This is one of the most bizarre things I have read in quite some time... I don't believe for one second that he was not in on it. It's really sad.

I've heard it said, "I don't what's the bigger hoax, Manti Te'o's relationship or the fact that Notre Dame was ranked #1."

And, "Manti Te'o just changed his Facebook status to "it's conflicted"."

Um, yea, like ZERO stealthiness, and yet the F-15E Strike Eagle is still really our front line aircraft for air superiority, interdiction, and close air support. There is one "Silent Eagle" stealthy aircraft, I believe, but it is purely a test-bed aircraft at this time and will probably be sold overseas if it sells at all.

The F-22 has the potential to be far superior, but it's still flawed to some degree, and of course the F-35 is a "tweener" in my estimation, but will be formidable if it actually gets built in any numbers.

But this is probably a subject better suited for the T-Room……

In this sports forum it’s probably one thing to post pictures of cheerleaders, and a whole other thing to talk about war fighting capabilities. Twisted Evil

Yeah, 'cause the #1 priority here is staying on topic.

Well, the F-35B looks like it lands pretty softly: F-35B Trials

Ha ha, yea I guess landing is important, but just not a first priority for the average fighter pilot

FYP
Agreed and approved!

I can only think of twice, offhand, and both were in Vietnam.....so yea, "unless there was a moral imperative."

RE: the moral imperative....my last F-15E flights were in Desert Shield/Storm in '90-'91, but the pilots in combat in Afghanistan today are faced with the same sort of decisions all of us had to make every day...kill the enemy, but do your damndest to spare the civilians.

The colonel flying Martha around in the back seat of his F-15E was a lieutenant when I knew him 23 years ago....sigh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1E3sDKbETw
