Wrote a super-long reply and then deleted it. I've got a lot of strong feelings when someone even implies that pilots are overpaid. If anything, we're still underpaid. Gotta try not to say anything that could get me in trouble, though. But there are many good reasons why pilots are paid as much as ...

Jump to postCan someone explain the basics of the two kinds of approaches; when they are typically used; and why ATC’s direction to use one over the other for a delayed flight by an airline that flies into SFO every day caused such an expensive (airline) and inconvenient (crew and passengers) problem?

Jump to postNever gonna happen. The Navy is not going to crew a nuclear powered carrier with NAVY personnel to support a Marine airwing. They have MUCH better use of 3000 sailors than this.
Jump to postI think the DoD should tell the AF to shut the hell up and perform the mission, with an airframe perfectly designed for said mission. On the modern battlefield, missiles are used to defeat armor. Having to dwell the gun on a tank for too long could be detrimental. The loiter time, loadout and surviv...
Jump to postNo....perhaps on paper. If the Russian aircraft were so great, seems funny they are not advancing the cause in Ukraine. Back in the day everyone was cowering about the Russian Army.

Jump to post(from the US perspective) Blue Angels are good for quite a while with the F-18E/F. Thunderbirds are good for quite a while with the F-16. Both may find themselves in a dilemma when the F-18 and F-16 finally get retired, as they are the only two-seat options in the US fighter inventory. I don't see ...

Jump to postOk, still not clear about the engines...was any controlled flight possible after the strike? Or were both engines so badly damaged that this airplane was going to land?

Will we be confident with the results?
Well, conductors have to have more usable properties than just conducting electrons to be of practical use. Such as weight, ductility, etc. I heard that this LK-99 was a bust.
Jump to postWould that much force be transmitted to the wing box? Would it be a simple repair of the damaged area/LG? Or would the whole wing be removed from the fuselage and repaired on a jig?
