No strakes huh? Didn't think so.

I can dig you up articles where Lockmart suggests they will be trying
strakes and then another where Lockmart calls strakes the least apealing
solution to their "buffeting" problems, but you could do that yourself.

"Suggesting it" and actually doing it are two entirely different
matters. That they mentioned the possibility of strakes isn't the
issue here ( I read a long time ago that they were *considering* them
as a last resort). You've stated repeatedly that they have them.
First you claimed that the production models had them until you were
called on it and photos showed that they didn't have them. Then you
said only some of them had them but when we asked for vehicle numbers
you couldn't give them and when we looked at photos none of them had
them. Now you are backpeddling further by saying essentially "well
Lockheed said they might try them". Is it any wonder you've taken so
much **** over it? I realize the concept of you being wrong about
anything is completely alien to you but if you'd admit you're wrong
when it obvious (and I suspect you know when you're wrong) you'd gain
a measure of respect here rather than the constant ridecule. That's
just some friendly advise, take it or leave it.
