    Specifically, that's the CL-1200, which was a design for an improved Starfighter to compete in the export market in the 60s (against the F-5 and similar planes). It would've also had a larger wing and a bunch of other modifications.

    The shoulder mounted wing is a totally different shape and they made it about 3 feet longer, and apparently about 6000lbs heavier.  Interesting bird.

    A fairly detailed bit of journalism produced by The Sun-Sentinel newspaper detailing the failures of the Broward County Sheriffs Office and school employees in reacting to the Parkland Shooting.

    Craven cowardice and incompetence on display. Although the local Coral Springs officers seemed to have reacted appropriately.

     

    A useful learning tool.

    Holy shit. That's some actual real journalism. Been a while since I've seen any.

    " Five DesRon12 destroyers make formation S-turns in Iron Bottom Sound, off Guadalcanal. Savo Island is in the distance. They were returning from one of their raids on Rabaul in February 1944, and executed the high-speed turns as a salute to the three ships of the squadron that had been sunk in the vicinity of Iron Bottom Sound. This had become a custom whenever DesRon12 ships passed Savo Island after a successful raid against the Japanese. Commanded by Captain Rodger W. Simpson, the squadron raided Rabaul on 17-18 and 23-25 February 1944. His flagship was USS Farenholt (DD-491). Official U.S. Navy Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives.
