F-16 Type Jet To Soon Be Available To The Public!!! If you have read these
newsletters for a while you have seen the large amount of opposition by
communities to having F-16s flying over their homes. Now it seems that there
will soon be a CIVILIAN version (pictured at right) of the military jet
available to further diminish Americans quality of life!!! When a
millionaire pilot, joyriding on the weekend, loses control of one of these
jets, I'm sure it won't just take out only one or two houses. According to
Aviation Week's website, the "Javelin," the manufacturer "intends to begin
customer deliveries another 18 months after that-once the aircraft has
obtained its FAA type approval." As the FAA's goal is to destroy every last
vestige of quiet in America, I'm sure they'll be no problem.


So whats the big deal? There are already over 200 L-39's currently
registered in the US. For your information, oh ignorant one, the L-39
is a turbojet powered Warsaw-pact trainer that will do 400+ knots.
When was the last time you heard of one of these crashing and killing
people on the ground in the US?

You actually think a "millionaire" can just buy a Javelin, hop in, and
go cruising through the sky?

Now considering the noise issue. The Javelin is using engines similar
to a CitationJet and will most likely have a SMALLER noise print that
the CJs (the CitationJet is one of the quietest business jets built).

Now where are you getting this "F-16 Type Jet" bull****? There is no
comparison between a Javelin and an F-16. The F-16 is supersonic
capable, the Javelin will only do 0.92 Mach. The F-16 engine produces
27,000-odd lbs of thrust, the Javelin's two engines produce only 3,000
lbs of thrust. The F-16 has an engine with an afterburner, the Javelin
does not. The F-16 weighs around 35,000 lbs, the Javelin only weighs
around 5,000 lbs (MTOW) or around 1/7th the weight of an F-16.

Your ignorance of all things aviation is truly pathetic.
