    @Toocool12F: I choose to discard from my attention your nonsensical diatribe: cherry picking some of my points (and some that are not – VNE, where did I mention anything flying past its VNE?!) to pass them as your own arguments… You seems to try so hard that… I would rather not engage in a conversation with what is now a schizophrenic golden fish!

    @Hallow: there is more room in the German potential usage for a turboprop. Logically, It won’t be a souped-up Atlantic as mentioned before.

    negative. I refuse to explain to you AGAIN what have been discussed WITH you the min before.

    Don’t take me wrong, I DO like golden fishes… I simply rarely talk to them (at least with much expectation!).

    Oh and thank you for sabotaging this thread. After 1.5 pages of sterile denials, I guess we can put a term to it.

    Probably some form of DEW.

    Whoops…Inertia plays its part in ITR. There might have been some discrepancies b/w the two.

    The blue line probably on the diagram describes earth curvature. Hence missile engagement minimal altitude is 150m even at range. 🙂

    @ Archangelski: thank you! If ever you have that Mi28 image also I would be delighted to see it.

    There is also the problem of data survey that was not implemented early on.

    Strikes in Syria:
    JASSM-A:

    the JASSMs used in the April 14 strikes “were, in fact, not JASSM Extended Range (JASSM-ER) munitions, [but] rather, the munitions used were JASSM-A, or the standard, non-extended range versions of the munition,” AFCENT spokesman Capt. Mark Graff said Thursday.

    F22:

    , “U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptors played an integral role in protecting ground forces during and after the multinational strikes against Syrian chemical weapons production facilities on the morning of April 14.”
    […]
    “Thanks to its unique fifth-generation capabilities, the F-22 was the only airframe suited to operate inside the Syrian integrated air defense systems, offering an option with which to neutralize [Integrated Air Defense System] threats to our forces and installations in the
    region, and provide protective air support for U.S., coalition and partners on the ground in Syria,” Graff said.

    I though this thread was in a dire need of a refreshing interlude

    Let’s focus on the subject folks: Future Franco-German MPA.

    ‘Nerves of steel’: She calmly landed the Southwest flight, just as you’d expect of a former fighter pilot

    And sourced from UPI.com:

    Emergency alarms on the plane acted properly and the plane rolled at a severe 41-degree angle after the left engine failed, he said. He also noted “a fair amount of vibration” and said the airliner landed in Philadelphia at an above-average speed of 190 mph.

    Isn’t it interesting that what seems to be the pito tube is repositioned forward of the nose by the help of a tubular frame?

    Bank Angle Protection
    [Airbus FTCM, pg. 2.60.10] On commercial aircraft, 30° bank angle is normally not to be exceeded. A bank angle of 67° in level flight corresponds to the aircraft limit of 2.5 g. Therefore, 67° has been established as the bank angle limit. Approaching this limit, the roll rate is progressively reduced to avoid over-banking.
    This 67° bank angle limit is reduced to 45° in case of high speed protection.

    Some time Blue, a bit of reading don’t hurt. The above (extract from the flight manual) was posted yesterday (see page 2)…
