RAIDER has not shown his face around here since March. I wonder if one of IFBX-Files' friends kidnapped him.

PTL, God used me to lead two souls to Christ yesterday, a 16 year old teen and a 65 year old man.
Do tell...
This hardly belongs in the "worthless" thread.
True. But I never get tired of hearing about lives redeemed for/in Christ.
Kamala Harris has identified as an indigenous/Afro/Asian/Hispanic/.....
Worthless...just worthless!

so.... . could an outdated .. and no longer in service - U.S. F-14 tomcat defeat a 5th generation
chinese J-20 ?...(their newest stealth fighter)... in a full scale wartime environment?...
.... ..years ago people like warmonger and defense industry mogul dick cheney would have
said no... but digitial combat similators operated by competent u.s. pilots indicate otherwise....
maybe they should have kept the F-14 around a little longer?....
this is a great video but a warning is in order.... the F-14 had a very irritating and highly
audible enemy contact alert system... ..and it can be heard all through this video.... it
takes come getting use to....

I worked on F-14s during the 1980s so, I am going to be biased towards them. I was familiar with their capabilities and their armament and other than improved stealth/detection avoidance, I am not aware of any specific ways new generation fighters are that much better than F-14s. The improvements would have to be in the weapons. The F-14's speed and maneuverability can't be exceeded given human limitations to g forces and the like.

at the same time as the F-22 raptor was being selected for the airforce... an upgraded f-14 tomcat
.... (ASF-14... which might have become the F-21 or F-24).... was being designed on the drawing board
that would have offered the same swing wing benefits and would also have stealth technology..... plus
the same super powerful multicapable engines in the F-22 raptor....
. .. it was cancelled by the washington admin of the time before it even got past the drafting table.... and today
nobody outside the pentagon knows what it actually would have looked like.... but there are many knowledgable
people who say the aircraft shown in these videos was probably pretty close to it....
its really a shame our leaders of the time didn;t have better forsight.. .. because the job the F-14 did for
the navy has never been equalled in the years since... ... even the much ballyhooed F-18 super hornet can;t
come close to what the old tomcat could do.... . just imagine what an upgraded stealth version of the F-14
tomcat could have done....

Route from 0620 to 0920. Incident on the bus (not at liberty to say more).
Training a new driver 0930 till 1145; he's doing excellent. He'll be ready for his CDL skills test next week.
Ran errands and went home for lunch from 1200-1300
Sad news, the main road between home and work was closed off because a kid on a motorcycle wrecked. Transported to hospital; DOA.
Back to work at 1315, trainee was assigned to sub for my aide who was absent. Great excuse for more training.
