The Russian aircraft that intercepted the US aircraft in international airspace did not follow ICAO rules, thus was dangerous. ICAO rules spell out procedures to safely identify an unknown aircraft, which should be followed by both aircraft.

And somehow they win. I remember having Mech infantry and it being defeated by pikemen or a phalanx. I rage quit and started a new save game LOL.

this was taken in downtown fayetteville, nc, was driving my land cruiser too, that’s when you’re hoping the guy driving isn’t a twitchy PTSD looking for terrorists

I’m a Canadian who used to serve in the CF Signals Corps with a Top Secret security clearance. And I have to say that Foxtrot Alpha is one of the best, no THE best site for news and information. I like to think that I have a good nose for bullshit and nothing here stinks of propaganda. What comes out of Russia,…

In the late 90’s a close friend, who was a US Army AH-64D Apache pilot, explained to me that the Army Aviation community petitioned for the creation of a helicopter demonstration team, focused primarily on the Apache, but including the Blackhawk, Kiowa Warrior and Little Bird as well. . The Army concluded that the…

The Global median is 65%, that is 65% of the world view the U.S. favorably.

You know, I continually hear this from the trolls on the Gawker sites. Why do you think we in the U.S. dont know whats going on in the rest of the world? I really honestly want to understand that, because it drives me nuts. Do some people in the U.S. not understand/give a shit/care about international politics? Of…

Rather than respond to your silly equating of the quality and objectivity of Russian reportage with US media, and charmingly baseless assertion that most of the world hates the U.S. and its citizens, I want to reply solely to your empirically incorrect accusation that Tyler “regurgitate[s]” other reports.

I work full time looking to call BS on the DoD where it actually exists. Neither Russia or the US are completely innocent in this regard, far from it, but the Russian media machine is an entirely different animal. If you think this is bias analysis so be it, but I would read through my work, I think you will find it…

Just a fun play on all those car buying posts, relax.

imagine if he caught the wire!!!

My uncle races in Reno. He owns and races a suped up Hawker Sea Fury and has raced a friends Grumman Bearcat. I’ve seen all of those planes you posted up close and they are amazing thoroughbreds

I thought I would know all these, having grown up in Tomcat Country (Virginia Beach, VA), but I only recognized the last couple. The Flanker GIF for the Bolter is a winner.

That is not how I understand it at all. They get the best deal with the STOVL end, quite the opposite, they never wanted the Super Hornet.

Give me a break! Marine Air is no place to look for raw logic when it comes to procurement. They are the biggest F-35 offenders of them all. They never bought an A-10, they skipped the Super Hornet and a large portion of the legacy hornet fleet sits cannibalized on ramps at your local MCAS.
