This guy seems to want attention, I think we should give it to him. 
Link to the “article”.
How Does Business Success Equates to Landing An F-16 on a Air-Carrier
http://www.thefreelibrary.com/How+Does+ ... 1073968716
Quote:
Picture the deck of an air-carrier during an F-16 landing, packed with dozens of personnel, each assigned to a specific responsibility to see the aircraft lands safely on the deck of the carrier, from noting the position of the landing gear, the jet?s speed, to the angle of descend, the flaps, everything. Dozens of people are in constant communication with the tower, one another and the pilot, making sure that landing the 50,000 pound fighter, which is armed with missiles and carries 5,000 pounds of fuel, is a success.
This “article” has been spammed on several sites; I think it’s funny because the jerk that is spamming as if he is a knowledgeable authority to try to attract attention to himself apparently to try to drum up more business and/or fame. I feel it’s funny because his article reveals what a fraud he is and that no one should do business with him. IMAO

It reminds me of some of the rhetoric coming from Al Gore, Bill Clinton and Obama.
(This may not be the appropriate forum for this post so mods feel free to move it. I wasn't sure exactly where to post this.) |

Actually, we recently recorded a landing of an F-16 weighing 48,500 pounds.
But if I knew an F-16 would be landing on an aircraft carrier, I would certainly be there to watch!

Maybe it was a typo? Perhaps he meant F-15

| Hey Joe, under what possible circumstances would you land an F-16 weighing 48,500 pounds??? I guess it must have been a UAE Block 60 with full internal and wing 600 gal. tanks. |

Now wait a minute, he never said land an F-16 on an aircraft carrier. He said an air-carrier. Clearly he is talking about a quasi-futuristic vehicle that allows the landing of super heavy F-16's
How Does Business Success Equates to Landing An F-16 on a Air-Carrier
"Because, like most small businesses, everything seems to be going well until the flimsy foundation (landing gear) hits the business market (deck) and collapses sending your once proud business (overloaded F-16) into a flaming ball of destruction." |
