Not Much Changes in 700 Years

Ice Cream Man found a cool picture of an ejection pod that looks mighty familiar. The escape capsule developed for the B-58 Hustler, the USAF's first supersonic bomber, was needed to protect ejected pilots during a high altitude/speed emergency. A very similar unit protects Confed pilots in Wing Commander Prophecy and Secret Ops.

McDowell Cameo in Slipknot Video

Mark Smids spotted a famous admiral in the new music video/short film Snuff by Slipknot. Malcolm McDowell plays a doorman/watchman in the beginning and end. He's been popping up everywhere lately! Check out the full vid here.

Hi Wingnuts,
As I was watching some new music videos last week, I was surprised that I saw Malcolm McDowell starring in it. The setting of the music video is a snuff movie. It is a song performed by the heavy-metal band Slipknot (although the song itself is not really that hard, more like a ballad). It might be interesting to post the link in your news section.
