    Nothing really informative in this thread. As well as Yak-38 Rolling take-offs were conducted with the lift engines deflected aft, the main engine nozzles being rotated automatically from 60° to 25° during the take-off run, before being slowly returned to the horizontal as the lift engines were shut down.

    I only see pics of the Yak-38 with clean armament, rockets and missiles.

    Should’ve put a different plane instead of the Yak-38, but good try 🙂

    Want to read the US Navy Airpower Review 2013.

    in reply to: USAF to retire A-10 fleet or the B-1B fleet? #2247200

    A-10’s have done alot of CAS missions. I wouldn’t consider To retire The A-10 fleet, probably the tax payers would lose such amount of jobs up to 10,000$ each. Now the A-10’s consider to be the protector of the troops on the ground. If the A-10 fleet would be retired by the USAF, there would be such a flaw on protecting the troops. But the A-10 is maneuverable and slow. A-10 would be considered to stay until the F-35 comes. But there’s tremendous flaws on the F-35’s CAS mission requirements. People complain that in CAS the F-35 has a disadvantage of staying slow. But i think there should be a Super Thunderbolt to have an upgrade to all of the A-10 fleets.

    Now considering the B-1 Lancer is the opposite of Ground Attack. The government rejected the idea of upgrading a new B-1 lancer in to the B-1R. The B-1R is a proposed upgrade of existing B-1B aircraft. The B-1R (R for “regional”) would be fitted with advanced radars, air-to-air missiles, and new Pratt & Whitney F119 engines. This variant would have a top speed of Mach*2.2, but with 20% less range. It would’ve been fitted with AESA radar and would’ve had AIM-120s to carry for self defense. If needed the B-1R could escape from unfavorable air-to-air encounters with its Mach 2+ speed.

    The B-1 Lancer hasn’t gone up doing strategic missions and hasn’t flow since. But the B-1 doesn’t encounter with the troops on the ground. Isn’t a CAS platform. It’s a strategic bomber. So the i’d take the USAF to retire the B-1 fleet. They do nothing but fly the B-1. There’s no missions in which the B-1 has to do right now. No strategic missions required anymore

    A corpse – followed by a rotting corpse or a pile of grey bone ashes. Just that, nothing more.

    The original plan was for the F/A-18F’s to replace the Tomcat’s. Now considering both the E and F operate in the same role. I wonder how the come to the current mix of Single and Twin Seat Models???

    They are mixed in CVW fleets. It’s a thing they have to do is to balance the F-18 fleet. You can’t even up the squadrons in a ship like 1’s VFA-102 with a whole fleet. So they have to mix the fleet up in order to do carrier operations. But they acquire diffrent missions but same role requirements. Like VFA-102 is mixed up into VFA-115 beacuse there based on Naval Air Facility Atsugi. It’s another thing why there mixed up beacuse the squadrons are actually based on a airbase facility.

    Well a little bit scared, when you die things go wrong. It’s how you die, you die. Most people die from car accidents, drug overdose, heart attacks and cancer.

    It’s weird how humans have to die in a way.

    You know…… Your never going to really know how or which way you die. What im scared of dying is a huge asteriod hitting earth or dying brutaly by somebody. Yea i know. But what we want to know is Heaven real? Or not? I belive it’s real.

    But i don’t know why humans and things have to die. Whish we had an unlimited life.

    But there’s got to be something after death. Life isn’t the end you know 😉
