I tend to agree with PhantomII. I rather think that the USAF / USN has the right idea with JSF. Think about it….

How many air to air kills have F-16’s claimed for example? However many it is, you can be rest assured that the F-16 has claimed a lot more air to surface kills.

I’d rather a strike fighter with good air to air capability rather than a sh1t hot highly agile interceptor / air superiority fighrt with limited air to ground abilities.

Now there’s bird flu to contend with…..drat!!!

That’s one of the problems with conspiracy theories…they produce more questions than answers.

It gets worse!!!! The lawyer he shot suffered a mild heart attack as the lead shot moved up to his heart!!! He’s now in intensive care!!! Good Lord!!!

Well this just proves that one has to hear the full story. Naturally I assumed it was a security scare of some kind. Apparantly, it was on a quail hunting trip in Texas. Cheney turned to hit a bird and “peppered” a companion with shotgut pellets….OUCH!!!

Veeeerrrry nice!!! Remember however, this is a display in the hands of a skilled pilot an a clean A/c with no weapons or external fuel.

I’d be more worried about Mig-31’s!!!! I like the B-1B. Perhaps it should be put back into production rather than the FB-22. Seriously, I hope you achieve your goals.

Living in LEEDS, I can say that the fares keep increasing despite a crappy service. Have never seen anyone take a bike on though….
