    They stopped making the normal Airwolf a few year ago and went to the one with the rubber bezel, and now that isn't in production either.

    Clearly, since Navs pass IFS. I'll spell it out for you: this isn't an FBO with a 152, or American Eagle. Being able to get an airplane off the ground and being good at tactics require an incredibly different amount of work.

    People whose aircraft have tactics to fight other people trying to kill them may have more to study than loading an FMS and reading magazines.

    It goes well with his triple thread post.

    No, but awesome loiter only works if you're around to use it. Really at issue is his lack of sound logic and wildly inaccurate claims.

    I did. The A-10 wasn't fielded just to kill some attack helicopter program as he claims. The gun was made to kill armor because in a real war dismounted troops aren't the bigger threat in CAS. And just because we haven't lost aircraft to enemy fire doesn't mean we won't given a near-peer adversary, and if that's his argument the AC-130 is hardly a better CAS choice. That guy doesn't know shit.

    Air University is very confused by your statement. They're currently trying to apply a corporate management model to filter it so they can comprehend and actively listen.

    Coffee. If popcorn and coffee aren't made, you're doing it wrong.

    But they started it! Interesting Opinion Putin Did Americans a Favor: Ukraine is a wake-up call for what a post-American world would look like

    Even if you stretch 4.5% of pilots by the 10% rule, it's still only 45% pilots.

    without a map, nonetheless. //derail over

    Requirements creep: the longer a program is in development, the more extreme it becomes.

    China is probably fine with the US providing relative security for their AFG mining ventures.

    So now we're not done at the close of 2014? WTF mate?

    The range of an Apache isn't the first line of discussion here, it should be the way the Army allocates them: it would have to radically change, or else the range doesn't matter. They're organic assets, and the ground commanders aren't keen on sharing.

    "Engineers of Victory: The Problem Solvers Who Turned the Tide in the Second World War" by Paul Kennedy Details how several technology advancements (cavity magnetron, P-51, etc) allowed strategic success. It's pretty balanced as far as not saying the Allies won solely because of technology, but recognizes how it was developed and how it contributed.

    Solid. Good catch.

    XL was still using one as of December 2013.

    You can't fix the glitch if there's nothing wrong, and clearly AFPC policies are flawless. Act surprised, deny, deny, deny, counter accuse.

    If you're reading what that guy wrote, there's a good chance he has no idea what he's talking about, aside from the fact it was incoherent.

    I stopped at "By 1Lt..."

    Bad analogy. The EU is not a sovereign nation. The US is. England and Germany are not states of the EU in the same sense a Michigan and Rhode Island are of the US in the least.

    But it's not what you said. You said there should be no restrictions and an absolutely open border, i.e. no control.
