Trivia: then-LTC Cody, who commanded 1-101 and the strike, firing the first Hellfire shots, when on to become Vice Chief of Staff of the Army during the next Iraq War.

Kinda surprised they don’t use the aircraft as a COIN attack/support craft. Long legs, decent payload, have it hand around at high altitude and drop SBDs and (future) JASSMs. Poor man’s B-1.

5 of 5. Would hoon.

Chrysler Defense won the M1 Abrams competition, too, over its GM competitor.

Yes, Hollywood sets unrealistic expectations.

I’ve got mine.

Not a new idea.

So, what’s next?

So I can be were-Herbie, or the Stig?

It’s a crying shame the USAF convinced the Army to hand over this program, only to sabotage it and walk away.

That’s highly variable based on the individual variant. ICVs are cheap; MGS and NBCRV variants are quite expensive.

Wanted: Inexpensive 911, reliable and in running condition. Must be a coupe. No 996s.

If there’s a dissatisfied customer out there, I’d be happy to take their Cayenne TDI off their hands for a low, low buy-it-now price.

Looks like fun. Bet it’s a blast being a small ship guy — wonder what it was like on the hydrofoils and other small/fast patrol craft.

So how much are you up to in deductibles?

You seem to be laboring under the misapprehension that F1 is for the fans.

Where’s the BD-5? In both prop and jet versions it’s smaller than a number of the aircraft on your list, unless you’re using some strange definition of “small”.

Just to make you crazy, you can fill your own gas cans, and I’ve had attendants refuse to fill mine. You just can’t put gas in your car.

Yep, shooting nukes out your butt is definitely a crazy way to launch a spacecraft.

“High Speed” and “AAV” are seldom terms that collide in the same sentence.
