Why not use the F-22 to replace the F/A-18 and F-14? by
Guy Alcala

Also why not market the C-17 to the air freight community?
This has been mooted, either as is or in a civil variant, at various
times. For some of the issues involved you might wish to read "C-17

1925-dirigble target towing by
old hoodoo
I just read that the Shenadoah towed a target for the USS Texas anti-aircraft guns with success. The target was 50' long 10' in
diameter and was peppered by the Texas at 3000 feet. An interesting use for the lighter-than air ship.

Tasha. Anyone remember her? by
Mike Anselmo
I was cleaning out my basement and I came across two pictures of Tasha. She
was a dancer that performed at the Oceana O-Club. Remember her?
That was two centuries ago so the memories are faded. I think that all ended
when some Admirals wife went into the back bar.
She's probably a great...

New strategy in fighting AL-Queda by
Leadfoot
Actually it's not that new. Remember in Vietnam we'd send a company out
into the jungle as bait so the NVA/VC would attack it and then we'd whack
the NVA/VC with artillery and airpower? Producing the counter-stratefy
"Grab the enemy by the belt buckle".
Well now the strategy is to put an...

Developed a new super-plane by
Adam Ben Nalois
This is true.It uses a Deuterium-powered cold-fusion engine and can
enter the orbit without problems.
Although it still has no hyperdrive-engine, it´s capable of flying
1/2c in space and several 10000m/s on earth in a special "Warp" mode,
which keeps the plane in some sort of "bubble" to protect...
