    Probably repaired with Fake Military Parts from Chinese.

    Your friend probably doesn't give a rat's ass about this incident because he's not going to live there. So he will get his permit refused and will complain that it's the fault of this F-18, when it's his own greed that is at stakes.

    You're obviously biased by our own government propaganda. AC is right, our army is based on quantity and not quality.

    Anyone have an idea why this happened? Pilot error? Mechanical failure?

    It was your typical White Hispanic aircraft hunting down and murdering an unarmed black household. They never brought this plane to jail to be interrogated, and the photos I've seen of F-18's flying around showed no damage. Who cares that it was a crack house, the poor thing looks just like Obama's house would, if he had one.

    We need to put a dead-or-alive bounty on this aircraft, and tweet out an unrelated aircraft's address.

    The United States should declare war on itself and win hearts and minds by providing jobs and building infrastructure.
