Stupid.


Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

That explains it. bananadance


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

The average naval aviator, despite the sometimes swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy, and caring. These feelings just don't involve anyone else.

Why is the Business Insider carrying articles about modern military jet aircraft?

This "expert" Lockie...hmmm, rhymes with Lackey.

Georgia State University
Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), Rhetoric and Composition/Writing Studies

That certainly propels him into the realm of advanced aviation expertise. rolleyes

He should drop a line to Putin telling him they have it all wrong on the SU-57 with it's internal weapons bays.

Geez, don't they know anything.

What a goofy mess of an article.

Most regular folks I would think who aren't even military aviation experts know that if an F-22 shows up on your wing it means business and that it can take care of business.

Yes, well, you see...the Russians don't know anything about U.S. aircraft. When the F-22 pulls up next to them and says, "Turn back or we will shoot you down!" the Russian answers, laughing. "With what, you stupid Amerikanski? We can see you carry no weapons! Ha...we fart in your general direction!"

And there is more than one F-22.


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.

What gets me the most about this is that a casual reader will read this and believe it as truth.

I'm in Atlanta. Someone find out where he works for me and I will drop by there and ask politely for his Man Card, or take if I have to. Then I will tell him he is a Dip$&!+. yep

I wonder if this clown is related (other than a colossal shortfall in military wisdom) to that Nussbaum guy/gal.
