<0> I am so happy to hear that
<1> Lupine yes
<1> Lupine I'm so excited, it's a phone interview next Friday
<0> phone interwiew, wow thats nice
<1> Janet it's the only program I applied to and it's #4 in the country
<2> What a beautiful aircraft
<1> yeah I was figuring I'd have to fly out for it
<3> my wife is looking into a nursing degree. She manages disability claims, but the pay is so much more with a nursing degree
<0> aww is this the one out of state?
<4> i think my dad was at grumman at the time? somewhere on long island, he worked on the fire control system for the revision d
<1> yes at the one out of state
<1> Lupine ah
<0> Lupine.. my daughter just got accepted to the nursing progam she starts in the fall
<3> b1ff: when carter axed the budget for the improved radar/missile systems.. he quit.
<0> well, thats even more impressive, that they are calling you! congratulations
<3> janet: she's interested in an accelerated program, as she doesn't want to "practice" if you know what I mean
<0> Lupine.. oh.. I did not know they had an accelerated progam for RN
<1> Lupine understandable
<1> Janet yeah they have all kinds of things
<3> janet: she's looking into it
<1> my program is a doctorate designed for non-nurses
<2> IM downloading the F14 and F18
<4> Lupine id did get a new radar in the 80s
<1> encomp***es your licensing etc it's a 4 year program
<3> freetrade: check out this one: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1611312379852316542&pl=true&auto=true french F1 mirage pilots in Chad.. seriously insane low-level flying
<4> my dad worked on the b1 also
<1> they also have programs that are like 18 months to a BSN etc
<0> well, I am just happy my daughter got in... on her first try... it takes so long usually to get in the progam here
<2> Can I use a Mac to watch videos I've purchased?
<2> No. If you have a Mac, you can't watch purchased, copy-protected videos. At this time, you can only watch videos that aren't copy-protected.
<2> We look forward to offering more options in the future.
<2> hehehehe
<3> b1ff: yea, after reagan re-approved it.. but the whole super tomcat concept never really came to be
<4> tomcat was such a great platform too
<2> IM sorry thats cold ;)
<0> and I am glad she got all her pre reqs out of the way
<2> TomCat is the best all around military aircraft the USA has had.
<1> yeah all my pre-reqs are done and even some of their curriculum is done I can apply to transfer credit if I get in
<3> b1ff: as a result, the F14 stayed a "one trick pony".. unlike the F-15/16 and 18.. which became multi role planes
<2> Jet
<3> FT: naw, not all around. It was very good for what it did, but it was only CAP
<2> Lupine for its time it was a bomber, a fighter, it had a lot of qualities which made it all purpsoe
<3> F-16 is the best "all around" currently..
<2> F15 and f16s for example have very specific purposes by comparison
<3> FT: naw, not the F-14.. it was supposed to be, but carter axed all that
<2> the F22 is an allaround killer machine
<3> ah, dude.. you got it backwards
<2> Bomber, Fighter, but kills most targets before they even know its in the air
<3> F-14 is pretty much strictly air superiority.. the F15 and F16's do very well multi role.. CAP, ground attack, ground support
<3> F-14 very fast, long range anti-plane fleet defence, but not much else
<2> I built the F14 aklong with aall the bombays and missiles and so on ;)
<2> well a model
<4> our 2 top ground support aircraft: warthog and ac-130
<2> AC 130 is the most awesome close combat machine
<0> sorry phone...
<0> Rebec, thats even better!! you can graduate early
<2> Warthog is better in offensive raids for close air support
<2> Defensive positions AC 130 rules
<3> yea, AC130 requires absolute air superiority, and virtually no ground threat
<2> Like it would of ruled in Mogadishu but Clinton or his sec of defense said they couldnt use it
<4> disagree. you need air superiority
<4> yerah
<1> Janet one can hope lol
<4> Lupine is 100%
<0> :)
<5> LIBERTY, Mo. (AP) - A youth minister was charged with ***ault for allegedly knocking a 16-year-old boy down and kicking him in the groin after taking a head shot from the teen in a dodgeball game.
<2> Ac130 is designed for ground threats, its got automatic counter measures
<5> what a wimpy minister. You play dodgeball, you can get hit in teh head
<2> It is exactly designed for bullets and RPGs
<5> he should have "dodged"
<3> ac130 is simply too slow, ungainly if it comes under real ground fire
<4> yes as in concentrated ground fire
<4> its great for blowing up insurgent types
<2> They can put a 1 inch strip on US soldiers helmuts and from that the computers can identify threat vs friendly and fire 1000s of rounds of bullets without hitting friendlies
<3> or defensive
<0> isn't the point of dodge ball, to HIT someone
<4> ac-130 would have ****ed against the soviets
<5> JanetB, yeah
<5> it's how you score
<2> Ac130 is designed for close in tight battle or defensive or rescure missions.
<3> but, what many magazine-racers forget is.. all tools have a purpose.. and the key is to know the relevent strengths and weaknesses, and employ effectively
<0> thats what I thought
<2> To hold the enemy at bay
<5> sure, it's preferred not to hit the person in hte head
<3> FT: right, but you would never fly it over anywhere with AA, etc
<2> Helicopters and wart hogs are better for offensive movement
<2> Yeah you could fly it where there is RPG
<5> but ball-kicking is tough to claim as an accident, whereas, hitting in the head with a dodgeball is easy to say it was an accident
<2> In fact its designed with high capability of counter measures to missile attacks
<5> people are such wussies sometimes
<3> FT: yes/no. if it was a skilled operator, could easily manually fly the missile in
<2> The AC-130H Spectre gunship's primary missions are close air support, air interdiction and armed reconnaissance. Other missions include perimeter and point defense, escort, landing, drop and extraction zone support, forward air control, limited command and control, and combat search and rescue.
<2> See
<6> Abusive Domain or User
<2> Defensive perimeter and point defensive exactly what I said
<2> as opposed to offensive where the appaches and the warthog are excellent
<2> These heavily armed aircraft incorporate side-firing weapons integrated with sophisticated sensor, navigation and fire control systems to provide surgical firepower or area saturation during extended periods, at night and in adverse weather
<2> AC-130s suppressed enemy air defense systems and attacked ground forces during Operation Urgent Fury in Grenada. This enabled the successful ***ault of Point Salines airfield via airdrop and airland of friendly forces.
<3> you know, I noticed the othe rday: hte mainstream media isn't commenting on the dramatic reduction in US casualties
<3> Janet: Dirty Harry first?
<3> or magnum force..
<0> no legally blonde :D
<7> uh huh
<2> The AC-130U is the most complex aircraft weapon system in the world today. It has more than 609,000 lines of software code in its mission computers and avionics systems.
<1> janet lol
<2> This is a turboprop
<7> Janet is bringing out her pr0n collection
<0> I said girly!! movies :D
<4> they should build more
<3> Cry: um, for women.. dirty harry *IS* pr0n!
<7> as the nun exclaims to the Priest.....
<7> "wow, thats a nice Mitre!!
<2> A multi-mode strike radar provides extreme long-range target detection and identification. It is able to track 40mm and 105mm projectiles and return pinpoint impact locations to the crew for subsequent adjustment to the target. The fire control system offers a Dual Target Attack capability, whereby two targets up to one kilometer apart can be simultaneously engaged by two different sensors, using two different guns. No other air
<2> No other air-ground attack platform in the world offers this capability.
<4> hey FreeTrade arent you the guy always asking people to post a link
<4> hehe
<7> provided garbage is not put in..computers can be formidable
<2> The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has a requirement for a C-130 engine infrared (IR) signature suppression system to provide Special Operations Forces (SOF) C-130 aircraft with an IR signature reduction equal to or better than existing systems at a lower cost of ownership
<2> No I am the guy always sayign to post what the link says not the url
<2> I dont go to a url if I dont know it
<7> smart move luckypunk
<2> These are all the counter measures for the defense of the craft
<2> AN/AAR-44 infrared warning receiver
<2> AN/AAR-47 missile warning system
<2> AN/ALE-47 flare and chaff dispensing system
<2> AN/ALQ-172 Electronic Countermeasure System
<2> AN/ALQ-196 Jammer
<2> AN/ALR-69 radar warning receiver
<2> AN/APR-46A panoramic RF receiver
<2> QRC-84-02 infrared countermeasures system
<4> that is bitchen
<2> As I said, If you saw blackhawk down ? That was a prototype mission for a AC130
<2> 13 aircraft ***igned to 16th Special Operation Wing's 4th Special Operations Squadron.
<2> 1995
<2> The F-14 Tomcat is a supersonic, twin-engine, variable sweep wing, two-place fighter designed to attack and destroy enemy aircraft at night and in all weather conditions. The F-14 can track up to 24 targets simultaneously with its advanced weapons control system and attack six with Phoenix AIM-54A missiles while continuing to scan the airspace. Armament also includes a mix of other air intercept missiles, rockets and bombs.
<2> The Tomcat is a 2-seat, twin-engine fighter with twin tails and variable-geometry wings. Its general arrangement consists of a long nacelle containing
<2> THis is what I mean by all purpose
<2> this thing has multiple capabilities
<2> from a fighter to a bomber, to both, nightime engagement daytime
<4> y the tomcat did a/a and a/g
<4> the tomcat also had the vulcan cannon
<4> which was good for ground support
<2> The Grumman F-14, the world's premier air defense fighter, was designed to replace the F-4 Phantom II fighter (phased out in 1986). F-14s provided air cover for the joint strike on Libyan terrorist targets in 1986. The F-14A was introduced in the mid-1970s. The upgraded F-14A+ version, with new General Electric F-110 engines, now widespread throughout the fleet, is more than a match for enemy fighters in close-in, air combat.
<4> the vulcan is a tank killer
<2> My cousin flew in the F4
<3> yes/no. the ground support, ground support, etc were greatly reduced in capability
<3> used very little in desert storm, for example
<4> lupine did you know about the deadman switch developed for it
<2> The Tomcat has an internal 20-mm Vulcan Gatling-type gun fitted on the left side, and can carry Phoenix, Sparrow, and Sidewinder AAMs. Up to 6 Phoenix missiles can be carried on 4 fuselage stations between the engines and on 2 pylons fitted on the fixed portion of the wing; 2 Sidewinder AAM can be carried on the wing pylons above the Phoenix mount. Although the F-14 was tested with conventional "iron" bombs on its external hardp
<3> one reason why my cousin jumped from teh F-14 to F/A-18
