Posted by David Cenciotti...he's got a serial number from the downed helo!

You have got to go to David's Blog to read the story on this.  His reporting on the air war in Libya is second to none and his coverage of this 'stealth' helo ranks up there as well.

MASSIVE HAT TIP TO YOU DAVID!

CAD of the damaged MH-60 tail section.

David sent me this CAD of the tail section of the MH-60.  Now if this doesn't grab your attention nothing will.  According to the comments section on this website, it originated on Military Photos.

Thanks David!  This is beyond interesting.

3-73 CAV Airborne Operation.

Check out the PLF on the last few photos....ouch!

Another Copalman special.  You really should check out his Flickr page.

Geez! What does it take to kill this thing! The Vampire engine rises again.

Wow.  I was amazed to read this.  Thanks Joe for sending it... GE (and an obviously loopy Congressman from Ohio seated in the Leaders Speakers chair) is obviously not to be underestimated.  Via FrumForum

WASHINGTON — The Department of Defense hasofficially canceled a contract for a General Electric-developed F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. Both the Houseand the Senate have blocked funding for it, arguing that one engine for one plane is enough.
Connecticut-based Pratt & Whitney won the original contract for one engine, while a GE-Rolls Royce alliance has been developing a second engine. The latter has become a symbol of government waste, and the White House has promised to veto any bill that funded the alternate program.
Yet the engine simply won’t die.
The House Armed Services Committee released its spending outlines for the coming fiscal year Tuesday, and the second engine is right back in.

Private William Hudson in Aliens

Pmiglio put together every line uttered by Hudson in Aliens...pretty funny...besides...we needed a little change of pace.

Boeing...you suck.

Trimble over at the Dew Line linked to what he called some very cool photos released by Boeing.  Can't tell because you have to be a registered journalist to get the hi-rez version of them.

Really?

Really Boeing?

Has the fight with Airbus made you this big a pussy?

Have they kicked you in the nuts so many times that you've turned into penny pinching idiots?  I mean for heaven sakes...they have military equipment being sold to my nation and yours...they're trying to rally the public to speak up for this domestic company and the sorry bastards want to charge for high resolution pics?

Heck, I'd register and get them for ya but guess what!  Unless you have an Aviation Week or Flight Global beside your name then you're just not relevant in their eyes.

Amazing.

Boeing.  You Suck.

Take a page from Lockheed Martin...EADS...General Dynamics etc.  Your public relations model is from the 18th century.
