Can I suggest talking to Hayley Atwell about joining in. She just lost her job on Agent Carter and could use the exposure.

Times have changed. We thought it was funny when 2 classmates showed up on both sides of our class pic. The slow moving, long exposure camera allowed them to run around and get included on the other end of the pic.

That’s a C-17. A large plane in its own right but dwarfed by the C-5. Notice the winglets and very far forward engines.

I had a 2nd Gen RX-7 and NEVER had problem one with the engine. It’s true that it’s not a torque monster but then it was a VERY small motor. I think they’ve actually made a lot of improvements since the motor was last in production. As long as they can meet the emissions standards they ought to put it into a Halo car…

There’s only one real solution to end this BS once and for all, appoint an A-10 pilot as head of the Air Force, both uniform and civilian heads. I’m sure there are plenty of retired A-10 pilots to choose from for the civilian role.

It may be cheaper to purchase than an F-15E but it’s not as cheaper to buy or own as a F-16. And as far as capability, Tyler recently pointed out that precision weapon pods are an area where the Russians are really lacking. So it’s mainly dumb bombs are very expensive missiles for payload. Jordan is a poor country,…

It’s an interesting idea but I think you’d have to be really careful about it. Part of their income stream is servicing your car and getting it ready for sale. That’s something that could get out of hand pretty quickly. Also, most people are going to need their vehicle for daily use until they get another one and…

Of course our carriers don’t just sit still, they’re constantly on the move and can transit considerable distance within a day or so. They and their support ships also have considerable ability to defend themselves. And we’ve got more assets in the Gulf than you may realize. We take the threat of swarm small boat…

Our premier electronic warfare attack asset, the F-18G Growler, is already on the carrier in the Gulf. Other assets can be deployed in hours and days, not weeks or months. Don’t forget, we already have assets deployed and in use in Syria. We would be responding to an Iranian attack, not initiating a first strike…

Like I said, I think an Israeli attack on Iran is VERY unlikely.

I’m not saying that Iran doesn’t have the ability to attack US interests, whether that’s a ship or a base, etc. I’m simply saying that Iran probably understands that it’s not a Superpower. Attacking the US directly would require a direct response and the US does actually have the ability to penetrate and destroy any…

As you say, it’s really up to Iran whether the US would be brought in to such a conflict. I think the Iranians understand that directly attacking the US would guarantee US retaliation in force. Now a terrorist attack or two, that I could see, plausible deniability. I don’t think the Iranians would want to take on the…

I don’t believe Israel could deliver a crippling blow to Iran’s nuclear program even with bunker busting bombs. First, it wouldn’t be a surprise. The Iranians have anticipated such an attack for years. They’ve designed their program specifically to be hard to detect, reach and even destroy. I doubt we truly know the…

I think the conformal fuel tanks are a great idea but I think they’re going to be hard to pull off. Does Israel really have the expertise to design them? To be truly effective, they’ll need to be stealthy. If not, then what’s the point of having the F-35. The F-15s already have the range, just not the stealth.

I’m ok with the front end. They need to work on the back of the car. It’s too egg like for my tastes and the trunk opening sucks.

It was only part of an on-going conversation.

Only if you leave out the fact that their average transaction price is near $100k.

Of course HD has had an adventure bike before, the Buell XB12X Ulysses.

Sounds like a problem with that particular vehicle. Ford has tested the Mustangs on tracks and I doubt there’s anything wrong with the basic design. There’s always the option of upgrading the cooling as well if that’s needed in the Aussie climate.

Your timeline is wrong. The French dropped out of the project long before the Typhoon was even designed. The key sticking point was their INSISTENCE that they should have design lead on the project. The French got the design lead they wanted by simply going it alone and shouldering all the costs themselves. I doubt…
