So then how does a 3 foot high car go about flipping over a 12 foot+ high bus while swerving into it? Because in the world of physics the car would just smash into the bus and stop.

I actually never minded Dulles for the 7 months I was up there and the 5+times I went there either to fly out or pick up my girlfriend for the weekend. I preferred it to Reagan actually since.

Why would we give the Army CAS? The USMC is a self sufficient being that utilizes all aspects in and of itself, hence the MAGTF. We have to have our own CAS just as we have to have our own DAS, EW and AA defense. But I agree that we could benefit from the A-10 especially if they could ever find a way to get it to…

For the USMC? No. We have C-130s. Plus our F18s don't usually go on carriers. They fly to where they're going.

The want for this as a personal vehicle is so high. I guess I'll start saving now for when they're available in 20 years.

And how would you justify the military establishing these complexes that would required a high amount of security in a foreign country? Let alone breaking them down to bring back.

Pay for the shipping from Hawaii and it's yours.

Not necessarily. I have a fallen angel (ex F18 pilot) in my Aviation Supply Officer class and he never deployed on a carrier. Marine fixed wing flies wherever they're going and hop to get fuel or aerial refuel. He's flown from the East Coast to Japan and never touched the deck of a CVN.

I'm sorry I live in a rainy climate and don't like to get the things I haul in my bed to get soaked or stolen. But please continue to tell me how a tonneau cover makes my truck useless.

Well yea just look at the graphics and CGI in this. That scene in the beginning is clearly a giant green screen it's pathetic.

Surprisingly pilots aren't fast tracked like you would think. Most will hit O-3 on track and hang out there either until there contract is up or there is a slot open for O-4. And since O-4 is typically either OpsO or XO that leaves 2 billets open against the 10+ guys in squadron trying to promote. Granted this is a…

Why risk rocket and mortar attacks on multi million dollar command suites teeming with top secret information when you can keep it safely at home away from the fight and it can accomplish the same mission? I get that you want the pilots to get the feeling of actually being at war but let's be honest. None of these…

I agree it should at least be removable and preferably easily removable. Take it off and throw it in the bed when off-roading and throw it back on when driving home.

I know it's for fuel economy but the other brands are no where near as large as GMs. My trucks front bumper is no where near as large as the comparable GM.

I agree about the front bumpers which have been an issue with GM trucks in the past few generations. I don't why they insist on dragging its chin in the dirt. It's like no one at GM has heard of an approach angle before.

Let's be real here. The craziest thing ever shoved into an airplane was Little Boy and Fat Man. Brand new technology never tested in this application flying over a hostile a country and the ability to kill hundreds of thousands instantly and many more over the next couple decades. Plus it had to be armed in flight…

Get that garbage out of here.

Actually, military HMMWVs don't have CTIS. They just have the ability to have it.

Having ridden in the back of the Osprey a few times now I can say that the feeling when the nascelles turn from vtol to plane mode is an awesome feeling of acceleration. And the maneuvers you can do it are equally as awesome.

I doubt it could because of the thinner air I would believe that would mean it can't produce enough lift in vtol mode. Same reason why helos now don't go up to that height. It's easier to fly than it is to hover at those altitudes.
