Cool, thanks.

Cool, thanks.

Ohhhhhhh, cool, thanks! Always wondered.

Tyler: On the Hornet, what's the purpose of the thin, green lights on the tail and under the cockpit on the forward fuselage? I assume they are there to give deck personnel and those in the conning tower a visual reference for the jet in night time ops, but they seem to only be on when the jet is directly on the…

Mmmhmm... Enjoy your life in your white castle, reading the Times, and living in a cocoon of misinformation.

I know all I need to from what you've written above (and know yet more by your inability to respond to my screed.) You're a self-proclaimed erudite living, ironically, in a white castle. I feel bad for you, I really do.

By the way, looking again at this post - my skin color carries with it the risk of being shot not unlike anyone else. My conduct determines how I will be treated and if and when I will be shot. If I resist arrest, flee and elude, and/or do something that would cause a police officer to justifiably use deadly force…

Sorry, again, but no one has fed me anything. They're not "talking points," but, rather, correct terms that apply to people like you. Good on you for supposedly not having a narrative in your head and allegedly using information from all different sources, but your view on reality - I assume that cops are racist and…

I'm not regurgitating anything; rather, I'm also basing my posts on personal experiences and, just as importantly, a common sense view of the country. I haven't got a small, closed, pitiful view on the world. To the contrary, I see the world with a more realistic view than you. You see only the racism and hatred…

Spare me your plea for sympathy and attempt at pushing forward white guilt.

Worship? No. Appreciate? Yes. I doubt your job carries with it it the risk of being shot and killed just for the clothes (uniform) you wear.

HA, the book I was referring to was an aviation encyclopedia, too! I knew all the stats and stuff as well. My encyclopedia covered all planes, past and present. I believe it had helos, too. I will try to remember to find it tonight and I'll post the title/author. I couldn't find anything on Google just now. Too…

Same here. But Tyler responded to me regarding the Viper name. Check out the link he included.

Thanks, Tyler.

I'm a long-time military aviation geek, but I don't know how the F-16 Fighting Falcon became known amongst fighters as the "Viper." Can you enlighten me, Tyler? Thanks.

No such thing.

I really hope these renders are wrong/off. It looks no different. I understand no fixing what isn't broken, but for fuck's sake...

My thoughts exactly.

Agreed. When I saw it was coming out as a movie, I had mixed emotions. While I will see it, despite knowing everything about his ordeals from the book, my initial reaction was, "How can they fit THAT much into a movie AND do his remarkable life justice?" Then I saw that Jolie was directing it and I was even more…
