Yeah, the terms of the contest will dictate the winner, even though they may have no relation to the current CAS role, or the way the F-35 is intended to be used to fulfill that role, which yes, is different from how the A-10 fulfills it.

Loiter time, for example, the A-10 would win. But, it’s no longer necessary when…

At no small price, either. It’s not as easy as pulling off the wings and bolting new ones on. The entire wingbox needs to be inspected, and not all of them are going to pass that inspection. So, many of the airframes won’t even qualify for the new wings.

Wings, yes, pilot’s tub, no. That’s titanium.

What about the part where the airframes are falling apart and are all well past their rated lifespans? You don’t think maybe that has a role in this?

Oh, wait, silly me. I interrupted the Armchair CAS Pilot Circlejerk meeting. Carryon.

The canon significantly affects the aircraft’s CoG. It likely wouldn’t be airworthy without it or a similar amount of weight in the nose.

Considering they would have to have the GAU-8 removed in order to be sold to civilians, which would render it completely un-flyable considering how much that cannon affects the CoG of the aircraft, I wouldn’t get your hopes up.

It might be possible to do some kind of lead-weight conversion, but I wouldn’t expect the…

Not sure if it’s still the case now that both Jaguars and the Men’s Club have shut down, but for a while there just a few years ago, we were #1 in both Strip Clubs and Breast Implants per capita in the US.

I live in Dallas, and know several doctors, it’s very true.

Also, learn to take a fucking joke, you pedantic buzzkill.

I giggled.

I’ve literally seen just one, and it was nowhere near NYC, so I’m pretty sure it packs wormhole technology under the hood.

Dallas Doctors need everybody to know they’re a doctor. This doesn’t qualify. We may like sleepers, but Dallas High Society demands that everybody else knows that they make over a quarter-mil a year.

As someone who actually lives in Dallas, I’ve never actually seen an ELR in person. Texans that buy Cadillacs want Caddy V8s. Doctors can afford not to care about the environment, and the Bush Turnpike screams for a V8 and wide-open-throttle anytime after dark.

As a Dallasite myself, I can promise you that the only one of these that’s gonna actually work around here is the Caddy.

Don’t get me wrong, they’re all great, even though I’m not personally a Maserati fan — but there’s still plenty of traditional thinking when it comes to “Doctors Cars” around here, and since nobody…

The ladies like guys who don’t make up stories and fake grievances, so I’d say I do pretty well. You?

It’s slightly more demeaning to OP if we assume he’s being disingenuous, whether true or otherwise.

Yes, MSIs are for installing applications, not features. Windows Features are similar to Server Roles; they aren’t packaged in an MSI, and don’t have a payload. Thus, they don’t use Windows Installer. You’re wrong, here, and you don’t seem to understand the difference between Windows Applications and Windows Features.

…

An uninstaller is a separate program that executes a payload. This is integrated into windows, and does not have a payload. Uninstallers are considered third-party software.

But nice pivot. Let’s talk again about the fact that you don’t know how to disable windows features, mister “I work with computers”. Guess what —…
