Anyone who would post that cartoon is pathetic, period.

I'm sure they messed with the colors here? It looks too good.

I think Japan has more Cobras than Apaches, (although I admit my source is wikipedia. )

How about aircraft!!

The author like to talk trash about these guys, as if he is 1) not a twerp and 2) has more cash than they do.

Yup.

What is the benefit of using propellers or turbopropellers as opposed to jets?

Yeah, it will work for pilots. However, for combat arms they just lower the standards to let women in.

Looking at these pictures, I am amazed that these planes came out in the 80's and were so far ahead of their time.

Did we have F-22's at cope? I think tyler should do an article on this...

It seems like the avionics, radar weapons, hud etc are all that matters.

haha

Not anymore we are not. China has a larger economy than us.

So with 11 carriers, only 3 are operational at any given time? If so, that is horrible readiness.

I remember doing my summer National Guard drill at Otis. A plane flew overhead and I am 99% sure it was a B1.

I recall an old show on gulf war 1 claiming that the enemy called it " the flying cross"

Are those kills represented by the stuck figures painted on the plane or something else?

Funny that they wanted to get rid of the effective and inexpensive gun and replace it with expensive, fancy smart bombs and missiles. They always do that. Same with the A-10, the LCS and ad infinitum.
