I have known pilots who have, they don't recommend the experience.

Spinal issues tend to be the result.
Others have raised the issue as well and not just for interceptors....

and given the complexity of today's weapons, spinning up production isn't quick and easy.

re: New LUCAS system used.

from TWZ - $35k

quote:

“Costing approximately $35,000 per platform, LUCAS is a low-cost, scalable system that provides cutting-edge capabilities at a fraction of the cost of traditional long-range U.S. systems that can deliver similar effects,” Navy Capt. Tim Hawkins, a CENTCOM spokesperson, told TWZ back in December. “The drone system has an extensive range and the ability to operate beyond line of sight, providing significant capability across CENTCOM’s vast operating area.”

I'd like to see additional confirmation on this...

This is the second time in months we've shredded their Chinese designed anti-air defenses. I doubt they see any humor in that.


Question is - how much of the failure is due to the equipment and how much to poorly/insufficiently trained operators?

re: Update: War in Iran thread

The War Zone has a piece on possible implications/complications of a US airstrike on Iran.

Items such as 1) what is the goal of the strikes, 2) Israeli involvement, 3) Iran's response through all it's weapons and agents, 4) the shortage of US and Israeli defensive weapons (eg Patriot missiles).

Good read IMO.

They tend to be skeptical of Trump and many commenters are hostile due to his actions (or lack) wrt Ukraine/Russia.

So they have been 1) exposed to the leftwing propoganda longer and 2) often have had to agree with it to receive their degrees - esp the humanities.
you must live a miserable life...

So do you want boomer's to keep working so they continually pay into the systems?

Or do you want them to retire so younger workers can advance?

Or just die?

I suspect the latter...
"Chameleon Carriers" is the term Ike of Bonehead Truckers use for these companies that swap numbers on the fly ....
the YT channel "Bonehead Truckers" has shown the addresses of many of these "companies" and it is an apartment.

Seems many brokers(?) don't even do the basic level of checking that you do....
First flight of the F-35 was 2006. The senior test pilots are often older than you think...
Lockmart not one of the 2 tech companies...

Two separate designs by non-traditional defense companies CoAspire and Zone 5 Technologies will be manufactured
pretty well stocked for wartime.
They may have imagined it but didn't want to avoid windows for the duration if they voiced it out loud
I saw an article where commercial developers were having issues finding large tracts of land as data centers were out-bidding them by a substantial margin.

Unfortunately, I don't recall where this was....

re: Anyone Been to Iceland??

No problem.

I hope you find places to stay - it's a beautiful country.

We did a 2 week driving tour on the Ring Road a few years ago. Booked through Iceland Tours. Did it with another couple and had a great time; this was during the month of June.

Below is the list of "mid-level" hotels we stayed at. Most were fairly small hotels but were comfortable and easy to find.

Some had restaurants, some included breakfast, some just had a bar.

I don't have the prices.

Hope this helps
