The aircraft recovered at Kelly AFB were FLANKER-Ds…

Things are getting interesting in Wichita Falls…

A Baja War Trophy: a North Korean Koksan 170-mm SP Gun found abandoned in Northern Sonora during the push to Hermosillo by 3rd AD, January, 2010: The Mexican artillery fire plan consisted of "yank the lanyard one time and get the f*** out of there before the counter battery mission hit." ...

Entirely possible.

Gotta say, that zampolit was half right: Kornnikov got to ask his questions, but the Soviets lost the war…

I missed a couple of words in my last reply, the article I was referring to is the Wikipedia article about the Hawker Siddeley Harrier.

Okay, first off, I was asking a question, secondly, it doesn’t look like a Sea Harrier FRS.1, and finally, while the image is in black and white, it looks like the plane is in Spanish Navy colors and markings (such as can be seen)… if you look up the Hawker Siddeley Harrier, the first image in the a...

Lori Sheppard has gained a reputation as being like old dynamite: when it blows up, brother, it blows up…

Are we sure that that’s not the Spanish version of the Harrier, the AV-8S Matador?

I was thinking of the two divisions trying to see who either close the pincers to encircle the enemy forces. Say a Klingon second lieutenant was separated from his unit and set upon by a Jem'Hadar platoon. He says, "This is a good day to day." At the end, he's barely standing, weapons out...

At least one Yankee class was converted to a special-ops boat... If Wikipedia is to be believed, it wasn’t K-228. Could there be a different reason why she came to the surface, maybe here crew received reports of what happen at home and here captain not wanting some die hard Soviet Crew members tak...

That's the way i should be. Some say the center of China is a black hole best avoided, i heard the RAF and USAF do high altitude flights over there, as getting reliable information from Central China is very hard. The truth of the matter is probably finger-breaking territory, and we all value unbro...

Race Bannon in The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, though I forget which episode…

Also Riker in ST:TNG Data's Day.

That’s where I first heard it! I’d forgotten about that!

Stomping on Stupid is pretty much their main shooting occupation these days…
