if it was much more expensive and complicated, then it wasn't the better plane.

it would seem so.

Got a haircut the other day, I thought it was snowing inside.............

Nightwatch is pretty good. It's a group of former intell professionals who continue to put out intel assessments and analysis based on open source reporting. I've subscribed to them for years going back to when I also read the classified stuff. What Nightwatch brings to the table is pretty unbiased ANALYSIS to current events based on standard methods of looking through the BS reporting and including a lot of background info that you don't get elsewhere. I also get some stuff from a network of former Navy intel types, when my source forwards them (just about daily). And, of course, I've got a bit of background in a lot of these areas anyway. There are some others, such as Stratfor, which do similar analysis of open source reporting. I subscribe to Nightwatch because I think they are spot on far more than any other source, including the official CIA and DIA analysis back when I could read and compare them.

It was a bit tense for several minutes.

Yes, and no. The E-2 and Air Intercept Controller stuff is what I did while flying. In that particular engagement, I was the 6th Battle Watch Captain in the Fleet Command Center in USS Belknap.

Great job and well done to everyone!!

Interpol is my guess.

Very impressive air show!!

Thanks Erik!!

I will enjoy checking out the entries!

Good article but not quite correct. "were dispatched to conduct a “freedom of navigation” exercise off the Libyan coast." The group was conducting a routine transit well north of the claimed Libyan area and the defensive posture with the CAP were purely precautionary in view of the on going tensions at the time.

Nice target

Happy New Year to all! 2013 was pretty good for me, looking forward to 2014.

Feliz Navidad

Happy Birthday and hoist one in his honor. He touched the lives of many and his legacy will live a long time yet.

Good deal. It takes character to admit when you're wrong and the test has been met. Good on you. For the other "gent"..........

Great suggestion you made for the title! Now to find a ghost writer.......
