Dan Luke Wrote: "H.P." wrote: The piece with the pilot reporter and the interview with Phil Boyer were pretty fair, IMHO. I agree. Compared to what we have seen from the media in the past, I thought CNN did a pretty good job overall. When I saw the O. P. and read the program description on the CNN website yesterday I actually decided to leave work early and go watch the program. I thought I'd be witnessing the beginning of the end of G. A. and I was ready to be ****ed off by the usual ignorant media scare-mongering, but I was pleasantly surprised by the rational and accurate analysis of the situation. The dude from NORAD said as soon as they got along side the perp they knew there was no threat from a Cessna single, and that info was immediately relayed to the top of the chain. I'm guessing that by that time they had already pushed the big red button and there was no way to tell every rent-a-cop in D. C. to stand down. Miles O'Brien is now my favorite talking head. He actually straight out said you couldn't do significant damage with an airplane that's 1600 ponds soaking wet! Somebody needs to tell Boyer to ditch the comb-over, though . On the 10 o'clock news here in the Phoenix area the story wasn't up until 12 minutes after the hour, after the American Idol update. The story didn't even make the front page of today's Arizona Republic. -R |

I flew past China Lake a few years ago, well away from the restricted
area, and two F-16's came by to take a look at me. I was in my Cessna 140, tootling along - and clearly they couldn't fly slow enough to match my speed, I still don't know what their slowest flight is - I didn't think it was very cool though - they were way too close and way too big compared to me.

I do not ever want to be in the pilot's shoes. I must admit though, it would be kinda cool to have a couple of F16's off the wings of my little Cessna. Different circumstances certainly...

Try to be more civilized, huh? -- Jim in NC Nah, I didn't write it - just a quote from one of the more popular songs around. FWIW...hmmm that is another pretty good song... There's somethin' happenin' here. What it is ain't exactly clear. There's a man with a gun over there A-tellin' me I've got to beware. I think it's time we stop. Children, what's that sound? Everybody look what's goin' down. There's battle lines bein' drawn. Nobody's right if everybody's wrong. Young people speakin' their minds A-gettin' so much resistance from behind. I think it's time we stop. Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look what's goin' down. What a field day for the heat. A thousand people in the street Singin' songs and a-carryin' signs Mostly sayin' hooray for our side. It's time we stop. Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look what's goin' down. Paranoia strikes deep. Into your life it will creep. It starts when you're always afraid. Step out of line, the men come and take you away. You better stop. Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look what's goin'.. You better stop. Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look what's goin'.. You better stop. Now, what's that sound? Everybody look what's goin'.. You better stop. Children, what's that sound? Everybody look what's goin |

But I really worry about North Korea, their Chinese buddies liked helping them out during the first go around. And strategically it would behove the Chinese to help the North Koreans again. That IMHO, could get mighty ugly. The Chinese are playing both sides here. Crazy Kim serves their purposes but they have to make sure not to give him too much leash. The elephant in the room is Japan. Their air force and navy are first-class and very modern. They reprocess plutonium for power plants and they already build satellite-launching rockets that could deliver a nuke quite nicely. Technologically they are far ahead of anyone except us, and that's only because they've refrained from investing in defense the way we do. It would take them 5 years at best to become a regional military superpower, and the Chinese don't want that to happen. The last thing they want is the Japan Self-Defense Forces standing between them and Taiwan. So long as the Japanese aren't too scared they stay largely pacifist, but this is changing as the WWII generation dies out. -cwk. |
