>> ^GeeSussFreeK:
My dad would always reference this kinda idea about the strength of the migs. You could land them without the gear and just take off again. You might be able to land it safely without the gear, but it is clear you can't take off without it. With that said, it stood up to the test pretty well otherwise...engines didn't seem to be phased by the tarmac going into the intake!


nitpick:

MiG-29s have FOD shields that cover the intakes during takeoff and landing. Louvres on the top of the LERXs open to provide air to the engines.

Admittedly, this sort of incident is probably not what the designers planned for.

It's middle-eastern Ralph Wiggum!

Pants?

How can you forget pants, man? You were in on the prank!

You never go full retard.

All Nerf darts should aspire to this level of greatness: to be the instrument of natural selection!

Guys, think how much cooler Earth will look with rings!

tsk tsk tsk...kinky pigs.

Spits are purty.

Someone's playing katamari damacy.

"Screw you, trees!"

Refs should've called unsportsmanlike conduct on that one.

TD celebrations are getting out of hand.

I see you have cleverly preempted the most relevant joke.

Dammit.

The 5 in my username is silent.
