That reveal trailer made me feel like a kid again. I don't think a trailer has done that to me since...I was a kid. :joystick:

Hornets and Tomcats playing together on the same deck. :wub:

That is some true Hornet mastery right there! Also one of the better demos I've seen. :thumbup:

Wow! :shocking: The Hornet is of course stunning but how about that Harrier? Great article.

:wub::wub:

Ooooooh. Well that sucks. Do you know where the cabin altitude gauge in the Hornet is? Edit: Here it is, I think. It's the orange #2.

Correct. :thumbup: I didn't even know hypoxia was on the rise for them. Aren't they always breathing a safe o2 supply through a mask anyway?

:huh: But you're the one who refuses to believe Ryan Browne's report. If you're not on board, why not get to the bottom of it? It sounds like the Pentagon only planned on briefing the press. Without contacting the authors of the reports and/or Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, I don't know how you guys plan on learning if it was an AIM-9, or an AIM-120. Or what the pilot had for breakfast that morning.

Is defense.gov considered fake news? https://www.defense.gov/News/Article/Article/1220818/dod-official-sole-focus-in-iraq-syria-remains-on-isis/ The rest of the media was given information from Pentagon spokesman Jeff Davis. Not sure what CNN has to gain from lying about what type of missile was used. The general population probably doesn't even care. You could always contact DoD public affairs to see if there's any other media that's getting it wrong. :) 703-571-3343

If you're like me, and love a little wrist bling in the cockpit, you might find this interesting. Saw this article today stating the US Navy will begin issuing every F/A-18 pilot a Garmin Watch. (Above photo is of course the notorious Breitling B50) On a more serious note, I guess the aim is to reduce the risk of hypoxia "episodes" in the cockpit. http://www.military.com/daily-news/2017/06/16/the-navy-is-issuing-every-f-a-18-pilot-a-garmin-watch-heres-why.html

Well there you have it. Another report. Su-22 defeated the AIM-9 and it was followed up with a 120, just as Tom Cooper and SkateZilla had said.

Very interest read SkateZilla...awesome work digging that up. :book:

Those are beautiful, Jhuss96!

I love them, too. Excitement is a positive thing. :)

Hooray! My new home for years to come! :D Edit: I see you, Snake. ^ ;)
