First, my apologies for misspelling "Priceless". Late at night with
'puddle' fingers and not running spell checker ( Thank all for not commenting G Some comments on the low altitude high speed pass. 1. Just like the groups that go to Air Shows to see aircraft on the ground and in the air, AF ground support troops and Army troops who benefit from CAS like to see the equipment flying close up. A high speed pass at low altitude is and has been a method of showing off for those individuals. A supersonic low altitude pass is an EVENT. 2. For the aircrew, orbiting for hours waiting for a call to action is very boring and a pass breaks the monotony of the waiting mission. Also most pilots (even GA) like to show off their 'equipment' . Oshkosh, photo's on Internet, Sun-an-fun, etc. For the B-1, its the only flying supersonic bomber. 3. For those who are not familiar with supersonic flight. a. At high subsonic and supersonic speed you don't hear the aircraft coming. b. The shock wave does not hit the ground until the aircraft has PASSED the point where you are standing. 4. Any 'bad guys' in the vicinity would be awakened the same as if a 500 lb'er were dropped next door. Any structures under the flight path would/could suffer damage (good deal in Indian country) 5. All in all, low altitude high speeds passes at night might be a good way to harass the enemy ) 6. Just remember VN. We're in this War to win. Big John For you Michael Don't want to get into the European 'mind set'. So many of you have forgotten the blood and money we spent so you can sit at your sidewalk table and drink Schnapps and beer and Monday morning quarterback the game. Who are you going to call on when they drive a car bomb up next to you and set it off? Americans can take valid criticism but to belittle us hits a deeper nerve. Don't poke the bear, as we say. here in Texas. BJ |

see, he was near the WTC on 9/11. So I, a California native and resident, personally know someone greatly affected by 9/11. there sure are many americans (and non americans alike) affected by this tragic event. Another acquaintance from my small town, a baker, was compelled to bake some goodies, fly back to NYC during the cleanup, and hand them out to the workers, all at his own expense. yes, I read about similar stories during that time - short after 9/11. Probably most Americans have similar stories. I remember seeing the pictures and videos of people jumping from the towers, and thinking to myself, this could have been me: one moment, you're starting work, cup of coffee in hand, yakking with your work buddies--an hour later you're deciding that suicide by jumping is preferable to being burned alive. I've seen it, too. (Only - or better: I am glad that it was *only* and not direct in NY) live on TV. I also remember news pictures and stories of Palestinians laughing and celebrating, this event you are referring to was pointed out of being setup for television. But for sure there have been many happy about the 9/11 attacks. There is _no_ excuse for anybody being happy about the forceful death of somebody else. of OBL snickering and smiling at his handiwork. So cut us some slack if we enjoy an occasional moment ourselves. That doesn't make any of it right. It just makes us human, after all. OK - seing it in the whole context makes it at least understandable - as you put it: human. regards, #m -- http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=19990509 |

6. Just remember VN. We're in this War to win.
This is a lesson that must not be forgotten. Too many young people don't seem to understand that war must be waged completely and decisively. Viet Nam taught us that pussy-footing around in a war gets MORE people killed, not less. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

"John T" wrote in message ws.com... "Bob Noel" wrote in message perhaps, but it didn't take long for the anti-americans to demonstrate their hatred. Google for "martin hotze" and you'll see that he has quite a history of anti-American posts. Why bother feeding his trolling posts? Especially clueless trolls.
