What about all the adverts that portray men as juvenille, ineffective or just plain stupid. The women, meanwhile are sassy, switched on, not to say rather smug. What about the Heinekin ad…

Only men who can’t write Heineken are juvenile, ineffective or just plain stupid. The rest is OK :dev2:

PLA,
Discussing the article on IDEAS and the credibility of the Jane’s correspondent who wrote it is well within the scopes of the topic.

Historic significance?
Meteor/Me-262
F-86/MiG-15
F-4 Phantom (first multirole)
MiG-21 (supersonic for the masses)
MiG-25 (starting a berserk Überfighter-armsrace which lead to the F-15, then to the Su-27 series, now to the F-22).

Because me like?
Hunter
Buccaneer
MiG-23
MiG-25
AJ-37 and other Viggens in splinter camo
F-4 Phantom
Vautour.

Greece knows how to revive Mirages – there’s also the one that ditched and brought back to life.

I wonder why nobody says that everytime Belgian or Dutch F-16’s intercept
a suspected airliners every now and then :rolleyes:

Well, the Dutch don’t divert aircraft to Denmark or Luxemburg. That’s the problem i have with Israel’s actions.

Sadly Arthur, that’s a luxury of space that we just don’t have.

I think Uvda/Ovda (is Uvda the correct spelling? I always thought it was with an O) is pretty remote, down there in the Negev. I can imagine that i would prefer my own (Israeli) bombsquad snooping through a suspect aircraft than someone else’s (Cypriotic) sappers. When trying to entrance to a suspected ‘threat’ like Israel has done now today, you also deny yourself the possible intelligence. If the Cypriots actually had found something aboard, i’m not so sure if that would have given the same possibly useful anti-terrorist information to Israel as would have happened if Israeli specialists combed the plane.

Also, as was said before: you shouldn’t overestimate the danger of a crashing airliner, especially not if it’s blown up at a few thousand feet. It has no chance of taking as many lives as were lost on 9/11.

Personally I don’t think there will be a toilet in the eventual production machines. Pilots have been make do with diapers or disposal bags (a urine condom if you will) for a long, long time now. I don’t see why that should suddenly change.

Besides, if they got the plumbing there already, it’s much cooler to install a jacuzi 😀

**Edited by google: We can argue about this in PMs. 🙂

Mind you, Sens has given valid reasons why Erez’ fears are unfounded. Hence the word paranoia is in place.
