Why is Stealth So Important? by
James Dandy
Seems to me like all the modern wars I can remember up from Vietnam
use mostly ordinary fighters and bombers.
I don't understand why such emphasis is put on that stealth stuff when
we use the same old planes from previously.

a normal bomb load of about 3 tons and I have heard of a formation of 1300
B-17's on a bomb run that would equal around 4 kilotons (3 x 1300 = 3900)

Hi,
I'm interested in canvassing opinions regarding the inclusion of a gun
on future military aircraft. If you listen to some of the blurb out
there (government, aircraft manufacturers, hollywood) it would appear
