Let me get this straight, comrade Mikey - I made a mistake, admitted it
immediately, and, in your rather dim eyes, you see this as "destroying" my "professional reputation"? Well, I could take a page from your playbook and deny my error in the face of overwhelming evidence (MOON HOAX) or slightly backpedal without ever admitting I made a mistake, but to tell you the truth, I wouldn't want to do anything in your manner. I prefer to admit my mistakes when they happen. you who has a stainless credibility of high flying US NAVY aviation expert. Thanks, comrade Mikey! Here I thought I was just a face in the crowd of people who think of you as a nationalist ex-patriot. Although the question remains do all US NAVY aviation experts still believe that Tu-160s and russian NAVY Tu-22M3s are the same planes? Just curiosity. Ask them, comrade - since I have been out of the Navy for years, it seems ridiculous of you, as usual, to think I am speaking on their behalf. I don't represent the US Navy; I represent the people who think you are a fool. Look at the dates. your "days" are from the same department of "small mistakes". It seems Gordon you do have propesities to distort unpleasant reality according to your current needs. Yeah Gordon small useful lie? Funny, that - I made a mistake and didn't try to cover it. In the last couple years of watching you here in RAM, I don't recall ever seeing you do the same. As for Tu-22M3 vs. Tu-160 well some "small mistakes" can destroy professional reputation forever. I didn't confuse these two numerical designations, I confused their quite similar NATO reporting names, ONCE, in a posting, and admitting to my mistake. Since you seem in a position of being able to claim you've never made a similar mistake, I'd love to see you say that in print. in my personal view this "small mistake" does speak for the real professional level of its maker. Your "personal view" is mighty narrow anyway and is of no concern. Or are you pretending that before this error of mine, you considered me an expert...? You're just being churlish, as I'd expect of you. I do not know how about others but sorry Gordon after that "accident" I cannot take you seriousely anymore, at least not in the field of military aviation. Please, Mikey, don't feel sorry - I think I can live with it. Gordon |
