[OT] Nothing Learned From History by
stop spam
From a blog I frequent... interesting parallel, perhaps, especially if
you compare the Iran-Iraq war and the invasion of Kuwait with Hitler's
pre-1939 maneuvering?
If, in 1937, Franklin D. Roosevelt would have invaded Germany, captured
Hitler, neutralized the Nazi party, and dismantled the...

fighter pilot hours? by
Cub Driver
I fly about 50 hours a year and wish I could do more, just to stay in
the groove.
Could I have stayed current in a jet fighter, flying about 140 hours a
year?
Thanks!
all the best -- Dan Ford

Area bombing is not a dirty word. by
ArtKramr
60 years of hindsight with some revisionism thrown in have obscured the
original intent of attacking an enemy from the air. I only flew one (of 50)
mission
over cloud cover using GEE. We didn't call it area bombing. We didn't call it
blind bombing. Those are words are now used to stake out an...

Instructors: is no combat better? by
ArtKramr
Since I started this thread on instructors who have have combat experience
versus those who have not, 100% of the replies were in favor of instructors who
have never been to combat. Many state that they would rather have an instructor

About French cowards. by
Michael Smith
Damn good post.
France actually does help the US - the only non-US planes to drop bombs in
Afghanistan were French, and the US now uses a French base in Djibouti. The
difference between the french and the Brits is that France offers help on
its own terms, while the Brits are basically...

ArtKramr
The vast majority of university professors and scholars are Democratic
liberals. Very few are neocons. The neocons just can't make the cut into higher
education.
They just aren't smart enough as Bush so eloquently demonstrates.

AIM-54 Phoenix missile by
Sujay Vijayendra
Anyone know why the AIM-54 Phoenix is carried only by the F-14?? Why hasnt
the air-force developed a long range air to air missile like the phoenix? As
far as I know, the AIM-120 is about the longest range modern missile they
have in their arsenal.

"We" includes me, I confess ). But today a related issue

presidents or major contenders who have...
