In a follow-up, FAS noted that there are errors in the guide
concerning the
dimensions of US aircraft. Not only was the recognition guide
needlessly
restricted, but that restriction may have prevented it from being
accurate.


Needlessly restricted ?
That's odd as it can be ordered by any unit with a publications
account
with USAPA

It was at least classified FOUO, possibly secret. You can look up

the
post
at
www.fas.org and see their Secrecy and Government Bulletin.

It is FOUO.
If it were classified secret FAS would have been closed for publishing
it to the web.

You can't request classified publications from USAPA.
While FAS does at time do a pretty good job they are prone to hype
things.

The original debate was about AC Recognition. Now, you don't know a

damned
thing about that so you try to move it away into your area of expertise;
trolling on a non related subject.


Actually he mistakenly tried to claim the publication is classified.
I pointed out it can be ordered by any unit with an account with USAPA.


You are a odd one to throw rocks concerning aircraft recognition, since
you clam to have seen P-38 over Colorado in squadron strength in the mid
1950's
A neat trick since they left squadron service in the late 40's.




The fact is, you would be the first to bag a F-4 mistaking it for a

Mig-21
while the AF, Navy, Marine and Army Flyers will be the last to make that
mistake. But those mistakes were made regardless. So you think it's

easy?
Don't volunteer for AC Spotter for our side. You will do us better to

go
over to the other side and help them.


P-38...

Tell us again daryl...


And you have yet to show me wrong. Now, I suggest you provide the proof that
I was incorrect once and for all. But that would curtail your EID attacks,
now wouldn't it, Achmed.


Any number of people pointed out actual USAF documents that showed the
P38 left unit service in the late 1940's.

If you are too dense to admit the facts it's not my fault.

Simple fact is if there were any in squadron service in the mid-50's you
could easily provide the unti they were assigned to.

I don't need to prove they were not there, you need to prove the USAF or
any of it's entities were still operating any by that time.
