Because unlike you I'm a normal person and I don't think responding to your ranting is so important to actually click onto my PM database to find out exactly what my response was I simply referred to my memory…
I don’t think you’ve made a very convincing argument to this effect…
I'll leave it to the rest to determine which is the teenage rant or in your words "mouth frothing personal attack"Abraham Gubler said:
Very mature...
Did it? Do you even know what egress means? Because that is what the F-117 shot down over Bosnia was doing at the time it was hit, but nevermind about facts, Weasel, there are only about 1 million websites that discuss the shootdown...
Whatever. Continue with your fantasies, deliberate mis-interpretation of a discussion, Ad Hominem attacks and off-topic rubbish. I've more than had enough of you. Keep it up though and you won't be posting on Defencetalk for much longer.
Its a very simple proof.
Never disagreed with the shoot down.
Warning about what? Are you claiming you never said this?
Sorry, but if you insist on claiming you never stated this. Just don't expect me to agree.
Remember that whole "stealth shootdown" thing dingyibvs and I were actually discussing, before you joined in and mis-directed the entire discussion?
Dingyibvs' sole post in #800 did not mention Bosnia.
It’s pretty, bloody obvious…
Four comments there that are quite personal. I responded again pointing out some more mistakes in your argument and saying in response to your “What you fail to understand” comment:
You went rapidly downhill from there, no one else. You are the one who constantly injects venom and vitriol against anyone who questions your opinion. The rest of us respond with facts and further explanation of our interpretations. That you further edit such events in your mind to transfer all blame onto others, like your infamous claim that I was sending you multiple abusive PMs, is a further worry.
Since when is failing to understand something a personal attack. Are you claiming you know everything that a failure to understand affects your ego that much?
That is a correct statement. It would be meaningless to accept that F-15E is better than stealth. How is that an insult or a personal attack?
Wow, just because I can't change views and accept it = personal attack. That's new english to me. You'd probably read that as a personal attack too!
on the f35 ground/taxi photo -- is that one of those 'blocks' just in front of the vert-tails that were installed on the f18 to break up the vortices from the LERX - causing turbulence/structural damage to the vert tails??

Disregard my earlier. That covering, whatever it is, is part of the mission system. AF-3 and BF-4 are the only platforms to have them yet. They of course are the only "mission systems" equipped platforms in the program at this stage. They are on the upper and lower sides of the aircraft as seen here:
thanks -
Certainly not with the ease of access that the F-35 has. That is part of the almost unique level of criticism of the platform, I think.
It's interesting witnessing this situation after reading the book "Skunk Works" by Ben Rich, where he talks about the level of oversight and process involved in getting something like the SR-71 approved for development/production, or even earlier than that, when Kelly Johnson would go and have lunch with a USAF general, make an unsolicited proposal, they'd visit a couple of higher ups in the afternoon and by the end of the day they had a contract.... there's actually a chapter where Rich goes into the importance of Skunk Works' way of doing business and how too much oversight and bureaucracy can stifle a project and inflate the cost enormously.
There is a time and place for public oversight - and I have no problem with it as a check and balance issue
