Hammer.

While calling me rude, you seem to have failed to notice that Ja commented, and I quote…

“Tell the guys over there to give up the dope and clear their heads!”

Direct accusation of drug abuse and I get reamed for being rude? Do you have some kind of double standard in operation? None of the other posters have stooped to accusations like Ja has. They just expressed their dislike. So far, I’m the only person who has really made an effort to quantify why I like or dislike the new roundel.

Have you even taken a close look at this roundel? The only explanation is drug abuse- or, perhaps they took a bunch of Eurocrat’s 10 year olds, stoned ’em out on Ritalin and a double shot espresso, gave ’em some crayons and told them to “have at it.”

The best way to bring down a B-2 is to keep Rumsfeld in charge of the Pentagon.

Never knew F-5’s had JATO capability…….is it used often?

Not sure about the F-5E/F family, but I know that Norway’s F-5As were equipped for short field operations and that necessitated JATO operations.

If I became head of my country’s armed forces the first thing I’d buy is a baseball bat to clock Donald Rumsfeld in that fat head of his.

Dude, pass the Babelfish…….

Wasn’t there also a Russian cruise missile design that had a mid-mounted set of swept blades (sort of like a UDF engine)?

Another small carrier design was the Air Capable Spruance.

The design options ranged from a Spruance with a much enlarged hangar and flight deck allowing operation of up to 6 or eight helos (not all at once of course) through to a through deck carrier based on the Spruance hull.

Good thing you posted that, Mike. If you hadn’t already, I would have had to dig that up from Airlinebuzz and post it here!:D The Air Capable Spruance was the first thing I thought of when I read the title of this thread!
