Killfiles redux by
David Wallace
If your newsreader handles regular expressions (regex) in its killfile
setup, set "if "newsgroup" contains" to:

That will kill off any articles crossposted to 3 groups or more. Then
it's just a case of picking off the remaining couple of lunatics and
life is back to normal. I just...

Missile skid turns? by
Jim Doyle
Recently I've been reading about the UK BVRAAM project.
One question really:
Originally it had four mid-fuselage wings for manoeuvrability, now it has
none. This seems a little odd, since it makes sense that the more agile

X-Plane Competition by

I saw a PBS special on the X-plane competition between Boeing and
Lockheed for the Joint Task Force (JTF) fighter; the jet of the

a useless arsenal.
