Hey Brett,
I happen to know you are aware that your community has Growler "chosen" for the EA-18G...or are you trying to get a grassroots campaign started to shift it to F-35 so you can use "Shocker" for the G model Super Hornet???

She's pretty ... ain't technology grand!!

But ... Raptor???

I still long for names like .... Skyhawk .... Intruder .... Phantom .... Crusader ... Corsair II ..... Vigilante ..... Skywarrior .... Skyraider .... tough, mean, purposeful names.

Oh, well .......... :sleep_125

Those were great names........legendary........nothing new touches what they brought to the table.....IMHO of course

 

[snort]

Then why don't they call it ... Eagle?? Ooops ... that's right ... already taken.

I have a hard time getting all hot and breathy @ "raptors" when they lay around all day on my roof basking in the sun and squawking at me until I throw some hot dogs out onto the beach for them.

Raptor, my ass .... scroungers is more like it.

Yeah, but this ain't the same beastie. I hear the guys out of Tyndall almost every day. Wish I had that jet.

 

[Birdman]

Quick question though, with the F-15 still having complete air superiority and being a better plane then anyone else has. Why waste money on the F-22?

 

[A4sForever]

Yeah, but this ain't the same beastie. I hear the guys out of Tyndall almost every day. Wish I had that jet.

Uhhhhh ... sorry, I have no idea what you are talking about ... a "raptor" is a bird of prey.

You know, like an ... "Eagle". Like the "guys" on my roof ??? It's tongue in cheek --- a play on words.

Nothing literal here.

Nothing to look at here ....

So you hear them out of Tyndall almost every day ?? That's jolly. I used to beat them out of Tyndall almost every day. (clarification: i.e., twin-jet "raptors" in the form of F-15 "Eagles")

Wishin' ??? As long as we're wishin' .... wish I still had this jet.



Still wishing ??? A very wise Bombardier once told me ..."you can wish in one hand and sh!t in the other --- see which one fills up first ... "

Pure Navy poetry ...

Oh, what $133 million can buy! I heard that doing a roll right before you fire a sidewinder can increase accuracy and your chances at the bar later that night ... but thats only hear-say...
