  1. Money is the issue. These weapons just aren't simple strap on rockets they have electronics and computers too that also require maint. after so many flights. The more they get bounced around on a wing the sooner they have to be worked on. Something I'd say the RAAF would rather let the US spend their cash on. The Aussie bugs are tasked with strike not CAPs.
  2. Looks like the Ausie Hornets are set up for loiter for precision targets with 3 fuel tanks, 2 JADAM, and 2 laser guided bombs.
  3. F-117A still flying ?

    Could be Test pilots, they fly all types of aircraft, retired as well.
  4. Racing P-51 deadstick landing

    Great work the pilot did it right if you've got speed get some breathing room between you and the mud ball. Work the problem if you safely can, make your desicion and stick with it. If you think you may have to get out well, you get the F out. If your confident you can make it to a landing surface go for it. I sound like an instructor ug, but when in doubt get out.
  5. Great news for the driver. These birds are getting old.
  6. A Grumman S-2T Dept. of California Fire Firefighting Pilot dies in crash while fighting fire in Yosemite National Park. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2014/10/07/yosemite-new-fire/16885045/ http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/07/us/yosemite/index.html

  13. F-22A Combat debut

    I said in the past this plane can do strike missions the USAF has tested the F-22 extensively for this purpose.
  14. This is in the state I live in. What the F(_)CK are these people doing on U.S.Soil. They have had them on U.S.Soil in the past, but why. A friends brother USAF Major David "KLEPTO" Brodeur died April 27, 2011 in Kabul, Afghanistan, of wounds sustained from gunfire from an Afghan military trainee, He was shot in the face, but got up and tackled the shooter while doing so was shot fatally in the chest but the last few moments of his life he was able to maintain a grip on the shooter until other USAF personnel could assist. http://www.myfoxboston.com/story/26589433/three-afghan-national-army-soldiers-missing-from-cape-cod-base
