Your original argument centered on the fact that electric cars did not have enough range to be practical. I argue that current electric cars are practical as part of a 2 car family.

Or families that have 2 or more cars. I don't think its elitists to say that most families (since both parents work) have at least two cars.

I used to think that the drug dealers outran us all the time, until my surface Navy brothers set me straight.

Actually, over in Iraq right now, the Harriers did a lot of good work. They couldn't carry a lot, but they had a quicker transit and thus much higher sortie rate than the USN and USAF aircraft.

I don't have an issue with them. It's just good natured ribbing. I have an issue with you saying its not called TOP GUN, when it most assuredly is.

I was just saying that its still called TOP GUN. It

Well, I'm a graduate of CAEWWS, was an instructor at the East Coast Weapon school, and I just sent one of my junior officers to the TOP GUN controller course. (e2 NFOs can go as controllers).

The British officers I knew were all hoping the RN would buy the USN version of the F-35 too. The RN publicly funded the F-35B, but they were hoping that Parliament would fund 2 conventional carriers. If Parliament did, they would then change and buy the F-35C. Unfortunately, the UK ultimately bought 2 STOVL…

TOP GUN (notice all caps, 2 words...it's important) is still alive and well. Yes, it's part of a larger command now (NSAWC), but the class and purpose remain the same.

I re-read my post and I don't see how it could be construed as being a PR piece.

It's not all terrible. It's a perfect fit for USAF. It's an ok fit for the USN. It's a crucial fit for the USMC and Royal Navy. Now, you can argue that the USMC does not need a 5th gen STOVL fighter-bomber, that is a valid argument. However, if you subscribe to the theory that it does, then I would argue the USMC…

The survivability over the A-10 is due to the fact that the F-35's signature severely decreases the range of enemy sensors. Thus it can deploy a 500lb LJDAM from outside the enemy WEZ, but within the LJDAMs glide range.

The USAF actually has a doctrinal reason why they are trying to kill the A-10. The USAF believes that Close Air Support (CAS) is a poor use of air power resources.

We practice against this threat all the time. The Navy takes this threat very seriously and we have changed our weapons and tactics a lot over the last 8 years to be ready for an attack such as this.

Actually, most of carrier ops are a lot of fun. Day cats and traps are a great time... think the best amusement park ever. Night landings are not that scary, but you really don't have time to think about it because you have to focus. But the good think about night landings is that you're the master of your own…

This was the car that introduced Ford's "Edge" design philosophy. It came immediately after the oval design philosophy that led to the bubble Taurus.

There's no treaty on not weaponizing space. Just a treaty on not placing nukes in orbit.

Tyler, I am an Executive Officer for an E-2 squadron. We are in the same administrative chain of command as the C-2 community. (Both aircraft belong to Airborne Command and Control and Logistics Wing).

In game, potatoes are my food of choice...and I'm about the most anti-vegetarian person in real life. Why?
1. They grow fast 2. provide 2.5 units of health 3. are 1-1 food source (vice needing 3 wheat for 1 piece of bread for example).
