B52STRATO

This is also what we think about the Glomar Explorer geologic researches until some of its crew talk about the moon pool internal organisation under the derrick section. But as these testimonies were all made under false names, nothing can prove this can't come from Clancy like scenarios.

I admit that much remains unclear on this operation, not as much as the disapear of K-129 nor the campaigns of USS Halibut. But would it be more suprising than the sinking of the "Hercules" tanker (220 000tons anyway), hit by a Canberra, or the attack of the "British Wye" by a bomber converted C-130 or even the hospital ships "Uganda" (UK) and "Bahia Paraiso" (Argentina) navigating together ? I doubt that the "Exeter" could had intercept the missile with her short-range weaponry. But even if the "Exocet" hit or not the Royal Navy aircraft carrier, it is simply impossible to say or think that its sailors have not defended her valiantly in a war where anti-ship missiles were used for the first time and that CIWS did not exist. Instead, if after a missile and Mk-80 serie bomb hit the ship was still afloat and still ensure departures and arrivals on her deck, well she could not better deserve the name of "Invincible" .

Tomorrow will mark the 31st year of the actual longest raid conducted by a "Skyhawk" unit. But there is still some mist over this day, the Royal Navy never admited a hit on her aircraft carrier, saying that the HMS "Exeter" had shot-down the ennemy "Exocet", and from the Argentinian side the two Armada "Super Etendard" pilots never saw their target, firing from 23 miles, while of the four F.A.A "Skyhawks" crews, which followed the missile smoke trail to find their aim, only two survived the attack (one being down at 8 miles off, the other near the "Invincible" and its escort), testifying one direct hit on a ship "with a ski-jump, a large superstructure, two chimneys and multiple radomes". However, following this operation, various reports from the Royal Navy mention a Harrier traffic downturn in the "Invincible" area, and an increased number of helicopter rotations. The ship will also take more than a month to join the "Hermes", already in station in the regained archipelago. Is new documents are now available on this event ?

In truth even at the national level, Fonck was, and is still shunned by most of the French aviation press. His "petainist adventure" seriously tarnished his reputation after the war, him who had already lost much of its fame in the 30s, where he was came out of the closet for parades and visits to units and was deliberately forgotten in his last years. In contrast Guynemer has a national hero image, official steles and public places dedicated to him, Fonck has, to my knowledge, simply received one deadlock or alley in tribute.

You lucky guys ! Don't know why... but I found the Dromader is a pretty one...

I ask myself on the fact that a guy was already there with his camera to film it... anyway, we also live in a world without a single second being not filmed somewhere with a cellphone. I can already see our modern West newspapers front cover "A young innocent is summarily executed in public."

Of course not. Firstly reading the title I more expected something like "Finger to you all!".

Just having watched "Heist" from David Mamet something struck me at nearly 90 minutes : characters played by Hackman and De Vito are on the docks and in the background, two hydrofoils seemed to belong to the "Kometa" class are visible out of water. The shooting locations indicated are Manchester (N.H), and various Quebec sites. Have these crafts designed by Alexeyev ever had an operational career in this part of the world ?

Crews transferred during Desert Shield and Storm also just emerged from their F-4 reconversion, while not having all their weapon systems fully operational.

Isn't there was a period when this flying crap could be slaughtered by fishermen ? I remember well the scourge they represented in Cherbourg or Brest (also as a result of disposal and nest destruction campaign a few years ago alot have vacated the port and the Finistère coast).

This remember me a USMC instructor who tells during an AH-1Z demo flight that the futur "Viper" pilots will just be beat'em all like video games players, since all in this new chopper has been done to make it flew by nerds.

Could be pretty useful beside Aeroporía Mirage F1s.

Beautiful Dart wigeon!

Poor guy... alas Marboré engines can flame-out just cause you push the throttle foward a little quickly. I believe this tragedy happen in France some years ago aboard a Magister or Zephir.

Looks to be a KC-135. http://kg.akipress.org/news:574036

At least we got some kind of 'feeling' with them on this picture, not as with our politician puppets.

I suppose that about the #3 point, it could be possible while using a Jericho II or III ICBM ?

Saudia also takes quite articles right in the face with newspapers for some times.

Hahaha awesome ! I just imagine the launch pad control atmosphere '3... 2... 1... AAAANNND... *pling!* "Error 401. Report to Microsoft ?"'

Both men seem to be puppets, too few to commit it, and the fact that just one still remain does not improve the overall vision... we can already imagine what will be write online in the days to come: Chechen origin, so former opponent of Russian federal system, but a people since been reincorporated into its armed forces, Chechens have fought in Georgia not so long ago, a conflict in which has participated Putin, Putin having the Syrian president as a good buddy, but the United States is opposed him, so Vladimir sent some messengers in the country to warn. And now, yet another conspiracy theory, which asked 10 seconds imaginating and 30 seconds writing. Now I just can hope they will catch all the others who has participated to these blows.
