You do realize that Eastern airlines is back right? and those planes are not that old.

Yes if they were re-engined they would be more fuel efficient but its not necessary. The B-52 has great range already and the cost savings from fuel burn would not equal the costs on new engines over the remainder of its service life.

NASCAR does suck. It does not advance the world of Motorsports in technology or excitement.

they barely have any fucking computers

Thats a normal response for jeep owners. If its stupid keeping doing it!

Out of the six VW/Audi engines I have had there have been zero major problems. From 1995 to present. A few V6's and some 2.0T’s. If most people properly maintained their cars maybe they would preform better over time.

VW has some of the worlds best power train engineers so why wouldn’t they want to go after another opportunity for success?

And Hillary has not answered any questions in over 200+ days.

This article was absolutely terrible.

That makes it TWO people who asses are going to be sore

Why dont we just buy more F-16's then if you post a picture of a non stealthy F-35. External weapons negate all the stealth benefits and add tons of drag. The F-16 is cheaper and in production why many upgrade possibilities.

So if you give a solider or marine the choice of an A-10 or B-1 for CAS what percentage do you think would favor the A-10? I bet the large majority.

This is much more of a political problem then a military problem. The issue is allocation of resources for most European countries. Although many of those countries have obtained smart weapons and the platforms to deliver them, they simply don’t have the numbers necessary. Aircraft like the Gripen and F-16 which are…

can you please link me to that fact? it sounds interesting, I would like to know where those pockets are.

The best thing to support a Marine on the ground is another Marine in the air. Another half assed solution from the DOD

One other thing is age. People keep their guns longer then they would any phone or digital watch usually. How effective will this electronic watch, sensor or whatever be in 30 years?

I used those figures just to give a representation of procurement costs associated with different programs. Russian missile technology can certainly be described as crude but at the end of the day it is *usually* effective. The more planes you can afford and weapons you can put on them will slow an enemy’s advance to…

The F-18 and F-15 have gone on for a long time because they are effective. both aircraft have served as bomb trucks for our foreign wars recently and have had great success. If we look at the Advanced Super Hornet and latest F-15 versions with fly-by-wire tech and stronger electronic offensive and defensive systems…

The F-22 was only allowed by law to be procured by the USA. Although other countries like Japan wanted to purchase the F-22.

SirUno is correct. It is the USS Decatur (DDG-73)
