Comments: - - I'm sure scientists and engineers in the know will laugh at me, but I've always been amazed that they've nevertheless found a way to allow successful folding of wings on fighter planes like the F/A-18 and F-35C. the power of the engines and the forces they withstand when maneuvering at top speed. I know they may not match the agility of solid-wing Air Force aircraft, but it amazes me that they can still do the extreme maneuvers we've seen in various videos.
Our airlines in the UK operate a little differently, but it's amazing to watch these people's ability to operate aircraft in conditions that must be very challenging and must keep him safe.
My youngest, 19, graduated from Parris Island in November. It is a USMC Avionics technology and is assigned to the F-35. I'm proud of him!
Got to see Lincoln on his maiden voyage, I was aboard the USS Midway CV-41 and we were taking part in Operation Fiery Vigil, which evacuated Clark Air Base in PI. More than 18,000 military and civilian personnel were evacuated.
I was just a Hull Tech and the vultures are hovering over a group so I don't really know anything about the capabilities of the aircraft but it's surprising to me that we're moving towards single-engine carrier-based things. I don't know why it would look wrong on a ship across the big, great ocean but it is.
"Can't fly, spin, dogfight, terribly designed winged paperweight". All these years the USA fed everyone exactly what they wanted to hear and it worked out wonderfully. The F-35 and all its variants were wiped out before they were built. The sandbag business of the century. It's a great jet.
