amen bager!
Could Victorious have operated Crusaders? Or SuEs?
And reducing the FAA to one fast jet squadron. Really……with 2 big CVs the RN should have more than ONE jet sqd.
Wonder what its REAL name will end up being. Not too many US planes end up being called what the AF wants.
F/A-35?! BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The United States Air Farce will NEVER go for that designator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO BODY in the USAF calls the F-16 the “Fighting Falcon”…..or even “Falcon”……..its a “Viper”. BTW………didnt the USAAC originialy call the P-51 the Apache (A-36)? Was it the Brits that dubbed it “Mustang”? If so, we owe the Brits a HUGE debt!
Allways thought she was a pretty ship. Shame Vicky or Ark wasnt made into a museum.
Soviet pilots in EAF MIG-25s also flew over Israel. Whats the big deal?
I agree with you. The US interferes WAY too much in the worl! We NEVER should have gotten involved in WW2. Or WW1 for that mater. We should have let Europe handle their problems themselves.
😮
As far I know, Chavez won clean elections. Or at least cleaner than the American one at year 2000. The same that the “democratic” Bush “won”. 😀
Even Jimmie Carter said the Venezuelan elections were a fraud. Yet Bush has won in EVERY recount there is……..
OK…..but who has the better soccer…I mean…Football team?
Now if Japan would just buy a few……..
Sorry to barge in, but: This line of thought is rather futile, Lula is “best Buddies” with Chavez, there is NO POSSIBILITY WHATSOEVER of the FAVs fighters to be used aginst Brazil. Or of Brazil needing to respond to their attack.
But on the level of national prestige/pride, some opposition politicians (not the government’s, pay attention) might be tempted to equalize the playing field pushing for some modern fighter type be aquired sooner then 2015.
The Brazilian Air Force screwed itself up when they weren’t able to pick the one fighter the force wanted. Because of this the Air Force brass lost control of the purchase to the politicians… and down the drain it went…
If Brazill and Venezuela go to war it will be for a REAL reason……..the World Cup for example……. 😀
Southwest (praise its name) will CRUSH the infedels!!!!!
Could be the start of a nasty little South American arms race…….
