Cool. I like the rows of F-35 in final assembly. Word is, they got the 100th F-35 in the jigs now.
This is the first footage I've seen of the fly-in tailhook engagements. For future scoring reference, note the test setup has only 1 wire while the ship has 4. So when the final configuration of the arresting gear happens in the near future, factor the missing wires into whtever score you hear/read about.
When is Elements of Power getting updated? I always like your take on things. Also, have you seen this: http://defense.aol.com/2013/02/01/navy-will-cancel-maintenance-on-23-ships-on-feb-15-small-shipy/
Thanks. I will start posting again pretty soon. I'm working killer hours and have a major home repair project I'm just starting to turn the corner on. I've barely had time to check the few blogs I visit and spank a couple of haters every now and then.
for me its all about the budget now. love the F-35 but if i had to prioritize for the Marine Corps then armor would come first.
whats the word on how the dems and republicans are viewing the defense budget now that they've experienced what happens when you slash defense spending.
