    It ceased to be so, and for quite a while already. Proof of that technology is when you get a speeding ticket from a police helicopter.

    I wish my truck had a RAM system on it for those pesky helis :diablo:

    Hell, at least Putin didn’t burn Atlanta to the ground like Sherman did. Whats wrong with Putin? Dam sissy.

    Did I ever mention that i love the word “facetious”?

    Quite frankly, Dr. Strangelove (Peter Sellers) would be proud of certain individuals at this moment in this forum. There is a situation between US/Russia/Georgia/Rest of World… that needs discussing and were talking about how landmass will help some people and others hurt, in regards to nuclear war?

    WTF?

    Oh, and on the whole “polonium” incident… if this person was conducting espionage etc etc ok Ill give it to the Russians, i have no problem with capital punishment for treason. But come on, make it look like a car accident or something “accidental”, don’t literally kill someone with a weapon than even a guy in a hut could say, HE DID IT, hes the only one with that weapon. This is just crazy, everyone knows the number one thing in espionage is, keep yourself clean of EVERYTHING.

    Sorry, my ranting is done for now.

    Ok quick question. If this Public Safety Com. was fired because he/she would not get rid of Palins ex-brother-in-law; who was found to be (according to this investigation that was quoted) lets say, “not the nicest man in the room”, Would it not be a good idea for the Public Safety Com. to fire this guy, based on his actions?

    And Since Gov. Palin personally knew of this man’s actions, and was backed up by this previously quoted investigation, doesn’t she have an obligation to Alaskans to get rid of anyone in public office/work who isn’t exactly in their right mind?

    I’m just wondering why the Public Safety Com. wouldn’t fire this guy, if the investigation into the ex-brother-in-law is true.

    Actually gun-toting maniacs prefer guns to be illegal so the law-abiding citizen is undefended. It’s no fun getting shot at by your prey you know.

    Why does this line bring conjure up images of poor little bunnies pointing M-16s at me in my back yard? :dev2:

    As an American, if this reason for not being able to have the show is true (not being able to park on the hardstands due to “security concerns”) I must say this American who made this statement or request should be sent back to the US. If he/she is this worried about so called “security concerns” with cars parked on hardstands in GB, he/she should be recalled to worry about real security concerns here in CONUS.

    I’m sorry, what a load of garbage this whole situation was. Theres only a few air shows that I want to attend in the future, and the RIAT is one of them. Any others are just for show, and some fun 🙂

    Has anyone have any decent answer as to how long Russia has been “preparing” for this? That, to me, would seem to answer the most important question.

    How far in advance were preparations made by Russia for this operation before the initial “kickoff” by the Georgians?

    Honestly, very very disturbing…..but should be required watching by all Americans, and probably Brits. Ill get more into why later, but very very good in an “educational” way, even as it was disturbing on a level I can’t really describe.

    Ok, maybe its me, but the speed of mach 1.4 at sea level seems the most suspicious to me…….? Any other planes come close/around this? Ive heard of over Mach 1 and whatnot, but 1.4 seems awfully high.

    Not the then engine/airframe couldnt do it, but Im not sure if it would be a good idear haha.

    Lets not forget if it wasnt for budget issues and the USAF getting ticked at having to foot the whole bill for the SR program (operational missions) when half of the time it was the USN or some other department requesting the aircraft, it would probably still be flying.

    The U-2 was the the cheaper aircraft to operate, upgrade, etc etc and it could usually get the job done.

    I apologize in advance if this doesnt belong in this thread but I just have a quick question.

    Is there a reason Russia is developing brand new strategic missles and their associated systems? Rather than, lets say, upgrading their older ones?

    I know the US is upgrading, or is finished upgrading, the Minuteman missles. I dont know of any (honestly, I havent looked into it, but there at least isnt anything in the everyday media/forums) on new offensive strategic systems.

    Is this just simply a difference in doctrines between the two nations? Or is the US going to have a strategic missle funding “crisis” in 20 years?

    Personally, I think its best to have both. Gas is great because its a simple, on demand system that with some practice can lead to some very good slow cooked foods.

    Charcoal on the other hand takes time to prepare and light and whatnot, its not quite as easy as striking the match per say. And I think its harder to master its BTU output compared to gas.

    But charcoal taste soooooo much better. Recently, I went out and bought a Weber charcoal grill for camping and whatnot, its easier to transport than a huge gas grill. But, itll still cook 10-12 steaks depending on their size, so its still very useful. Since I bought the Weber, the gas grill has been used exactly once.

    I guess the question is, is this a bbq that will only be used in the backyard, or one that you would like to transport places. Also, how much do you plan to cook on it regularly.

    You cant go wrong with either, thats why I recommend both 😀
