Towing? This is why you guys should let FA die. If your “journalists” don’t know the extremely common and correct terminology why even write about it? You even use the correct term in the article. It’s like putting a burger on the grill and saying it’s stir-fried. That’s called a sling load by the way and is a long…

Have you seen those Russian dashcam crash videos? I’m staying away from those dumbshits.

Discussion is needed when the facts are known so that action can be taken that will have a measurable impact.

Because there was frankly nothing that could have been done to stop this. This was a case of a man who had a clean record, with both a concealed carry permit, and a private security license(Read: repeated background checks). He’d been investigated repeatedly by the FBI, who turned up nothing. He acted alone, and did…

Haha, yeah. I mean, other than ignoring that it is operational with the Marines...

China is falling behind in jet engine technology using engines designed in the soviet era.

I’m seeing a president defending Islam under the guise of seeking the middle road. “Radical Islam” is not a political talking point, it’s a fact. Our enemy are those who are compelled to violence by a literal interpretation of their religious text.

This guy. It’s called compartmentalization.

Can we stop misquoting the price of the F-35? 1.5 trillion is the estimated operational over ITS ENTIRE LIFE. Not the cost of development.

Yes they do. Here’s just a portion of the text they voted to keep classified:

Wow, it didn’t take long for FTA to go to shit and become a political blog for Gawker wannabe journalists. Using logic like “well the B-2 has not been shot down yet so all of these security measures are unnecessary” is 1) a logical fallacy, and 2) the sign of someone seriously deficient in critical thinking. I guess…

By disclosing the cost of a program, you can make estimates on requirements and what will be involved in meeting those requirements. You can figure out the entire supply chain and where and how development will occur. If program cost details are published, it’s easier to steal data. Shit like manufacturing techniques,…

Airplane costs, in general, scale decently with size. Especially at this point in the program, where all the DoD is doing is scaling based on the F-35 and other programs with fairly public development and flyaway costs, divulging cost will let people who we don’t want to know what’s happening to know something about…

Well done, even though you don't have a dollar figure to complain about, you still found a way to complain! Wouldn't it be great if writers could design a next generation fighter/bomber/anything?

no way is that g lock. he’s not really pulling much in the maneuver. it’s a steepish ascent, sure, and there are some rolls in it. but anyone who has been to a show know the solo planes do that move after every single pass. given he was heading up and then looked to be in a freefall, i’m going to guess either control…

I’m not sure if that was meant to be taken that way.. I read it more as “now he’s an angel” in a warm kind of way.. You know, to look over his family and all, etc.

Just like everywhere else in the Air Force, the F-35 moves to the front of the line!

Hey kid, want to try some surveillance?

I’m still rolling my eyes at the article’s comment that “...this crash is not apparently tied to the Thunderbird crash...”

Make crashes great again.
