When everyone was focused on a Raptor production restart, they snuck new B-2 in.

This is a gaffe/misquote but this would’ve been a great idea about 10-15 years ago.

For posterities sake, and to say I got to chime in on this-

China’s jet prototype reveal is a shot across the bow. A lot like the J-20 13 hears ago.

We know they’re good at building jets, and this is just a prototype. It’s big, it seems stealthy, and has a very large internal weapons bay.

Merry Christmas to all of y’all…

Sure, let’s invade one of the most staunchly pro-US countries in Latin America for access to a canal we have literally never had any issues accessing.

Personally I’m drinking for the poor souls running SOUTHCOM
It’s not just that they’re so evil, it’s that they’re evil and dumb and proud of it.

First off, praise God both aircrew got off of the jet safely. That should be everyone’s first reaction here.

Second, there’s going to be a very thorough investigation that’s going to result in a LOT of firings.

RIP Big Sexy. Taken from us far too soon.

Look… the Average American believes inflation is tied to foreign aid and reducing government spending wards off recession.

Not being able to identify airplanes at altitude as anything other than the grey men or dragons of yore is NOT surprising.

Real ones just don’t have an attention span long enough for most podcasts.
Unlike you plebeians I don’t hold any incoherent and idiosyncratic beliefs.

I am an old fashioned ideologue and prefer my ideology pure and untainted by podcasts.

Congrats to Top Aces pilot Don "Rhett" Butler for reaching an incredible 4,000 flight hours in the F-16! He spent 20y in the USAF as an F-16 pilot, then went on to work for LM as a civilian F-16 instructor, evaluator and test pilot. He joined Top Aces Corp. in Sep 2023. www.f-16.net/pilots-profi...

Russiaphobia is such a strange term. One, it's hatred not fear, two, a phobia is irrational and excessive. The evidence says it's rational and measured to feel this way about Russia and, unfortunately, the hegemonic culture of modern Russia!

I give up watching college football. I need to invest my emotional health in something far more competitive, the Syrian Civil War.

I watched a 4-ship of F-35s, outnumbered, beat dedicated air superiority platforms at range in the exercise environment. “Master of none” my ass.

I still don’t get the “age of drones”. You aren’t winning tactical intercept with quadcopters. Even optionally manned systems are in their infancy.

He has the technical and operational knowledge of air power of your average DCSer. Check that, they’re more credible.

No Elon, the great minds at WPS never considered IADS or being a ground kill. You ARE a genius. We should get rid of this critical capability in favor of “drone swarms.”
The man truly is the textbook example of the Dunning–Kruger effect
