When will people be able to live without fear of other people?

The Cobra was developed from Huey’s by the Army in Vietnam. The Apache was the advanced replacement for the Cobra. The Marines are on a tighter budget and upgraded the Cobra, but the Apache is superior in a modern battlefield.

Tilting the whole aircraft as a mass is much simpler than tilting the rotors while keeping the airframe relative to the ground.

here are powerful factions in that both countryies that are fuming over that deal, and that is a dangerous thing.

Really good call from the commander of the Truman on this one. Although the rocket landed less than a mile away, hotter heads have, in the past, led to awful decisions.

Russia could have a tug boat tow the rocket to within 500 yards, no doubt. China could buy a tug boat from Russia with the promise of turning it into a floating casino and then use it to tow a rocket to within 350 yards so long as Russia will sell China an engine for their new knockoff tugboat.

STOVL isn’t for combat...its for deployability.

Because of KISS. Tilt-rotors are complicated machines and the rotation mechanism is heavy, if you do away with it completely that’s one less system you have to maintain and you can increase your payload and fuel capacity. The footprint of the aircraft on deck is also reduced so you can have more on-board.

Oh the irony if the USMC, after compromising the entire F-35 program for a capability that will never be used in combat, decides to go with unmanned fixed wings.

Maybe she backed something else up 😮

The check cleared.

Dunno. I voted for Obama and sometimes I wonder wtf he's doing so many snl tv show type of appearances.

Oh god, who let Germany build a superior tank again?

I would say the much higher likelihood is that by virtue of being a lawyer, she may think her and her husband should be able to do/have whatever the fuck they want. Full disclosure: I’m a lawyer, and most of them are A-type assholes who think at least to some degree that they should be able to whatever the fuck they…

This may not be romantic, but it does make sense to me. The judicial system is not like a religious court that can issue an annulment.

I’ll admit, for a fraction of a second after reading the headline I thought “Lesbians have an Air Force?”

Look at what we did from when the Wright flyer flew to this - what, 61 years or something? Now look at the SR-71 to now. I would love some of that old time inspiration and ingenuity to hit the world again.

I came Russian in here to make a similar joke.
