Why not use the F-22 to replace the F/A-18 and F-14?

The days of turning off the autopilot and flying the
airplane yourself are long gone.

For the F-22, yep.

For the F-106, yep.

This is not some new idea that snuck up on you Weiss.

If there are no good airstrips how would the marines get their gas,
bombs, food, and all the other support?

I think their H-53s and H-46s (helicopters) handle some of that tasking

Then let me ask why the Marines need the V/Stol capability. I cannot
get a good picture of a mission where the marines would need 400+ of
them with all the support for them but still not have a decent runway!

Why are you limiting the situation to needing 400+ at once?

The situation is more like "we need a dozen for this small brushfire war
in a place where there are no good airstrips," or we need to put a small
landing force in at this area, and the bad guys have a few planes, so we
need a little fighter cover from the LHDs."

By ship , C-130 or other battlefield airlift asset.

jrweiss- It's not only a function of high-bypass engines! The J-65 engines
in the older
model A-4s BRBR

Did the A-4C have J65s? Cuz the 'E' and 'F' and 'T' models I owned in VF-126
all had J52s.

John, you're statement above implies that 'he who must not be named' has a
clue
about something. Do you wish to rephrase? ;-)

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt -- he might have a clue about digital
metric altimeters or something similar...

Yes, the Cs had J-65s. They were a real sight when they lit off at night --
almost like an afterburner!

What is "an unmapped part of the A-320's flight control system" supposed
to mean?!?

Airbus hadn't programmed their A-320 to do what the operator commanded.

Hmmm... I suspect that when the pilot added go-around power, he commanded the
airplane to provide maximum lift/minimum sink while the engines spooled up. As
far as we can tell, the flight control system responded properly, providing max
lift without stalling. It is not the job of the flight control system to map
trees, but the trees in the flight path interrupted the plan...


I am quite certain that the A-320's certification included slow flight and
approaches to stalls, and that its flight control system is well able to
handle them.

Then you have departed from reality.

I see... Now you imply that either the A-320 certification did NOT include slow
flight and approaches to stalls, or that it was certified despite its failure to
demonstrate the required controllability in those regimes.

Anyone have the coordinates of reality? I need to punch them into the FMS-CDU
tomorrow...

Easy. Remember last(?) year the LHAs showing the flag off the west
african coast, and rescuing embassy personnel? No CVs anywhere near.

In what wy do you believe that stalling the wing is within the flight
envelope?
