Legendary pilot Chuck Yeager gave his take on the F-35 the other day in 3 terse words on twitter...

"waste of money"

Still many doubters about it out there, but its hard to not be swayed by recent reports like the ones coming out the Red Flag event where they absolutely dominated everything, including SAM sites

It certainly has been slow in coming, but lately it looks like once they eventually get the expected sensor, data fusion capabilities and flight performance upgrades, it'll almost be like a ghost... "you cant fight what you cant see"

Aim-54 Phoenix missile, that could only be carried by the f14 tomcat for fleet defense. the deadliest conventional air to air missile in our inventory (retired lol) one tom cat could take out one Soviet bomber and 5 cruise missiles from over 100 miles away.

On iPad can somebody embed please

He and the RIO survived with only minor injuries, IIRC.

Time for an up-close look at a piece of Russian hardware, they make some real beauties, like the legendary Su-30 and its variants

Chuck Yeager is immortal, the man is 93 years old and still sharper than most men half his age

If you're a Tweeter, follow someone who puts the Legend in living legend

What is going on with the Brits main battle rifle, Donger?

It really is an awkward looking weapon, it appears to have the ergonomics of a brick to go along with other problems
