    Who is dumber?

    There were two stories in the news this week that made me ask "who is dumber?" The first involved the troubled young Canadian who led a two ship of F-16's across the country. Not very bright when you consider the potential of being turned into a flaming pile of scrap metal. The second...

    Thunderbirds

    I just got back from the Thunderbirds 2009 Season opening show. It is always great watching them and this was no exception.

    Chinese Threat

    I have tried before to point out the dangers of the Chinese. It seem they flexed their muscle recently. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/03/09/pentagon-chinese-ships-harassed-unarmed-navy-craft-international-waters/

    The F-15

    I just finished watching a documentary about the F-15 Eagle. It is hard to believe this Aircraft is 34 years old. The Eagle has shot down over 100 opposing aircraft and has never been shotdown.

    General Takes Swipe at McCain

    Let me begin by saying I don't have a dog in this fight. (Couldn't care which one is the next President becuase I believe they will both be bad for America). That said having had the less then enjoyable experience of serving during Gen Clarks Tenure in Europe I found him to be a horrible...
