But forgetting that nonsense, I appreciate the wishes and wanted to hit you with a couple of issues I was able to read up on, follow on the news concerning current defense issues...
1. The F-35 as seen by Air Force Flight Test School...via Combat Aircraft Magazine...
Unfortunately the issue is by subscription only. It is well worth the read but here's the highlight from one of the pilots with the Air Force Flight Test School...
"It'a a little too early to tell but I would say that all indicators show that the F-35 can be a very capable airplane"
Major Matt Hayden, F-35 Flight Sciences Test Pilot, Edwards AFB
2. The NEO in Egypt. via Information Dissemination.
G-Man has been rather cautious in his outlook on this situation but I personally get the whiff that things might be a bit more dicey than many in the West are being told. If the Enterprise and her group are headed toward Egypt than the situation is not a benign as we are being told. Even now, I believe more is brewing beneath the surface and it deserves a much more careful look.
