If ever there was a case for a Hi-Lo acquisition mix in the modern one-size-fits-all ‘waste-era’ of military aircraft procurement, re-fuselaged S-3s and new V-22s could possibly make great complimentary stable mates.

I think this is the third time I’ve seen this account written on FA/Giz/(i09 too??).

Both VanWagon and Ace are accurate, but so is “Toyota Van.” My parents had an ‘85 “Totota Van” (as all the owners manuals referred to it as) that was the first vehicle I learned to drive in the late ‘90s.

I’m a military pilot, and one of the dudes in my squadron survived an airplane crash and an ensuing rescue helicopter crash, both in one day. That was in his previous platform. I’ve flown with him and feel extra safe that statistically, he’s not going to crash again.

If you saw what not using a zero/zero ejection seat in a dire moment might do to a human body, you’d definitely reconsider...

Because of minds like yours and mine, they'll probably have some sort of verified bidder process, or maybe that auction site already has that (I've never bid on warbirds before...) to prevent it from hitting 9 figures by the end of the auction.

Being that’s a Herc he’s flying behind, I don’t doubt he’s on the unfavorable side of the F-35B power curve and hence at a higher AoA than his design cruise speed, but have you seen vortices like that in any other fighter during straight and level flight? Normally you only get that during maneuvering of some type, or

Check out that high wing loading in level flight...

You must mean like the CV-22s in Transformers which were filmed at Kirtland AFB (IIRC), or the C-17 filmed in *Name Any Recent Marvel/DC Movie* with DoD coordination, or the time sitting USAF Chief of Staff Gen. Ryan starred in a StarGate SG-1 episode, or the time in the movie Stealth where they filmed a huge prop on

Rumor has it that the space you’re pointing to has been taken over by an Apple Watch ad in the latest F-35 software block...

Don't waste too much energy, "Hi There" has reflexes too fast for anything to get over his head.

Don't forget the fact that he contacted the Tampa Bay Times newspaper before this happened, and they in turn contacted the White House...

Yep, just read that in JQP last week. I don't make it a point to keep tabs on other MAJCOM vice commanders, but JQP was probably the only source to give this any visibility, as I doubt Big Blue would like to publicly announce such firings...

Did someone order tacos?

If you're talking about visual aids to the EM spectrum, then it depends on what wavelength you're exploiting. Fog and moisture are very limiting for IR, but terrain following radar and millimeter wave radar would cut through that like a hot butter knife.

Depends on which service and branch.

"The MQ-4C['s]...controllers order it to descend down to two thousand feet to take full motion video of the burning ship with its MTS-B multi-spectral targeting system."

That's definitely treasonous...

Actually, looking at the footage from live leak of the entire strike, the fire truck clearly hit the main rotor blades, and it appears that the driver didn't even attempt to avoid it, probably because he was too focused on avoiding the tail rotor, which he did avoid.

You, my friend, have the most underrated comment of the year! Few can fully grasp the entirety of your statement.
