Laz, not one person in 100 will know what you are talking about. I'm the one. You make two.

On another subject.... What's up with the F15s on the ramp? Is this also a Air Guard/Reserves base?

Something similar happened here in Utah a year or so ago. Two kids blew thru the gate and crashed into a dumpster. Also took out a 8" gate post. Our flightline is completely fenced off. Highly unlikely a civvy car can get past the fence. The only sure thing is that base commander is now history.

Mini-Fanatic, You are a perfect example of why some people (you) should just ride buses. You can't think of a single thing your Mini mechanic ever did yet you kept going back to him. You don't even know what year car you drive. What is wrong with you, dude? I think you deserve whatever happens to you.

Gillette Mach 3 is all you need. Remember that SNL skit with the 25+ blade razor. This thing reminds me of that. Soon you’ll shave with a blade pack the length of a cross country ski.

No, I don't "notice Huddle’s arm on Chepkirui’s chest." I see her about a foot aheahead and clearly in first place. Oh I know, this is all about the white devil trampling on the po black person.

Just key up your CB channel 17 to smudge their RF Comm.

LOS, ha. My line of sight where I work is 50+ miles. But, pulleys and magnets? Have you ever seen a WWII Battleships gun director computer? Quite accurate for something with wheels, electric motors, gears, chains, and number rolls. Humongous, too.

Damn, Sky RAIDER. Sorry.

As long as we are dreaming, how about a $1000 guidance package on a dumb bomb dropped from a reconditioned A1E Skyhawk? Seems like that might the perfect aircraft in the the sand pits of hell. I know, props aren’t sexy but I bet the Army and Marines would be happy as hell to provide their own CAS instead of relying on…

Good points, Red, but even with that complete airspace control you talk about won’t eliminate a guy in a pickup truck driving within range and firing. Aircraft are incapable of defending against rocket attacks such as these. Iron Dome can. It’s a close in defense weapon. And we don’t have one.

“demonstrator flying by 2018.” Dude, the damn thing is already flying. Or at least something that looks like it.

I'd guess 12 while it was in D. Speed unimportant.

Crescent, yeast, poppy seed, tootsie, (in the) hay, Royce, hard, soft, tongue, fruit, down hill, need I go on?

Mike, my part of the country. Salisbury. And Wilmington.

I think that's where/how I saw it. Crappy audio, silly acting, great MST3K commenting.

Yep.

No, Delm, wind tunnels simply test the aerodynamic form derived from the requirements. Actually, a bit of what you said is true, aerodynamics drives the form. If you want an aircraft to fly at Mach 4 then that requirement will drive the design of the aircraft to achieve that aerodynamic ability. Step one is to have a…

As I said, first function drives design. First function, or design requirement, is to do it fast, and in that they both excel. Delivering bombs or taking pictures will always fail without meeting or exceeding that first requirement.

Other than watching a classic century fighter at George AFB in the 50s, what a stupid movie.
