Kanye West is now an expert in hydrogen powered air transport, proposes to ditch Air Force One for "Apple-made" iPlane One. Yes, this is for real. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/11/kanyes-apple-iplane-1-for-trump-was-designed-by-someone-else.html

I was there, some roads got flooded and some trees got ripped out... otherwise, it was just loads of rain for a couple of days.

IMO, this excerpt is even more interesting: Gives new meaning to "shoot and scoot".

Sounds like probe and drogue is still a problem for the C version.

"Any day now" http://airforcemag.com/Features/Pages/2018/August 2018/Two-Years-On-Goldfein-Says-Operations-Show-F-35-a-Game-Changer.aspx I thought DOT&E said there's no way fleet-wide availability can rise any time soon?

I can't believe people still claim A and B variant are "handicapped" because of B's lift fan. Is googling "F-35 variants" so flipping hard?! I mean, it may have been a funny meme once upon a time, but by god has it overstayed its welcome. edit: I've decided to make this and leave it here, maybe someone might find it useful.

Because an F-35 is going to do ground support from below 1000 feet (not that the A-10 does much of that as well once you hang Hellfires and LGBs from it). What's next, judging an A-10 by its ability to go supersonic?

Why not?

The F-35 is bad because "it doesn't have armour". The F-35 is bad because "it's too heavy". Which one is it then!??!?! FFS

Dutch MH17 investigation officially blames Russians for the shoot-down: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-44252150 On a related note, Bellingcat identified a possible commander of the operation as a Russian GRU officer: https://www.bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-europe/2018/05/25/mh17-russian-gru-commander-orion-identified-oleg-ivannikov/ -
Or in other words, LM didn't want to take chances with someone being able to measure the RCS of the F-35.

That makes me wonder - how bad for the environment are these smoke charges in Alzoc's post?

100% genuine conversation that led up to Kinzhal: "Ivan, let's try to make MiG-31 useful in strike role" "Just strap an Iskander on it" "Ivan, you're a genius."
