Quote of the day


From SNAFU Solomon, talking about the latest bad news concerning the F-35's problems:

I won't say he lied, but I do think he twisted the facts so hard that it would take a battalion of chiropractors to straighten things out.

  1. I read the link. Then I read the report (very long) imbedded in the link. Since all of the F-35's systems are integrated, it is a wonder that the damn thing flies at all. I'll take a 737 Max any day over the F-35.

  2. Tip of the iceberg... And only going to get worse. Look at maintenance costs/flight hour! Horrendous!

  3. I thought Col. Boyd put an end to this kind of thinking several decades ago.
    OODA anyone?

  4. The perfumed princes at the Pentagon never learn... A platinum-plated turd is still a turd....

  5. One farmer to another about the new neighbor: I wouldn't call him a liar, but when he wants his cows to come in from pasture, he's got to get someone else to call them. From an old "Burt and I" recording.
