I don’t get the hate they aren’t for everyone but for someone that is towing a big boat or race car trailer and is bringing the family it works very well. I used to love going to any of the big Mustang dragraces and seeing a bunch of these towing the racecars.

Makes me miss night fires when I was in the Army. The night I qualified with the rest of my battery on the M240B and M249 we set a small fire on the range @ Fort Sill LOL.

Misses Albuquerque...FAIL!

That is called EST 2000 (Engagement Skills Trainer) I remember going to it at the start of BRM @ Fort Sill during BCT.

IIRC that is 160th SOAR(A) "RAZOR 01" the MH-47 downed during the battle of Takur Ghar.

Great post and thanks for your service!

Standard Missile can be fired in ASuW mode in fact USS Simpson (FFG 56) did so with 4 SM-1 missiles during operation preying mantis.

Its nothing new the US military fought this battle before with Operation Preying Mantis and Prime Chance . The use of armed helicopters to counter small boats.

I think its not a big issue if the LCS comes into the fleet and the CVBG is backstopped with Cobras/Apaches for coverage.

Which makes me wonder would a LHA with SeaCobras/Vipers be a worthwhile addition to Persian Gulf bound CVBGs.

Damn that is horrible. Makes me leery of my wife and I plan to move from NM back to her hometown in PA. In NM we deal with the DMV or a DMV express companies that charges $15 or $20 and will have shorter lines.

Makes me want to work for the DMV just so there is one car person that would be competent. I am always surprised at the fact that DMV people know almost nothing about cars beyond what shows up in their systems.

Give me a L22A2 and I will take this job!

not just the control surfaces improved shell design, improved powders. I wonder if Navy guns are base bleed which increases the range immensely.

Or just take the 168 A-10s out of mothballs @ AMARC.

^ Exactly Here in NM there is only one county in the whole state with emissions testing/requirement for registration.

Why would you post that :,( WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY GODDDD WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is impressive. I love F-16s and miss seeing NM ANG flying them.

I would assume cops from places with no emissions laws don't have a local law to ticket a "coal rolling" truck with.

That is such a shame I wish more would have become static displays.
