Katy Sunshine

[Snake45]

Well, I'm WAY behind now. Have some catching up to do this evening.


Uh... yeah... I'm guessing you're just joking around, but in case you aren't aware of that sabre dance...

Unless I'm misremembering, your dad would be referring to a whole different kind of sabre dance, involving a tremendous amount of metal, orders of magnitude more energy, and ended up 9 out of 10 times killing the "dance partner." I could only find (in a quick youtube search) one instance on video. But in actuality, it happened quite a few times. It was a notorious danger in coming in for a landing in the F-100 Super Sabre. If I recall the mechanism correctly, if you got "behind the jet," you could end up allowing the Angle of Attack of the air over the wings to get too high (angle that the air hits the leading edge of the wings; think of the air hitting the bottom of the front of the wing as "high angle of attack," the air hitting right at the front edge of the wing as "low angle of attack.") This high AOA eventually causes causes more drag than lift, and the jet slows and starts dropping out of the sky. So you increase power, but you can't let the nose drop or you will pancake. But the increase power can't overcome the drag caused by the high AOA, and you keep slowing down. You're still trying not to pancake, so you try harder to climb. Which increases the angle of attack more. Eventually you get to a stalemate, but it is an unstable stalemate. If you pull the control stick further back to climb higher (which the pilot in this video apparently did), you go beyond a critical angle of attack where the wings stall (or one does first, in this case). If both stall at the same time (not the usual case), you're going to pancake anyway. You can see in the video what happens if one wing stalls before the other.

I only ever heard of it happening with the F-100 Super Sabre.

I first saw this footage--or very similar footage--in 1961 or '62, when my Dad took me to see the feature film X-15. It was on a double feature with Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, and it was at the old Colonial Theater in our hometown. As you might infer, it left quite an impression on me.

As David Letterman used to say, "You're not dealing with a chimp, here, my friend."

Just to get back on-topic:

I might have spoken prematurely when I named the girl in pink "Katie Sunshine of the Sabre." Check out this young lady, who reminds me a bit of Catherine O'Hara back in her SCTV days:

NICE!!!!
And I figured you might know about it. But i love to talk airplanes, too, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to ramble a bit.

I'm amazed that she hasn't wound up giving herself a hair cut !

I'm amazed that a whole bunch of them haven't cut their own hands off. I suspect these must be no-edge "training" swords--or at least, that they learned to do this wonderful stuff with un-edged weapons.

It appears the F-100 is in burner. Makes me wonder if he would have pulled up the gear and flaps he might have been able to climb out with just a little nose down. Looks like the AOA is about right for climb in burner and clean MAYBE.
Getting behind the power curve down low isn't good.
If you watch some of the STOL contest you will see it can be done.

In all of the above videos Katie is still the winner IMHO. Both in style and looks.

I'll second the above sentence.

The motion is passed without objection.

 

[Ride1949]

Katie goes country.

 

[caryc]

Katie goes country.

And, I like that country ! Ain't it a shame that that girl has to grow up? She's just perfect as she is right now.

[how about a little practice?

You don't even have to push the Play button to like that one. Are yoga pants great, or what?

 

[freakindawgen]

Speaking of hula hoops, anyone ever watch Remy La Croix?

Is that a trick question?

They're great on her. On some Walmart customers I've seen...not so much

Haven't seen any of her videos with hula hoops or otherwise, but I know who she is. and that's prolly about all I can say about the subject without getting the thread locked or disappeared.

No match for Katy Sunshine. She lacks that beautiful smile.

 

[Snake45]

And to think Obummer won the Nobel Prize for doing nothing and the inventor of the YOGA PANTS has nothing to show for his work.

Lets all vote for Mr. Yoga pants guy.

Oh, there's PLENTY to "show for his work." Just not a Nobel Prize.

 

[Snake45]

Okay, I found a video that everyone here should like. Hotter than Katie Sunshine? Of course not. But watch the WHOLE thing and I'll bet you see SOMETHING to like, all set to Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" (if you HAVE to have a tune stuck in your head all day, you could do a lot worse than "Ring of Fire"). If you watch the whole thing and tell me, "Snake, I didn't enjoy one single second of that stupid video," then you, my friend, just ain't hooked up right.

 

[Wyandot Jim]

Snake ,
I was trying to figure out if that was the wood deck carrier mock up used in the movie Devotion. You got any ideas???? Oh yea I did see some dancers.

 

[Ride1949]

Looked like Christina Aguilera dancing with the sailor on the carrier deck.

I hope this one passes the censorship test. If not mods please delete

 

[Snake45]

Well, SOME post got deleted SOMEWHERE. When I posted the Ring of Fire video, it was #121 and at this top of this page (7). Now it's post #120 at the very bottom of page 6, where no one will see it.

 

[Ride1949]

I saw it. There were a lot things on there that I liked. That's an interesting take on "Ring of Fire." Christina Aguilera's no Katie Sunshine but the WWII theme is kinda cool.

 

[freakindawgen]

Found a hula hoops of her while dressed.

 

[freakindawgen]

Amazing thing of this, only 4 dancers were used.

 

[Snake45]

Found a hula hoops of her while dressed.

Okay, that was pretty good--I enjoyed it much more than I expected. But she's still not quite in Katie Sunshine's league in any way.

Thanks for posting it! I appreciate it!

Ride, old friend, I have to confess that I have an active dislike for the music, dancing, fashions, and hairstyles of the 1940s (and the same goes for much of the '50s, as well). After about 10 seconds, I hit the Mute button and watched the rest in silence. That said, this video made me want to puke the least of any such thing I've seen. It got darn close to Snakeworthy.

I DID enjoy the hangar scenes with the two T-6s and the nose of the P-51 Mustang, though, so my time wasn't completely wasted. Thanks for posting it!

 

[Ride1949]

How's that old saying go?

Hmmmm.... kinda surprised that is up on the 'tube. Seems like the censors would have been on that one pretty quick. I guess maybe the poor quality of the video made them keep it.

Yeah, that BANGBROS video running in the background should have gotten this shut down right away.

Dang, how'd I miss THAT the first time through? I guess I was paying attention to the lovely Ms. Lacroix...or something....
