Start of a big fucking religious debate that has ruined a fairly entertaining thread: WTF?

Of course, they'll be supported by "black world" tankers.....I hear those guys only operate in cloud (for stealth) and the booms don't even ask for tail numbers.

FIFY

Picked up a pristine Marlin Model 60 at the fun show this morning, $125 out the door and except for a few minor marks on the stock (which I've already fixed), it looks new. I picked up a Ruger 10/22 a few months back and I can't wait to compare them. Most of what I've read is while there are more "goodies" for the Ruger, the Marlin is a better shooting rifle. The biggest difference is that it's tube-fed, and not magazined like the 10/22; but I am keeping it stock with the iron sights as most people recommend that. Range report to follow... Cheers! M2

But the new CSAF is going to make everything amazing and great! Didn't you know that? He would never do anything like that. (Sarcasm)

Hey everybody lets have a big fucking argument about religion. I'm sure we'll finally sort it all out this time.

They do, it's just not that apparent in the video. Performance isn't exactly stellar at the weights/speeds they're flying, so you're not going to see them swooping in from high above or climb out at 5000'/min, especially if they didn't get the drop off. Sometimes, the lead plane will take a MAFFS tanker around for a "show me" pass at a higher altitude to show the crew the line he wants them to drop on as well as the escape path he has in mind. They then drop down low for the second pass & drop.

I think compulsory service is a better idea than a draft.
