Typhoid

Waiting for my reserved upgrade. I will isolate the external backups, AFTER doing a full backup and BEFORE doing the upgrade. If you don't see me log on after the upgrade......

I get it, and not questioning you. I'm just surprised that anyplace would still prosecute a distribution charge for less than an ounce

you're right, I don't live in the south. Here pot is legal. but even in my previous locales, possession wouldn't get one a serious jail term. misdemeanor slap on the wrist. I'm entirely ok with shooting the banker......

don't know the details but the story looks like utter BS. One ounce of pot will not get you jail time, much less a life sentence.

cool stuff!!

no

the first time I heard that it was Spartans and Persians.................

truly a legendary aircraft. I was lucky enough to bag one trap (right seat) in a KA-6D on a tanker hop. Quite the experience.

CINCHOUSE would kill me if I set that up!! you have a jewel!!!!!

he sounds pretty similar to someone here.................... http://combatace.com/topic/80564-combatace-spotlight-interview-with-typhoid/ https://coloradosprings.gov/government/general-information/city-council/andy-pico

I would not sell those short. They were all upgraded and aside from the RCS are probably just as potent as our B-2's in all mission respects.

I'm not referring to the interference. I am referring to the ability of the "Other guy's" aircraft to detect and identify that signal and correlate it to a radar target. you do know who wrote that article................?

sailing in formation is NOT how a carrier group operates. We successfully hid our carrier in a couple of ops in the Northern Pacific and part of that was by operating in deceptive manners and NOT putting the carrier in the center of the bullseye formation. An ESM aircraft only needs a brief hit to be able to ID the intended target. I don't know what the ESM signal of the EMALS is, but it will not take long for an ESM recon bird, either aircraft of satellite, to determine what to look for.

The radar return of a carrier is certainly big, but no bigger than many tankers, cruise ships, etc. What an EMALS, or any other "unique emitter" provides is; the ability to track a target without turning the radar on (and making the targeting aircraft the target!), the ability to IDENTIFY THE TARGET and shoot the right one Not saying this is a bad idea, but just wondering about that part. (having been part of a couple of ops where we hid the carrier for quite awhile)

Nice targets!! a very nice video.

The only time I saw Libyan Mig-23's was when we reviewed the F-14 gun camera film.....................

Holy !!!!!!!! He about sucked some ground personnel up as FOD!!

I wonder what kind of signal that puts out for the listening ESM bird trying to find the CV trying to hide in the broad ocean......

it is an awesomely hilarious site!!

he didn't exactly screw up - he set the fire intentionally. It was deliberate sabotage. he should be dead.

they can be very creative!! brought back memories.........

I rather suspect that will not be the profile while in commercial service.......

Aviation will always be with us, although changing. As long as aviation is with us, ships will take aviation to sea. The aircraft carrier will change, of course, but something like it will always be needed.

wow! quite a production!
