I guess that’s why we need new equipment … I think flying combat profiles either training or real world has risks involved.

Catastrophic failures will always occur … through ASIP and Chaffing Awareness these can be prevented! At least from a maintainer’s perspective on the F-16!

Back in the 80’s, they dusted off quite a few A-10s, and a lot of the F-4 fleet?

War is Hell, but peace time is a mother f***er …

Cheers to all the VETS on this Special Day!

This guy would crap his pants if saw the accident rates of the the F-100 or F-104. And citing a TV movie as a source for his argument was a stoke of pure genius.

Carefull with this link. After a while it tried to run scripts in my browser, which easily could have been attempts to infect my computer with a virus.
