Even the SCOTUS is fed up with Bush's nonsense. by
ArtKramr
In an 8 to 1 decision the scotus kicked Bush on the ass for his trashing of the
Bill of Rights. It is about time Bush was placed on the slippery slope he so
well desreves. Thank you SCOTUS. Even the neocons have had enough of him

Fighter Aircraft Alternates? by
Richard Stewart
Hi Guys,
Just wondering what the alternate (losing) choices were for the main US
older fighter aircraft?
eg. I know the YF17 lost out to the F18...
But what were the competitors to the rest (you don't need to go back too
far) - that's if they actually HAD competitors...
F14?
