Love the picture. Now if somebody has a link to the audio clip of the pilots briefing the passengers of their pistols they are packing it would be a perfect match. I've heard it on Rush and one other source.

So does that mean that we were nuts when X42 was in office?We don't have the right to cast stones at the Canadians after eight years of Clinton. Sure, you and I didn't vote for him, but a whole lot of other Americans did. We had to watch him and the Hildabeast for the longest eight years of my life, and the conservative Canadians are now suffering under Chretian. There's a lot of conservative Canadians and I'm sure you know that Freeper coteblanche has a Canadian sister site to FR.

If memory serves, the Sudanese Air Force inventory includes, but is not limited to: 8 MiG-21 Fishbed; 3 Mig-23 Flogger; 7 F-5E/F Tigers; 5 Shenyang F-6 Farmer; 10 Shenyang F-5 Fresco; 12 Chengdu F7B. They have a pair of Spanish made Aviocar C-212 recon craft. They have three C-130H. Further, they have 8 Pumas; 6 Mi-8 Hind; 4 Mi-4; 2 Mi-24 Hind helicopters; and a brace of Alouettes.
For the most part, their Air Force is in pretty bad shape. I don't know how many of their weapons are airworthy, but I wouldn't put them on the same technological level, as, say, Belize. ((Actually, your question intrigued me. I typed in "sudanese air force" in the dialogue box, and all this info popped up.))

I have the audio clip, but don't know how to link it. Someone sent it to me via E-mail.

I almost forgot. For cardinal4's reference, they also have a couple of Embraers.

Bill O'Reilly has be harping on this for some time. He is going to blow his top! I gotta watch. Did you see him last night when he found out that Canada's entire armed forces totaled around 55,000, about the same as the number of NYC police officers.
We bear the cost of protecting them and then their leaders stab us in the back. What was that that the poet said about good fences make good neighbors?

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, disputed a published report that the FBI and CIA are searching for a Sudanese air force pilot who entered Canada with plans to fly a hijacked airliner into the White House. "There is no one at large who's going to fly a plane into the White House," this official said. Perhaps thats only true because the suspect is now in custody, therefore not at large?

Him and what freaking army?
We've seen their playbook, we've watched the films.
It won't work again. Any raghead even walking toward the cockpit door is going to find himself tackled and beaten to within an inch of his life.

Man, am I getting a feeling of deja-vu here.... Wasn't there something in the news a few weeks or month ago about Sudanese pilots? I did a search of posts and can't find anything.

Hillary isnt a nationally elected crook, Cretin and Clintoon is. I dont blame other nationals thinking we are a bunch of immoral sex crazed self only's. But our nation did the right thing and put the proper man in power and now its up to the citizens of Canada, Germany, France and other nations with libs running the show to step up to the plate and put the right guys in place. I cant honestly say Germany or France will however.
