  5. they do to the only other really effective CAS platform pilots....AH64's what has been suggested and shot down many many times is to move the A10s into Army Aviation.. but the AF has a fit anytime the army suggests getting back into fixed wing flight.. hell they now want to direct the ground battle from the air.. "Battle Management Platform" my ass, dont they know how cheap anti-radiation missiles are? whats going to push the pendulum the other way is the development of cheaper lighter more effective manpak SAMs..once every infantry man becomes a threat to that million dollar aircraft the wingnuts will wake up.. anyone think a flyby-wire inherently unstable airframe can take the damage an A-10 can and still make it home?? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

  7. actually i was one of the guys beating the refresh button at work during the nationals so i really appreciate all the results, anecdotes and pictures you guys posted.. i totally understand your reasons for returning when you did, but as a FF it would have been wonderful to get the same level/depth of coverage that we got for the RW events. once again thanks for all the work you did do. if work schedule permits i'll be at nationals next year and would be happy to volunteer some time to help! ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

  9. Two Arabs are in a locker room taking a shower after their racquetball game, when one notices the other has a huge cork stuck in his butt. "If you do not mind me saying," said the second, "that cork looks very uncomfortable. Why do you not take it out?" "I can not", lamented the first Arab. "It is permanently stuck in my butt." "I do not understand," said the other. The first Arab says, "I was walking along the beach and I tripped over an oil lamp. There was a puff of smoke, and then a huge old man in red, white and blue attire, with a white beard and top hat came oozing out. He said, I am Uncle Sam, the Genie. I can grant you one wish." I said, "No shit." ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  10. exactly, but to the modern AF its just not "bang-Wiz" enough.. if desert storm had never happened and the A-10 hadnt had that chance to prove itself it would already be gone. As was, it was mostly at the Air Guard and Reserve level then, and thoose guys ended up with 1000s of hours of missions. the F16 was designated as its replacement, but did not have the single strike firepower that the A10 does. the F22 will but cannot loiter the way the A10 can.. in the close air support world the ability to wing over at 50mph and attack your target a second time in under 5 sec is a godsend to the guys on the ground... the really sad thing is they wont trasnfer that mission, and the planes that do it best to the army. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  11. unfortunatly that one of the first steps they are taking to 'help' retire the A-10.. grrrrrrr wingnuts just dont understand how much can happen while that fast mover has to turn around for another pass... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

  21. well it will make them more sensitive, for about 2 years..till they completely heal, then they become less sensitive. I had one of mine done and loved it till i started to notice that it wasn’t having the same effect it used too. Still you can do some eally interesting ‘links’ if your bf has them too. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

    Quade, a good friend of mine did exactly that when she flew down to florida. she caught it after her first jump, but told me she broke out into cold sweats and nearly puked when she saw it i grabbed a couple of the "remove before flight" streamers used to use on weapons and engine pins for her to help prevent any chance of reoccurrence when she travels. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
