Of course if those projections are wrong, or their effects are not exactly what we expect, we could also be overrun by a massive over-population of polar bears. This is exactly my problem with the global cooling global warming climate change believers: repeating (or exaggerating) supposed...

DAMMIT!!  :threat:

Nova Scotia something-or-others (they are located in NS, anyway)  ... there are units in other countries that haveused it as well ...

Cool pic of the day (not ours, but a great demonstration of it's capability (esp. vis-a-vis Airbus)): http://www.dailyaviator.com/?p=1245

R.O.S., This was the 4th reply to the original post: Your post was unnecessary (wrt laser surgery) and incorrect (wrt vision standards).

This guy needs a smack on the side of the head! He didn't earn that "precious peace of mind" by walking along a beach*:  those warplanes and their aircrews (along with the Army and Navy people) gave it to him! *which makes little sense, in any event

Interesting ... I just finished a book about Gen Horner (Every Man a Tiger) in which he recalled that the aim of the air campaign was to render the enemy militarily ineffective (i.e., <50% strength) through bombing ... seems like he achieved that objective ... not challenging you here, but I am...

It's kinda like the difference between a moving truck and a bunch of 4X4 pickup trucks ....

This is a great start! I was down at Boeing's final assembly plant in Everett yesterday (2 X 787 in the queue!) and they really seem to be getting their act together, unlike a particular European competitor ... Not so much cost, but just as the Herc wasn't cut-out to be a one-size-fits-all...

I just picked up on this thread - WTF?!? Well, you ABSOLUTELY SHOULD BE!!! On the subject of systemic state-sanctioned/tolerated rape in the course of war, you quite rightly broach the subject of Japan in WWII.  However, to have the temerity to START with while NOT EVEN MENTIONING the issue...

I understand that PFT-E is a *new* course (i.e., not just new to the CF), but yes, that's the idea. I'd have to check, but I'm 99% certain that it is an extension of the Allied Wings contract (and uses AW facilities, aircraft, etc.), ergo civillian instructors (many of whom are ex-mil.). ...

I'm pretty sure a number of other countries already stream their pilots from Day 1 (thus, it can be done).  Anyway ... Right now the first PFT-Extended courses are going on in Portage ... the program covers more-or-less the same curriculum as BFT (Moose Jaw), but is done on the Grobs and is...

And so it is ... things are getting interestinger and interestinger ...

That's awesome (ad the fishnet story is even better), but wrt to the title of the thread I'm pretty sure it should be Amarillo (Rotor City, USA/ The Yellow Rose of Texas), vice armadillo, the small hardshell mammal, that nonetheless can be found on the way to Amarillo.  (Sorry, I couldn't resist)
