I think they are pretty cool...

So why, then, should Malaysia keep its feet on the ground if four Indonesian pilots escaped injury while stunt flying?

No, only a total of about 500 people killed, through a disappearance likely effected by the pilot of one aircraft and an act of aggression by Russian forces for the other. He was obviously referring to the Malaysian Airlines planes lost recently, and the fact that it's insensitive to make "haw haw u bad at flying"…

I still use my "Steady Eddie" soda can suction cup that I bought on the boat. Steadfast was a good boat. As for that guy, hey sometimes people just want to list their accomplishments to a captive audience. HITRON was one of my favorite tours in aviation, who wouldn't miss shooting a 50 cal at moving targets? Thanks…

The problem is the helicopters. Only certain airframes are capable of what SOF commanders want. For example, occasionally our air support would be a couple of Blackhawks. They're officially called the "DAP" variant (we called 'em DERPS). No troop carrying capability, but stubby wings loaded with Hydras, Hellfires,…

I didn't forget about AFSOC, I just choose not to mention them ;) If I say something derogatory about the AF ignore me. Im just trying to give 'em a little ribbing. In all reality, the AF turns out amazing operators. PJ school is the longest training pipeline in the US military. There's also the fact that even…

we'd luckily gotten our elk the night before

ABSOLUTELY love this!! Delivering pain in 4000 pound increments... When I was in the AF my dorm was almost directly across the street from the night time test stands. Others hated it, I loved it and the smell.. oh to have those days back!!

More B-1 goodness:

I have stood alongside runways as B-1s blasted off for training missions and one phrase can describe it: Loud as f@#k. Four General Electric F101s in full blower pushing a big gas and bomb container along the runway is pretty outrageous

The only exports from Russia are gas, shitty cars, even shittier military hardware, and PROPAGANDA. So sorry if you cannot see through all the next level bullshit you're fed from russian media aka Putin's lie machine. Kim Jong Un is even amazed at the level of bullshit the russian government keeps shoveling.

The F-22 has outstanding low speed handling, it will fly a heck of a lot slower than that poor old Bear, during the Raptor Demo they make a slow speed pass at about 85 kts IAC. That nonsense about having to light up to accelerate with the Bear is also not applicable as the Raptor will "supercruise" to 1.6+ Mach on…

Yes, and it worked for every single Mig-29 that ever faced an F-15 in combat. Surely the Mig pilot was confused by the "propaganda" as he was bailing out, or in some cases, just maneuvering straight into the ground.

Yeah, the Mig-29 laughs about an F-15, every time they were shot down, every time they faced an F-15.

Ever heard of MiG? You're clearly a dumbass.

F-22 with fly-by-wire and computers plus vector thrust can do high angle-of-attack maneuvers. Maybe not as good as planes with front canards, but pretty darn well.

LMAO.

Why stop there?

Yeah, to be fair, the nuclear bear is raiding its neighbors garbage, so its making a fucking nuisance of itself.
