    No, Mike need not do anything....it's the views from here that ate up room on the Photobucket server which caused the bandwidth issue...all bs in my opinion. Anyways, I upgraded to a pro account and now you should be able to see the photos without any problem. I'm creating an album on my...

    Hello Armynewsguy, The shots that I've posted above were all shot with the Canon 7D with either the 100-400mm or 24-105mm lens with the image stabilization (IS) turned on.  I find that the IS systems in both Canon and Nikon is a fantastic feature and should be used at all times...but this is...

    EX Maple Flag 2012

    My bad, I apologize.  Tonight I'm going to try to id whether the one in the picture is a stretched C.3 as opposed to a short C.1.  The RAF website about 47 Squadron just mentions that the plane is used, but not whether it was used by SF Flight.

    F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF)

    I understand that, and appreciate you pointing it out. Realistically though, isn't the higher cost simply calculated by adding factors which, according to the committee meeting, were never included in previous acquisitions?  And if they weren't included in previous acquisitions, then why the...

    F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF)

    I want to preface this by stating that I'm not in the military, nor do I have any extensive knowledge about the procurement process.  I just happen to believe that the F-35 is the right choice based on the public information that I've read up to this point. Is it just me, or does a committee...
