eraser_tr Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 In looking for a side by side comparison I had seen earlier of the F-14D, FA-18E and SU-33, I came across a little bit about how in afghanistan, the super bombcat was outperforming the superbug. I said it before, since when has cost mattered for the military? How many billions are we up to in iraq and afghanistan, but we can't afford to fix the navy's best interceptor?

Speaking as someone in the military yes costs matter. Maint hours to cost is a big thing now. You have no clue how some are operating on little budgets. My CP is a prime example.
gerald14 Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 F-14 is the best jet ever made by the USA and too bad Iran is going to retried them also because United States is no longer helping Iran for spare parts and etc. Long Live the Tomcat!!!!
eraser_tr Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 (edited) So we can't afford to repair planes, we can't afford armor for humvees or kevlar vests for soldiers; Where the hell is the money going? Indeed, the tomcat will never be retired on my hard drive. or at least until an F-22N is in service :P Edited June 14, 2007 by eraser_tr
+Wrench Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Since when Iraq is spelled with a g??? A purposefull misspelling...I let my personal perjudices into my finger tips when having anything to do with Middle-Easterners. I know it aint' PC, ...like I've ever cared about that.... but in the automotive industry...well, 'nuf said! Know too many people that were/are over there. General psychology of the 'de-humanization' of the enemy. If you denegrate them, they aren't the same as you. etc, etc, etc. Also, in the manner of targets, you might be finding yourself running a recon over one the oldest cities in the world.... ...yup, I've even added the ruins of Babylon! What I'm still trying to find, is a place to put the bunker where Sadam hid all the Kuwaiti gold.... and I'll need a Humve with 3 guys, and footballs with C4 taped to them.... Wrench Kevin Stein
+FOTF Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 or at least until an F-22N is in service :P Blasphemy! Repent Sinner!!! To echo Sparkers earlier remark...Tomcats Forever!
+HrntFixr Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 [RANT] Why do most threads turn into Tomcat vs Hornet??? Just let it go, it's been hashed out over and over and over and over again, that horse has been officially beat to death. This is the Official Desert Storm Announcement thread ya'll. [/RANT]

Awesome! oh and wrench, please, please don't get me started on de-humanizing enemies. Well, actually they usually just turn into Tomcat love threads, not many side with the bug
