after the show I smelled air force puke coming from my tv:icon_tong

 

[BarrettRC8]

Anyone else see this F-22/USAF propoganda?

I watched the first hour before I left and thought the same thing.

What % get scramjets?

 

[LazersGoPEWPEW]

Lol Lol!

They lost me at the point when the Raptor was going to use a Cobra menuver to "turn the tables."

After that I just went back to watching Saving Private Ryan.

I think we get the point, History Channel....the F-22 is a decent plane. Jesus.

Sad thing is it ain't gonna matter when we only have 100 of them against 1000 flankers

Is it sad that I saw this thread title and thought it was going to be about Michael Vick?

No, but somehow the History channel would put a Raptor in it.

1 F-22 against 15,437 rapid pitbulls.....

F-22 would win....however, against 15,437 RABID pitbulls, it would lose.

The B1 missile ship seems to be a clever idea, after all, isn't it the missile that will really be doing the work these days?

I don't even know what this means

 

[BENDER]

Didn't they have the "future" B1 that was redesigned to carry a shit load of (air to air) missiles, and launch them at multiple targets, working together with the F22? Or I am hallucinating?

You Sir might be coming down from a bad trip and read a bad Popular Science magazine while up there. A B1, has zero A/A capability and although not currently a fighter guy, I think it is a poor idea to have a "missile truck" for A/A. "Missile trucks" for A/G, well, that is what the B-52 is. But hell, you never know what DARPA is coming up with next.
