  1. on way to market (this little piggy...)
  2. are pop-ups allowed then?
  3. instead of crispy bacon????
  4. exiting Dodge City, pronto!
  5. Quite frankly, with the levels of "countermeasures" the ruzzians have been using, I'm surprised to NOT seeing CD's hanging over the rear-view mirror on a string. AKA "90's anti police radar technology".
  6. on a public road (also attempting to avoid the obvious trap...)
  7. Yup. "Dumb" ways of doing things are back in fashion. Map & compass skills are being used on that battlefield due to reliability of gps.
  8. Please, call me "Bob".
  9. The traditional AWACS with a large rotating disc, is seemingly outdated, however saying they are vulnerable really depends on how it is used. Sitting on the ground is very dangerous, as it seems, for any country nowadays. As for replacing with space-based assets... it really sounds like when the airborne photo-recon aircraft were declared unneccesary because space-based would do the job ... SR71 goes away and the need for airborne assets is re-discovered (oops) so keep those U-2's flying! Smaller systems on biz-jets appear to be doing sterling work, especially flying along border regions of Ukraine and the Gulfstream-based systems have worked well.
  10. nose pencils? Saying "Wibble"?
  11. But is that sort of like in "dog years" ?
  12. It could have been worse... The L85 was heavier than the SLR it replaced...
  13. made in the microwave (to annoy all "proper" chefs!)
  14. What is annoying, is when media outlets regurgitate that "only B-2's" can carry this bomb... B-52's can carry them, as well as C-130 with parachute retarded deployment.
  15. Well, I wasn't expecting that answer. "On a shelf" was 100% odds-on at the hairystick bookies...
