no way! it’s a mental health issue; nothing to do with guns.

“Persistence is often mistaken for pure intelligence, and it’s unfortunate (if not tragic) that the two get confused so often.”

That is certainly true.
But it bugs me when we point to these disasters as systemic failures of the systems.
The first loss was completely preventable. (They went WAY overboard on risk to meet economics-based schedules; a real no-no.)
The second should have been preventable, but wasn’t. (Gee, if one of those tiles gets…

Our “reusable” systems were only reusable in name. The whole giant gas tank was not reusable. The solid rocket boosters were, but the cost to recycle them was enormous. So yeah, reusable, but not economically so. And the whole point of reusable is to help contrel costs, right? At a billion plus per launch, it’s hard…

you mean the silly conspiracy theory

Sort of like this mini-thread, since there was really no confusion at all...

One word: co$t.
Before you see a 6th gen, you’ll see the F-22 back in production. It will happen...

No “Mission Accomplished” sign either...

Landing on a carrier is impressive. So is delivering a bomb on target, or shooting a target out of the sky. These are important milestones. But these accomplishments are comparable to shadow boxing or using a punching bag. It’s a lot different when you go up against another boxer. Far, far, far different. Until that…

To be fair, it did sort of come across as a shot at the Dems, with the implication that a Republican presidency would set things right. If that was the case, I would disagree. If I misinterpreted it, then I tip my hat.

How much time was left? Like 8 minutes? And that tied the game. A good team can overcome adversity. It was a major screw-up to be sure, but they had time to get it right. If they couldn't do that, then they didn't deserve to win.

Fantastic images- the old bird never looked so good!!

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy...

That is the coolest shot of a B57 I've ever seen.

Battle of Britain was won by British Hurricane fighters.

I don't know if is was a failure per se. The limitations of the Allison engine it had before were well known. It got built to be a low-level attack plane.; it even had an attack designation - A-36. I think that the amazing performance improvement brought about by adding the merlin was more a pleasant surprise, than…

I liked the idea that my GM had a warranty like that. Not sure what I'll do next...

please...
