Talks Over Aircraft Subsidies In Jeopardy

Next round, folks!

Looks like a misunderstanding/misinterpretation of a phone conversation:

Talks Over Aircraft Subsidies In Jeopardy

The Bush administration signaled yesterday that negotiations with the European Union over subsidies to Boeing Co. and Airbus SAS were on the verge of breaking down, raising the likelihood that the two sides will fight the matter out in a high-stakes international trade case

In that case, the U214-class submarine would be a good option for the Brazilian Navy!

Nice pic’s!!!

I’m afraid I can’t see any pictures at all.

Was it foggy??? 😉

I had to disable my pop-up filter on my internet browser to see the pictures
Maybe you have to do the same.

I think, you all are refering to this discussion:

The livery reminds of a livery I saw on a big plane nearly 2 mouths ago! 😉 :dev2: 😀

2. I read, that the rafale only flew low over or maybe did also touch and go-landings on a USN carrier (CVN-74 ?).
The French Navy has the same CATABAR system like the USN, but maintance tools, equiment etc. are different.

Tanker Airship

I presume, such a tanker airship would be stationed over the oceans serving aircrafts flying between the continents. I can’t see in the trailer,if this airships stands still and the aircraft are flying VTOL or airship and aircraft flying both at low steady speed. They could be flying on circle route as you see in the ring explosion.
The next step would to serve the aircraft not only with fuell but also with ammo, burgers and freedom fries:

The USN have their carriers, they USAF have their oversees AFB’s (e.g Guam, Diego Garcia, the Azores etc.),so AA-refueling(AAF) is nearly all over the oceans for US aircraft possible. As we all know, the US have small tankers like the F/A-18 (buddy-buddy) and big tankers like the KC-10 (both AAF-systems).

To defend such a thing in the sky would be very nonsensical.
Just remind yourself of WW1, seeing the german zeppelins bursting into flames.
OK, with helium, AWACS, bullet-proof skin,electro-magnetic-shields against AAM’s, the airship could survive! But that’s all SF! 😉

The USAF will be getting new KC-767’s or KC-330, the RAF and RAAF also the A-330 MRTT, the germans and canadians A-310 MRTT and the Italian AF also the KC-767.

To sum it all up:
So such a tanker airship is not necessary.
