The F-22 would actually make a hell of a lot more sense for Canada’s service requirements, anyways. The F/A-18s do a more than serviceable job of CAS for Canada’s ground forces, and their big need is for a fast and long-range air-superiority system to cover the northern border.

Good for Canada. The JSF project has become a case-study in the runaway profligacy of the military industrial complex. Were this debacle occurring in the private sector it would have been axed a decade ago.

Wrecked...

That looks an awful lot like two counts of attempted vehicular homicide.

I found his camera work more disturbing than his yammering. Someone needs to take his camera phone away or paint over the lens or something...

For what it’s worth, other than getting your clutch engagement dialed in, I find manuals to be easier in real life.

Thank you. It’s killing me.

It’s a nice list, and I don’t think there can be any question that Penske’s #1, but no Newman-Haas?

I think I’d rather shoot one terrorist-sized duck.

It’s gonna take more than the Supreme Pontiff to redeem the 500L...

With aircraft carriers and landing strip islands in the middle of the ocean? Literally every plot element of this film seems to have been pulled directly from the pages of the People’s Daily.

In the article they make the argument that photo tourist dollars end up all going to the same communities: high-density and high-profile locations like the Okavango Delta or (presumably) Kruger in South Africa. Nobody (and no money) ends up going into rural Botswana.

Smaller and poorer villages such as Sankuyo don’t…

I’d be curious to see if there was a correlation between hunting bans and the rise of poaching by locals in these areas. If fees from hunting licenses were contributing to the local economy as potently as Ms. Kapata argues, the next most effective way to monetize the local wildlife would likely be ivory trafficking...

Somehow we seem to be coming full-circle, now... Anybody else remember this guy?

And cats are one of the few species that kill for fun...

Within visual range, the Typhoon would eat the F-35’s lunch.

Cities in China are kind of massive political units, more akin to counties in the US. As a result even mega cities such as Beijing also have vast tracts of farm land and seemingly rural countryside.

When the market was hot, building in these areas made a lot of sense, as one could reasonably expect the city to build…

This might’ve merited an NSFW tag... Russia’s Gen. 5 program might be a mess, but the SU-35 must be Gen. 4.9 or so.

My ex-wife was part of the Boeing team that sold that 737 to ROKAF.

(and ooh that A-10 is a dirty bird...)

I actually agree. I’m a fairly prolific anime fan, but I can’t quite make the leap to “Attack on Titan.”
