If there’s a mattress in the road, is it safe to just run over it?

but Kiowa pilots are certified NUTS! WWI pilots were just drunk

“But this is like cut 847 of death by a thousand cuts.”

No, it’s not.

There are plenty of tankers and transports that would be happy to have you.

I’ve avoided attacking Tyler for publishing hyperbole because I earned a lot of backlash last time, having said that you are spot on. This is ridiculous. This isn’t an issue for the F-35 program and isn’t important in any way whatsoever. The military stipulates physical requirements for many jobs, this is manufactured…

Yeah, this seems like a non-issue to me. There are height and weight requirements for roller coasters too.

All you need now is a tiny top hat and a bow tie.

So what better…

Yes, true...but the plane flies. It’s all up to the software engineers now. It’s called the “internet jet” for a reason. Once Boeing, Lockheed, and BAE get the software for das, eots, and the weapons systems straightened out, we’ll never fight wars the same again. This thing will be an information node. It will be…

Its the marines fault that lockhead, the navy and the air force agreed to share a single design philosophy? You are being very disengenuous. While the marines are getting the plane that they wanted (for the first time since the harrier), solely blaming them for the fact that the AF and Navy wanted design parity to…

Go a bit further back and look at the F-16. It got bad bad press in the ‘80s to the point HBO did a tv movie about it. Now its one of the most successful fighters out there.

Oh yes WIB, they’re not biased at all.
