AF-01 the first 35 successfully fired an AIM-9x today for the first time.

If your a Furtada.

Gates started in 2006 under Bush...who’s kept us safe? 9/11 and 5,000 American soldiers lives for what?

Car loans are simple interest and legally there can be no refinance/buyout fees on a purchase.

This one is only two inches shorter than the s-class though and interior wise is likely as good or better... Got give those Chinese there leg room.

B.O.A.T. = break out another thousand dollars. These days it should change to BOAST the s stands for several.

I don't think we have an airstrip in Syria... Link?

The 22 was designed to have several layers of stealth and avionics. They have RCS amplifiers and carry external tanks when near by adversaries. The avionics have several layers from 4th gen simulation all the way up to full war fighting mode. The RWR system is passive and is the best advantage the 22 has.

I’ll agree that the two mayors brown fighting and delaying the bridge was stupid and dangerous. Most of the east span is in fact a causeway and the cable stayed tower is not as viewable or as majestic as it could have been but I still like it.

Right about the range but the 35 is marketed as being able to carry roughly 18,500 pound of weapons.

True the 35 has more range than any fighter besides the f-15e and even that is close.

It's there job.

50 percent reduction in detection range is not going to happen with the SE maybe 20 percent less Head on.

Agreed...silent eagle would have a reduced RCS but no where near LO the body shaping on the eagle is just wrong for stealth. The f-18 had some stealth shaping and the SH quite a bit more. SH is the third most stealthy fighter but still about a thousand times larger RCS than 22 or 35. In a budget free world it would…

Bush and gates in effect cancelled the f-22, maybe if we hadn’t wasted all that money in Iraq and had the Great Recession not been caused by bush policies we would have been able to buy more.

Our only allies who wanted it were Australia, Japan, and Israel. Only Japan could afford it and we didn’t want to buy them for Israel.

They are expensive and rare, moving them all is wasteful. Also they have an assigned defense mission at their home base.

That's a Su-34.

Akutan is quite far from “Alaska” and the plane took off from a carrier not land.

The ugly one is in the back and now gone. To each their own I guess but it was certainly an improvement.
