I was thinking that ford should do a general motorsports push and call it the "Ford Racing Expedition Effort". Then ford can FREE france at Le Mans and FREE places all around the world.

replacing a failed government agency with a hopefully more efficient one is an idea unthinkable in the US.

I award thee the peoples medal of missing the point.

The Stripes stay.

There are 3 different M4s at my College so this would be a good change of pace.

At least its not a spec series *yet* (Super GP2)

In b4 "Shelbylopnik" comments after the "hellcatlopnik" comments of the past weeks.

Us lowly peons just have to man up and watch a DVD or listen to an audiobook or music instead of Internet when flying.

I have not yet even flown on a flight with Wifi, complementary or otherwise.

Fighter vs. A10 is a false dilemma, The A10 is absolutely essential for keeping the men on the ground safe. The F15s and F22s are essential for keeping the A10s safe when the Migs, Sukhois and J10s show up.

In a straight line no less, cant even turn left.

Talvisota.

Robert Forczyk who is a historian and has written several books had some harsh words about Mr. Cooper in his review of "Deathtraps"

Whoever thought that "commonality" meant that the airframe should look similar should be court marshaled. If you had different ariframes suited to their respective tasks with common components like engines/ avionics you would have a good cost effective solution. But no, they had to have a VTOL, carrier capable, land…

Does this version of the F35 have a gun? AWACS, ECM, Chaff and flares are shields for everything except for a slug.

Just when you think being behind the car will protect your children from the air intake trying to eat them, the massive rear diffuser eats them.
