Can confirm, tastes good. This was in Papua New Guinea, the dog was donated to a function to be eaten because it kept killing people’s chickens.

What’s funny is some tribes will eat dog and not cat, others eat cat and not dog, and they both think the other is weird for their choice.

One of my college professors was involved in the development program for ~4 years, and said it was (one of?) the most stressful experiences of his life.

Major General Craig Olson, he (and his wife) are some of the most caring people I’ve met, I’m sure the weight of managing a program like that was a lot to bear. Looks like he left the program shortly after the March 2006 accident. He presented on some of the engineering challenges they faced and solved in the program (especially failure modes), but my memory is hazy.

Not an aeronautical engineer, but that’s how all helicopters work in general, they change rotor pitch with constant angular velocity.

You always know politicians are crooked, but this is just staggeringly incompetent.
