As far as I can see the Government put the Axe to the entire program.....

[Dunenewt]

No, I doubt it. We've put

[exatreide]

Doubt we will stop useing them...

And the raptor would so own your so called aircraft  ;)

[Dunenewt]

LMAO!

The Typhoon costs half as much so we could produce two for everyone you make and our pilots are much more skilled than yours!

[exatreide]

Yea sure...And i'm a chinease jet pilot....

[Dunenewt]

Well you must be drunk.

[thomas]

our pilots are much more skilled than yours!

two words, bull shit

I want some form of fact to that statement

[Dunenewt]

The War against Iraq.

[thomas]

that's just a war, no facts. I want some facts

[Anathema]

When the Meteor BVRAAM enters service, the Eurofighter along with the Rafale and possibly Gripen will have the best AA capabilities in the world.

[thomas]

better than the super tomcat?

[Apollyon]

Guys, I think I can settle this by saying that my penis is at least 2 or 3 inches bigger than yours.  ;)

[Dunenewt]

Easily better than the Super Tomcat.  And Apollyon, yours is in-growing, so it doesn't count.

[Cyborg]

Why should the Raptor be best when it cost as much as two other decent aircrafts?

US Navy

This is a transcript of an ACTUAL radio communication between a U.S. NAVY ship and Canadian authorities off the cost of Newfoundland, October 1995. Radio log released by the Chief of Naval Operations 10/10/95:

CANADIANS: Please divert your course 15 degrees South to avoid collision.

AMERICANS: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees North to avoid a collision.

CANADIANS: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

AMERICANS: This is the captain of a U.S. Navy ship. I say again, divert.

CANADIANS: No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.

AMERICANS: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH. I SAY AGAIN, THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER-MEASURES

WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

CANADIANS: This is a lighthouse . . . Your call.

[Cyborg]

Hehe, I've read it before.

It's a good example of the USA's "do as we say or die" mentality.

[Jack Leaf]

Don't you understand that it's a joke? I've read it from... let's say like 10 jokebooks, and the oldest one was written in 94...

[Cyborg]

It still has a very good point...

[Kiyouta]

Nah, I just think its a funny joke. I dont think its symbolic of anything... pfft bit like Dune really  :O

It's real.

[leo]

Israeli pilots own ya all.  ;)

[Dunenewt]

Only because you get more operational experience.  Do helicoptors come under army or air force command in Israel?

[Dunenewt]

Ok, it's still funny though, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was true.

[ordos45]

Just wait if it isn't...one day some lighthouse will probably be changing the bulb and someone probably will ram a carrier into it in the fog and rain.
