No 767s in the mix. It really doesn't matter since each is designed to FAR Part 25 specs. Since the 767 is expected to be the biggest player (in terms of money as much as size)in this trend its worth including in the discusion. Unless any of these aircraft is modified to reduce their vulnerability to battle damage, the OP-2E experience will see a tragic reprise. http://aircommandoman.tripod.com/Nak...TAFB/id16.html |

No 767s in the mix. May I also add, it was you who brought up the the RC-135 which in turn lead to a discussion of the B767... Remember, *all* the aircraft performing these various missions (RC-12, RC-7, RC-135, EP-3) are based on (if not converted directly from) civilian designs. |

That sounds like your logic, not mine, really stretching it there
s.p.i. !!! Bet they had fun though!!! On 5 Dec 2003 06:23:00 -0800, (s.p.i.) wrote: user wrote in message . .. One point overlooked that I feel very strongly about..... A lot has been surmised about the roles of UAV's in the future.... We have a whole society and culture of aircrew out there that would be out of a job...at the same time keeping in mind the danger and the volunteer nature... So by this logic it would be best to get naked, paint yourself blue, and go on the attack with a spear...Those old Celts were REAL Warriors!! |

When the "queer birds" started flying during late WWII all those operators had to be aboard. Just becuase its "fun" isn't a good reason to continue developing ISR platforms that way. |
