Yah a ton of DHL planes were outfitted with a pride livery last year. Some of them just never bothered to take it off I think.
In general, the North American X-15 gets the official highest speed record of any aerial vehicle, hitting a top speed of Mach 6.7 at an altitude of over 19 miles. She achieved this speed using the XLR99, which was basically a liquid fuel rocket engine. This makes sense as it was effectively a rocket with a cockpit attached to it.
The fastest aircraft with an air breathing engine was the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird with the record speed of Mach 3.3 at an altitude of around 16 miles. She achieved these speeds with the Pratt Whitney J58, an engine which could transition from a turbojet into a hybrid ramjet at higher altitudes.
As for the fastest aircraft currently in service, and don’t quote me on this, I believe is the MiG-25 reaching a maximum safe speed of 2.83 mach. It can go around 3.2 Mach, but not without damaging itself.
Edit: Not including any orbital vehicles here since there’s a thin line that separates aircraft and spacecraft.

I’m EST/-5UTC. As for what time, it depends. I don’t know what time zone a lot of the other players are in as I know several players are Asian or European. If you want the American crowd, generally the later half of the day is when we’re on (like 3pm-11pm) though it varies.
As for days, most often I see full servers on Fridays and Saturdays.
@Michiganstatepolice
Also partly incorrect. They compete against each other for food, there’s never a clear victor in natural completion. As I said, who outcompetes the other depends on a variety of factors and it’s not a one sided fight. There are over 3000 species of bees in North America alone. It’s not just the Honeybees and the Bumblebees competing.
Also the European Honeybee is in fact suffering mass deaths and disappearances. I encourage you to look up Colony Collapse Disorder, an event in which the majority of the workers either die or disappear due to mechanisms which we still don’t understand, though it could be due to pesticides or mites. Bumblebees do not suffer from CCD for reasons which we again, do not understand.
Do not hit me with the ‘but I did research’. I literally study these types of things as a student. We’re not making this an argument. These are the facts, take them or leave them.
Hi, Zoologist and Environment Scientist here. No, not necessarily. There seems to be an inherent misunderstanding of some facts, so let me break it down for you.
There are invasive species and there are established species. Some species have previously been introduced or were originally invasive, but have become integrated into the ecosystem over time. Two examples of this in the states are Horses and the Peacock Bass.
European Honeybees were introduced to the states in the 1600s and have since become integral to the native ecosystem. And damage they may have once caused has been erased by this gradual integration. The European Honeybee is the single most important agricultural insect and among the most common of bees as well as being among the most prolific pollinators. Without the European Honeybee, the US as we know it would not exist.
Do European Honeybees and Bumblebees compete? Yes? Can the European Honeybee cause damage to Bumblebees? Yes. However this interaction is not exclusive to bees and invasive species. Competition is part of every ecosystem, native and non-native. Like a teeter-totter it swings back and forth, sometimes favoring one over another. There are scenarios in which Bumblebees outcompete the European Honeybees as well. Both can spread viruses to eachother, both can out-pollinate the other. In addition, pollination rates and honey production vary wildly between the two species and between groups, with other factors such as weather, climate, and season at play.
If we were to suddenly turn around and exterminate or accelerate the already worrying decline the European Honeybee, it would be an ecological disaster of truly epic proportions. The food chain would collapse, famine and food shortages would become widespread, products such as dairy and cotton would become almost impossible to obtain, we’d lose a significant amount of biodiversity in regards to flora; food prices would skyrocket, and a economic crisis of untold proportions would occur. It would be many decades, if not longer before other pollinators started to restore the balance.
Also, do not call me ‘misinformed’. I’m very well informed. Yes, Wasps can pollinate, but I left that detail out for a reason. Not not only are they not as good at it as other insects, they don’t even actively do it. Wasps lack the same adaptation Bees have to carry large amounts of pollen. Many insects have small hairs all over their body, not just bees and wasps.
In addition, the only time a wasp will visit a flower is for two reasons. To get their sugar fix or to eat other insects, which is where they inadvertently pick up pollen. You know what a favorite insect snack among Wasps is? That’s right, Bees. Wasps and Hornets are notorious for raiding bee colonies, especially during summer months when pollination is most prevalent, slaughtering entire colonies to get at nectar and bee larvae to steal for consumption. Wasps are by nature carnivores and scavengers, their diet mostly consuming of other insects. The pollination provided by wasps only results in a small fraction of the produce we consume.
Aight I normally don’t step in on things like this because usually I don’t care enough or it’s not worth my time. However seeing that comment I have to say something and I’m probably gonna get in trouble for this… but that’s absolutely ridiculous telling the OP to block everyone from that post because ’oh they wronged innocent little old me’
People criticized your one post (as they rightfully can and should, albeit some were a bit trolly and perhaps a few mean spirited comments to which you had the right to block …but still), you got mad and blocked everyone who dared question or criticize you (to which you somehow took as the moderators being your buddy and not just people doing their jobs?), then you started playing multiplayer, acting like you were superior to everyone and started screaming, cursing us out, threatening us, and telling us to kill ourselves when you were in the server with us… not once… not twice… multiple times you did this and continue to do this. There’s screenshots as well so don’t try to deny it.
Don’t act like you’re such a good guy standing on a moral pillar. I will not sit here and let you attack me or my friends just because things didn’t go your way that one time.
For the sake of judging, out of all my favorites based on amount of times viewed and most impact on me, either Aliens, Titanic, or Twister
Got a lot of favorites, can’t put one above the rest. Also love War of the Worlds (both the 1953 and 2005 versions), majority of the Studio Ghibli films, the original Godzilla, the 90s Gamera Trilogy… yada yada yada.
Interesting. I’ve been trying to figure out how to do the comment link button since I like to write a long description… Didn’t realize any of the other stuff was possible though (or at the very least it never crossed my mind)

Depends on what you mean by ‘fastest’.
