+1 1. maven101 commented 16 years ago on video F-22 maneuverability

What is the mission for this aircraft..? Fighter, bomber, close air support..? Or all the above....BTW, the falling leaf maneuver has been around since WW1 with the biplanes...

VTOL ( vertical take-off and landing ) has been around since 1954. Too late for Korea, and still undeveloped 10 years later for Viet Nam. The Brits finally used them in the Falklands war during the 80's. The Marines are finally getting the VTOL Osprey, a multi-purpose aircraft that carries troops, extracts wounded, delivers bombs, and provides close air support. Semper Fi....

Big deal..I live in Palm Springs, California and the car scene is the same...I didn't notice any Arab made cars...I guess they just drive 'em...or their 100 dollar a month Pakistani does...and, man, does that screeching music suck..big time.

Reminds me of the experiment going on somewhere in the Nordic countries where they have eliminated all traffic lanes, signals, and signs. The results have shown reduced traffic problems, and surprisingly, more courtesy.

Might be something to this anarchy thing after all....

Where do I send a contribution..? Few people would take action like this Lady in addressing the problem of these unfortunate stray cats...its a sad fact that EVERY large city in the world has its share of stray cats ( and dogs ).

Capture, neuter, and place these animals in homes where they have so much love to give...I have 2 adopted cats, I can't imagine taking care of over 100..! :O
