#2 I noticed during the touch and go that the plane didn't have a tailhook out.

#3 OK, so it can do carriers. But can it land at SFO?

#6 Those were strong young men in a towel wrapped locker room shower scene. They weren't gray. Well, Tom Skerrit was a little gray. Actually his moustache was really gray. The other guy was just balding, he wasn't gray.

#9 FYI WAFF > VIDEO: MODEL OF FUTURE RUSSIAN AIRCRAFT CARRIER WID PAK-FA.

Russan Navy's version = copycat? of the UK's CVF = QUEEN LIZ [-ski] CLASS??

* SAME > F-35: BORN IN THE USSR?

Also, as per FREEREPUBLIC, the USN intends to name the next CVN21 [FORD-class CVN/CVNF] the new "USS ENTERPRISE".

Correct me iff I'm wrong, but I recall an Artic in the MSM-Net last week it costs the USN too much to demobilize or scrap the CVN-65, as per the on-going sequester - I STILL SAY GIVE CVN-65 TO THE BRITS FOR TRAINING + USE UNTIL THEIR CVF COMES IS COMMISSIONED.

#10 Call Sign 'Salty Dog 502' That is the Strike Aircraft Test directorate @ PAX ( I was the Grumman-side Maint. Chief 91-94) and the 500 series have been traditionally reserved for the Attack community. I expect they will soon be hanging some ordnance on them for evaluations. Can the obligatory Buddy Store be far behind? Lawn darts need love too, ya'know.
