    That guy is *an officer* in the US Air Force? How embarrassing for you all.

    Wow. BA really isn't what it used to be.
  4. Steve Davies
    Nope. Dunno.
  5. Steve Davies
    Not sure whether serious.
  6. Steve Davies
    Valid question.

    The irony. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-22487205

    Unconfirmed reports of a tanker down after take-off in Kyrgyzstan: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-22397266 If correct, a really bad couple of weeks for US aviation.

    Nice personal attack. There are many questions surrounding whether this was an avoidable failure. I am quite happy to hear someone explain to me that nothing could have been done, but the questions I am asking here as an interested observer (not as a journalist) seem to be similar to the ones that your own government is starting to ask. If it's no longer acceptable to ask open questions here at BO, or to point out the obvious, without a so-called moderator resorting to ad hominen attacks, then what has become of this site?

    He's been charged as a civilian for the use of a WMD (amongst other things). BBC report After all this time, I should have known.

    To be clear, I am not bashing the FBI... My point was something already has gone wrong, and it went wrong on the FBI's watch. There are no guarantees that any prosecution case will be built as spotlessly as you suggest. We are all human and all fallible.

    The same FBI that investigated one of the suspects after a tip-off by a foreign government that he was a supporter of radical Islam? http://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/2011-request-for-information-on-tamerlan-tsarnaev-from-foreign-government

    There are 1.6bn Muslims in the world, of which up to 90% are Sunni. They can't all be Arabs.

    Russians or Chechens? Serious question.

    Yes, a VIDEO video. Shot from the ground, showing the U-2 flying really close to the ground with a quite a high bank angle, and with a couple of Mirage 2000s 'escorting it'. I assume, of course, that there have not been two such incidents like this... Huggy, I have never met him. Agree that he's got a great reputation for his U-2 writing.

    RF Yes, I don't doubt that's true. I was reading that quote, plus the fact that the Air Force's own civilian leader appears to have an ill-formed view, plus the completely retarded questions asked of the CIA by another senator about the White House's armed drones, and then tarnishing them all with the same brush. It's exactly the same over here. A helicopter recently crashed in London. An MP went on the news and said that she thought that private helicopters flying in London was dangerous (despite this being the first ever fatality in 40+ years), and that this was particularly the case when they hovered over the Houses of Parliament. The only helos allowed to do that are police ones. She is, clearly, a cretin. So, yes, it is clear that politicians the world over are the same in that they say what they think their constituents want to hear.

    Wow. The most powerful country in the world really is run by a bunch of retards: Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo. said that Franklin's decision sets the Air Force "all the way back to Tailhook."

    A bit of an aside, but having read the FOIA documents... I appreciate that it may not be something peculiar to OSI, but I was really interested to see that the accuser is constantly referred to as the VICTIM (their caps) in pre-trial documents, while the accused is referred to by his surname. I'd be interested in knowing how the connotations of both naming approaches can possibly not influence the investigating officers, especially in a case that extends over a lengthy period.

    Will Lt Col. Wilkerson be able to return to work? Or has this fucked him over irrevocably?
  22. Steve Davies
    There's a video somewhere online of the Mirages flying around with the U-2. Pretty dramatic. Will try and find it...
  23. Steve Davies
    Definitely write a book. But don't talk about the ACES II being a Martin Baker seat - it's a Goodrich seat.
  24. Steve Davies
    He'll never make it. Far too verbose.

    I hear he's taken a job in PA.
