James Dandy
My aviation co-worker claims that the Wright brothers had a secret
name for their Flyer- the Bullam.
He claims that the brothers had nicknames for themselves when they
were growing up. Apparently Wilbur was Ullam and Orville was Bubbo or

The Raven
We all know that the X-35 won the JSF contest which is now in the strategic

If stealth makes long distance RF AAMs ineffective, and laser blinding

Military-sponsored training for IFR by
derek underhill
Hello all,
Seems as though I heard about the opportunity for military personnel
to get their IFR ticket training (and beyond; e.g. multi-engine,
complex, etc) paid for if they have their private license.
I don't mean moving to a pilot's MOS, just having the military pay for
the training, as with...

further thoughts about women suicide bombers by
Cub Driver
On an earlier thread, some despicable mysogynist wondered whether a
female suicide bomber got the 72 virgins issued to martyrs in heaven,
