- good point on Mc's TFX concept...the F-35 is a little different in that there are variations within a common airframe, but you are right in that it is a compromise. When you include the fact that we have been living off 1970 and 1980 era appropriations, the unwillingness to go to full tilt is especially troublesome. Its like driving the same car for 40 years, then instead of saying now is a good time to flush some new life into American Industry, lets just buy a used car (see not-so-Super Hornet)

could be worth the effort...I really liked the comm in that game

*ouch*

Nesher, didnt know you are a real, live IDF...now that is cool and congrats, dude

awesome!

yeah, I have a laptop with Vista and still prefer to use XP...MS finally managed a very tasty OS and then Bill needed the money and launched Vista

man...I have not visited Dayton in like a million years...looks completely different now still, I really enjoy the Naval Aviation Museum at Pensacola though...they have a "petting zoo" that is incomparable

had a gaming chair that vibrates...cant get the misses out of it now...

looking at the 9X...somethings really do improve with time

wait...what "E"...Emu?

very simple...

have you seen this clip? Not Canadian, but cool still

I have never used it either, and was wondering about it

- no real surprise, after all the US gained intel from Russian-allied nations even during the height of the Cold War...given how sweet the Russians are to Iran, no wonder how much has been exchanged between them

ah...

I would not so limit the 9X...dont ask how I know...I just know

freakin sweet

same concept as when the Germans used high-ROF like the MG42...when the target is deftly trying to be not shot, you need max lead as quickly as possible look at B-17s from WW2...some came home looking like they lost a fight with a Wolverine...others took a single hit and met ether this is one of those topics that can slip into the nether regions rather quickly

some people just have a different burden to bear

ladies still dig a dude that can dance...clip notwithstanding...after my divorce I sought training in ball room dancing...that and my instructor was mega-hot

nothing makes one feel older than other people's kids...

germ warfare?

very nice

I really like the YF-23...wish we could have bought both

and we devolve into jocularity
