I actually did NOTHING that you accuse me of. My father was a 28 year Navy man and I have NOTHING but respect for those who serve in our armed services (even the ones who make mistakes). You can check my posting history if you do not believe me.
YOU, on the other hand, are a raving, ranting horse’e ass, and I cirdially invite you to GFY.
“PS - The F18 still has cables. They are hydraulically assisted, but it still has cables. The F-16 does not. Hows that for advanced concepts, you arrogant jackass?”
WayneS,
Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner, I took a month off FR for Christmas/New Year’s.
1. Here’s an advanced concept: Hydraulically assisted cables can’t usually be budged without... hydraulic assistance.
2. We both have Navy fathers. Good for us. My subject, however, is not them, but you.
3. As far as I can see, you did everything I said you did. Even more, I’ve found that people with your kind of (ranting, raving) foul mouth usually use it to cover up getting nailed and to try to divert attention away from the subject matter. So in response, let me reiterate - I think what you posted was a low blow to the pilot specifically and all of Naval Aviation generally, posted in order to deliberately spin a time of crisis and tragedy towards the worst possible light, and I found it revolting. And I still do.
