You think it’s bad now? They went public, so get ready for pressure to perform on a quarterly basis. You’re gonna see ‘market expansion’ strategies with new model lines and more economical trim. And the only thing worse than no profit improvements are quarterly losses; I.e risk aversion. If it ain’t broke... they…

Those pics are certainly better. But honestly, in hindsight now, even the one on the right seems a bit sub-par and underwhelming in a way. Funny I didn’t think so when it came out but now... seems... scrawny?

Thing was ugly as sin wasn't it?

While I agree in principle, and I’m really no fan of JSF, thats a bit nieve and short-sighted of them. Because it means they’re excluding themselves by default. What if Toronto gets hit with a 9/11 style attack and ISIS says ‘yeah that was us, come at me bro.’ Then what? Canadians are still people (who knew?). They’ll…

I was gonna make a snide joke about ‘looks’ and capability but it was widely rumored that in the end, ‘looks’ beat Boeing for JSF in the first place. Wonder why...

I thought the F-35 was bad news for the F-35 program.

I had one in the Pacific and one in the Atlantic. The Pacific one drew on a map I have that highlighted his voyages. Need to scan that one day.

Agreed. As long as they keep their historically tyrannical-rapey-imperialistic ways in the past and on their own borders, neither of my USN serving late grandpapy’s will be rolling too much in their graves.

But I believe Tiger.

Agreed, I don’t think that aspect is for show since at that altitude they’d have maybe 5 seconds to evade anything. But the whole Op. certainly is. I also don’t get how they can suddenly have all these ‘ISIS’ targets when for others ISIS seems harder to find.

Not to joke about things so serious but it’s almost like they’re trying to clear through some old munitions before the ‘use by’ date expires.

I think so more and more, but I do wish we had a higher res image. The shadows are mostly believable on the front row, but too harsh from the second row out. I think there’s something fuzzed on the top of the second tractor cab. Of course could all be bad pixels. Someone who debunks this stuff (like the PRK submarine…

Thank you. I tend to find myself typically surrounded! (Present company excluded.)

Yeah if they went to the trouble you’d think they would do more. But then maybe that would cover up the infinite missile convoy.

Is it just me or do those troops look photoshopped? A bit 2-d somehow.

This 100%. Being able to text instead of trying not to hit a bumper for 30 minutes will be nice.

Because in business no opinion matters until someone writes a check.

This drone would have been FOD for MH17. I think a missile would have obliterated it. Unless it was that cute little mini-missile from the Army expo post.

Yeah my first thought after seeing the pic was ‘wait, that’s the drone?’ I know it’s not the ‘size’ that matters of course, but still. I expected something a bit bigger.

Re: hellhound. Love the look but effects lighting looks like a tuner kid did it. Wonder what woofers it's got? (Kids still call em woofers? I'm old.)
