    Change BMW to Lincoln and you got a story that actually happened. The engine is still Ford’s of course.

    Ehhhhh didnt Ford own Jaguar at the time? Just trying to clarify, this is more or less called “platform sharing” between different entities of the same corporation……lil bit different than copying a design and selling it under a different name.

    Well, if the alternative is to lower taxes and borrow from China instead…

    The real alternative would be to lower taxes and cut out all the crap.

    But, how would they get reelected if they couldn’t promise more money?

    *******s.

    yes give it to the army with a bigger engine…..slightly better man machine interfaces……..somewhat better target designation/attack…..

    Last but not least, in these times, and I hate to say it, the times to come. Build more, these are the planes we really need (to a degree).

    But get rid of the cannon? Come on, thats the cooleest part of the plane 😀

    But i hear ya, get 1 or 2 cannons of a smaller caliber with more rounds…..afterall, we arent planning on taking out tanks with guns anymore….least i think we arent.

    Buy one from Kazakhstan? They operate the type as well.

    I forgot about them…..But if i do remember the 31s were tightly held if ya know what I mean…..not as easy to pick up as a 27 or 29…..thats all i was sayin.

    But, next time i go to vegas (which isnt enough, and i dont go for the gamblin)……ill keep an eye out with my camera at the ready 😀

    I think its more than possible, considering the breakup of the Soviet Union, that the US got its hands on 27s, let alone 29s.

    31s, now that would be a operation…….I mean how would we buy one of those……short of buying one from a russian pilot who was off on a training misson?

    ok since i brought the subject up…..

    A E-2 derivative is to slow for a tanker………how slow is it, compared to lets say a fully ;aden super hornet tanker?

    And, the idea of the prop sound came up, in reguards to ASW work. My question is, how much time should we (not the Navy) expect the P-8A to spend on the deck, searching for contacts? Im just wondering. Honesty, id bet, over a lifetime, even under the same circumstances, the p-8A will spend less time on the deck…..

    Therefore, does the “prop noise” even come into effect, since now that ive thought about it, the P-3 got along fine with its turboprops…..?

    I’d be more concerned about your dog than your gun/weapon/toy/baby*. With eyes bulging like that it’s either terrified of you or it’s got a nasty thyroid problem.

    Isn’t GE the ‘green commie crap company’ that builds all those aero engines that upset the Green Party so much?

    Never let the facts get in the way of a good rant……. 😎

    Well I agree, I was on a bit of a rant (A few drinks tend to start up my rant mode haha). But truth be told, GE is a large corporation with many different entities. A good many of its products is based towards the “green movement”. Here in the US its half of their commercials, how “clean and green” they are.

    To top it all off, they own one of the major tv networks, NBC. I swear half the time on the morning news show, they spend on “green” issues. Honestly, I have no problem with this, except they pass it off as news. That was my point of calling GE the “green commie crap company”…..I just got a little wound up 😀
