Question about the F-22 and it's radar. by
Scott Ferrin
Gotta question about the following:
""USAF officials also rejected the forecast that the service will need
to spend $11.7 billion to introduce air-to-ground capabilities in the
F/A-22. Roche says planned upgrades, including a new radar and
small-diameter bomb, are budgeted and would cost less than...

America's Army Sucks, Fact by
cain_uk
America's army sucks.
They have no idea how to fight a war. I mean dropping bombs from a
B-52 at 30,000 feet isn't war, its called a western. Their a bunch of
cowboys. And now we here about the disgusting behavior of American's
torturing Iraqi prisoners.
For real soldiers, look other the other...

Flight Lessons by
Charles Talleyrand

instrument ratings in these 172s? What's the transition to 'real iron'?
Basically, what's a newly minted Air Force/Navy pilot's logbook look like and where did he...

Abject surrender by
Tony
Well, we now have the first surrender in the War on Terror. Spain has
surrendered to Al Quada and will remove its troops from Iraq.
Do the Spanish really think that will be Al Quada's last demand?

What if the germans... by
Charles Gray
had actually put a U.S. style R&D system in place during WWII, and
instead of coming up with (however pretty they look on paper) dozens
of designs that never made it beyond wind tunnal designs and focused
on say two or three fighter designs.
For example, if they'd pushed through the first jet...

Why was the Fokker D VII A Good Plane? by

Looking at the stats, it seems fairly ordinary for late

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
