Which one of these is more distressing:
-David Cameron praises C17 plane just moments before it breaks down
-Navy’s $670 Million Fighting Ship Is ‘Not Expected to Be Survivable,’ Pentagon Says
Meanwhile, whoever is responsible is pulling a Sifaka lemur on the British/American people and hightailing it to Piccadilly/Las Vegas on us. (Short version: someone screwed up and fled town.)
And the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter is problematic as well. In addition to specific issues (the Lightening is vulnerable to lightening) IMO the concept is flawed. One aircraft cannot do it all – gain air superiority while at the same time serving in a ground support role.
Give me the A-10 any day over a flying Swiss army knife.
Lets just re-invent the wheel and bring back the (“gott im himmel”) Spitfire!

We could also bring this beauty back (she is still actively commissioned).

Oh for the day when Apple bring out their time machine ‘app’!
Yours Aye.
Where is that estimable ship located?? What vessel is located in Greenwich?…this looks similar …I could be wrong or that memory has long since disintegrated into the mists of time…k
HMS Victory, the Flagship of Lord Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson, 1st Duke of Bronté.
Remember now?
Aye.
Tim: Sad but true. I am pulling for the F-35.
Kris and EB: Uh oh, I am staying out of ‘dis one.
