The only thing worse that getting orders to go ice camping has to be getting orders to get air dropped to go ice camping!

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse than hauling rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong.

Jalopnik is about the only thing I’ll miss when Gawker goes the way of the Kursk submarine.

.........“In hindsight perhaps buzzing the tower at Miramar wasn’t worth it.”

I want the few hours of sleep I lost back.

I’ve been a fan of F1 for almost 40 years, and this is angriest that I’ve ever been at the sport. I despise the fact that the racing has become a game of tire and fuel management to the largest extent in the modern era...and now this.

“The exercise will last five weeks.”

The Typhoon that went into service is the one that met the design parameters of the partners which were part of the program. France had long since decided to go it alone. There’s no reason what so ever that the Typhoon can’t be used for any role that would be needed, nuclear or otherwise. It’s just a matter of

No, France just expected to be able to take prime responsibility for the design. The Eurofighter partners were perfectly willing to design an aircraft that was suited to all roles needed. But of course once France dropped out of the project, there was no need to include French design parameters.

Muslims in the US are far more assimilated than countries like France and Britain. And to keep it that way, we need to make sure we don’t do anything stupid like have a major public figure tell them they’re all unwelcome.....oh, wait....

Ah yes, and the Americans caught Bin Laden the day after 9/11, right?

Well we don’t want to offend them so we better just wait until they start killing us instead.

The fact that the 100% Muslim Molenbeek neighborhood was obviously complicit in hiding him gives me serious concerns about the predominantly Muslim neighborhoods in the USA.

Way to go, Belgian police!

The plane was okay but the Exocet was game changing.

Max is back?!

My understanding was that the deck extensions at the end of the catapults were there to catch the straps so they could be reused:

Didn’t internal politics with the manufacturer also played a part? The Jaguar was a cooperative effort between BAC in the UK and Breguet in France. When Dassult took over Breguet they pushed their own design the Super Etendard ahead of the cooperative and therefore less profitable Jaguar?

“The aircraft has always had clear limitations— speed, payload and maneuverability being just a few”
