only been here 8 days. I am Snarkmaster, so I was expecting it back.

Most disappointing thing about that picture to me is it's been 46 years and trillions of dollars, but we don't have a cooler vtol evacuation vehicle. Where's the sci-fi looking troop transports?

I think the only other possible solution would be an Osprey, but not sure they can hover like a helo can

A quad rotor Osprey has been in the works for a few decades, but it sounds like vaporware like the F35.

Yes they can. They fast rope insert all the time.

Yes they can. They fast rope insert all the time.

Sounds like they could've used Ospreys for evac then. Do the Chinooks have higher payload capacity?

I think chinooks can carry more people. I dont know about capacity weight wise as they are constantly upgrading engines.

Chinooks can seat like 55 people where ospreys can seat 35, but I've read they can pack alot more people in there standing.

 

[jamesmrj]

Or maybe even planned an orderly withdrawal where the valuable equipment would have been brought back?

or properly destroyed?!!!

 

[oldag]

Yep, in the short run.

Now China and Iran have some of our drones to dissect... That will be expensive in the long run.
