Mike Yared

Buy Pakistani?
The Pentagon is about to waive "buy American" provisions of U.S. law and
allow Pakistan to provide the goatskin leather used in the distinctive U.S.
aviator bomber jackets. The Defense Department has notified a U.S. leather
tanner...

Cobalt by
Dan Welch
Hello,
from reading in the threads relating to nuclear war in the '80s, they
mention "cobalt weapons". Can anyone explain what these are? I very vaguely
remember a mention to them a book once but have no real idea.
cheers

A-10 in WWII?? by
Stephen Harding
We've had a couple scenarios of aircraft going back in
time and speculation on what sort of effect they'd have.
I just saw a show on the A-10 Warthog with a top speed
of 420 mph. That's WWII fighter speeds (although I'm
not certain at what altitude).
Since an A-10 can carry something like 16,000...

If you are looking for a fight... by
ArtKramr
There has been some talk of men who wanted combat but due to "timing" or "luck"
they missed out. Well if you are in a unit that won't get into the fight, just
try this. Go to your CO and say," Sir, I hear the 344th is moving out to the
ETO. I want to go with them. Here is my transfer request....

Were the Tuskeegee Airmen Wrong? by
Stephen Harding
Saw the Tuskeegee Airmen movie earlier this week where
intermission had discussions with a couple fellows who
were members of the real thing. Quite interesting.
However, they mentioned the oft repeated accolade that
they never lost a bomber to enemy fighters that they
escorted. One reason,...

What are Boeing's plans? by
David Lednicer
Here is an interesting question: the USAF KC-767 deal was supposed to keep
the 767 line open, but this deal is dormant. If the USAF doesn't act soon,
they won't be able to buy 767s as the line closes real soon. With this
in mind; how are they going to buy E-10s (767-400ERs) if the line is closed?

these two fighters? From a distance, they look exactly the same.

hi alt oxygen by
Arquebus257WeaMag
Im just wondering why pure oxygen is used for high altitude flying
instead of regular air. I thought prolonged exposures to breathing
pure oxygen can be harmfull as you can become oxygen dependant.

Enough said by
ArtKramr
An officer in the U.S. naval Reserve was attending a conference that included
admirals from both the U.S. Navy and the French Navy. At a cocktail reception,
he found himself in a small group that included personnel from both navies.
The French Admiral started complaining that whereas Europeans...

2D thrust vectoring for the F-35A and F-35C? by

After only six attempts I finally got Global Security to fix the B vs C
confusion on their Joint Strike Fighter page.

But the pic they picked to show the three variants raises a question.
Will the F-35A and F-35C have 2D thrust...

We all know that the X-35 won the JSF contest which is now in the strategic
development phase as the F-35. At the time the competition winner was

For various political reasons Boeing could have...
