I spend a lot of time doing research, and passing on what I find to those who ask for help; if these are platitudes, then I’m proud of them, and will continue to offer help.

Then your research must be bogus or just plain bs.
If control laws helped, Chicago would be one of the safest cities in the country. It is one of the worst.
Gun control laws keep firearms out of the hands of law abiding citizens, and no one else.

If the ex-armed robber who is father of some of my nieces and nephews were still alive (cancer did him in) I would want him to meet you, he always liked a good comedian.

What a truly bizarre rant.

I’m not even sure what you’re trying to say and i’m not sure that you know either. The White House, Vietnam, George Bush, Iraq, HUMVEE’s and Jeeps, Nukes, just about everything except the evolution of air combat.

Air combat has evolved, hmmmm, your proof from what recent war?

Iraq where most the opposing air force ran for cover rather than fight, BRILLIANT.

Or are you just babbling on about comic book scenarios such as the infamous White Paper was based on?

And how many would have been shot, if there were no gun control legislation? But, of course, that’s a question that the anti-control set never answer (or even ask.)

As I posted earlier, some time back, Minneapolis, Mn had a murder rate that exceeded Chicago.
Not one single gun law was changed but they created a special group to go after the people doing the killing with great prejudice.

The murder rate dropped drastically after that and has not gotten near since.

We do not know what has ACTUALLY changed, this is just another version of the times that brought about GB’s White Paper, miserable start in Vietnam and how worthless the vehicle that replaced the Jeep actually was in an actual war zone.

Planning paper wars on maybe, might be, could be, wastes money and if a country gets into a full blown war, lives.

In a full blown war all the politically correct dung that is now getting soldiers killed will disappear quickly.

Also remaining is the fact that a few air-burst nukes will turn whizz-bang systems into worthless fried circuits. Anyone who thinks that would never happen probably would have been welcomed to sit at the planning for Bush’s attack on Iraq that turned out so well.

I could understand the UN wanting a no fly zone on humanitarian grounds to protect civilians from attack by their own country’s air assets but I see no valid grounds for this proposal. A no fly zone in order to protect people in an adjacent country so they can train to attack Syria? What are the ethical arguments in favour of this?

Bingo.
The West’s, especially Obama’s inept meddling in that part of the world (especially after criticizing Bush for his inept meddling) has turned fairly stable semi-dictatorships awaiting future elections into hell holes where chaos rules.

As not good as Iraq turned out, if Obama sticks his self-appointed saviour head into Syria, Iraq will look like a stunning victory.

RpR, Give us an example of what you term as “Silly” and “Moronic”.please.

Silly is hunting to hang a trophy on the wall, period.
I see nothing wrong with hunting for food, and if one bags an extraordinary one mounting it, but some people hunt just to have a stuffed head or animal. (The fact people go out to kill the biggest and the best is actually the most **** for brains thing done.)

Asinine is anyone who goes to a game ranch, which too often amounts to a animal be corralled and then shot, for supposed trophy

Even hunting dangerous game with all kinds of paid people backing one up in case the animal gets the best of him, or he panics, is actually the worse form of cowardice.
Stupidity has just rewards and if one goes hunting dangerous game and gets stupid, that one deserves to die.

Your scale is way off.
A pilot the size of the one in the Chinese plane would barely fit in the Hustler. With the eveloping ejection capsule he and ever other crew member sat in they simply will not fit.

As one can see from this photo, the front landing gear door bottom edge is about the same height as these two gentlement.

Yet the two people you have standing in the diagram the land gear door bottom edge is almost at their shoulders.
What are they NBA players?

This is what each crew member sat in.

Since how do we know this aircraft doesn’t use “every inch of space for that purpose” as well?
Do stealthy aircraft not generally have greater internal fuel capacity compared to similarly sized non stealthy aircraft on internal fuel? f-22/15, f-35/16

Good grief, the aircraft simply is too small .

The Hustler did not have a bomb bay, it had a fifty foot long pod, carrying 30,000 plus pounds of fuel that fit over the bomb carrying pod.
It would jettison the fuel pod before the run in for dropping the bomb.

The size of the weapon bay that some here have been floating around simply means there is not even remotely close to the room for airframe fuel that the Hustler had.
