I did my time there buddy boy. I watched from Torrejon as the F-4s flew off on their way back to the states after the F16s replaced them. Yep, and then the crashes began. The class A mishap rate for the F16 is almost double that of the F15. Maybe the F15 pilots are just better? Or could it be the F16 is a lawn dart? I'd be willing to bet money that the 35 will crash at an even higher rate than the 16. Want to bet?
It has the worst crash rate of any US Air Force fighter. The worst. The only aircraft that compares is the F105 which also was a one engine fighter. These aren't my figures, they're the statistics from the USAF and I figure they might know.
Hundreds of F16s have crashed, it crashes at a higher rate than any other USAF bird. Hell it crashes at a comparable rate to the Navy's F-18 which operates in a much more hazardous environment. 5 F-16s hit the ground in July killing 3 airmen. At least one of those attributable to engine problems. It's crazy to have an aircraft that costs as much as these complicated weapon systems flying around waiting for a flameout to pancake them somewhere. F-15s lose engines too, but they just go back home and get fixed so they can fly again. As for how the 16 handles after losing an engine, think again. It loses hydraulics too and generally is a bitch to fly without power. All too often the pilot dies with the jet. Sure it's a bad ass little fighter until it breaks which it does way too often. It has earned the title lawn dart.
When that engine dies it's got the glide path of a toolbox. They littered the landscape with them. Yeah, it could deliver a punch but survivability is important too.
It's not my opinion only. Look at the safety record. A warbird with one engine is a bad thing. Redundancy is everything in the air. When you lose an engine in an F-15 you return to base. In an F-16 you reach for the ejection handle. Even you should be able to see that.
I think you mean the f-104. They were notorious for killing pilots. German pilots in particular had unkind things to say about them. The F-14 was the Navy's swing wing fighter.
Brand new already obsolete overpriced single engine fighter to scatter sheet metal over the landscape. I just don't understand why in hell they had to have a single engine fighter. The F-16 showed how bad that works like the F-105 before it. They may have it operational but it'll be another 10 years before they'll have most of the bugs out of it. They'd better start laying down plans for a new fighter now so they can have that ready to go in 20 years or so.
I don't really give a crap about emojis but it seems so asinine for them to waste thought and effort on something so totally meaningless. They're obsessed with triviality instead of actually doing something to improve their product.
Usually upgrades provide bug fixes and nice new features and performance improvements. Once a project like uTorrent goes off the rails it's time to move on to an alternative.
The government fears it's citizens far more than any foreign entity. It has reason to considering how it has systematically worked to rob them for decades. They know that one day, when the country finally fails under the staggering debt there will be a price to pay for whoever is holding the reins at that time.
Just use a little logic would you. If you tax corporations on money they keep here but let them keep it overseas then what the hell do you think they will do? If you fix it so US corporations have to pay no matter where the money is but foreign corporations can get away with it then what the hell do you think will happen. Finally, if you fix it so all money made here is taxed here what will happen? Think about it.
The reason they funnel it into Ireland is because of the US tax rate. Why else would they do it? If taxes were the same here they would obviously have no need to funnel it to Ireland.
Apple is 5th. That's computers only, no mobile devices. I can't find q3 results for samsung but they were around 7 billion in q2. I'd have to say Samsung is about apple's only real competition. I liked their phones until recently. I own an S5 now although when my wife needed a new phone she decided on an LG. She was going to get another note to replace her note 3 but didn't like the changes.

The F-105 was a fighter. It was designated one by the US Air Force. Read up on that. Read up on their misearable safety records while you're at it.

The F-35 is a failure already. That wont stop them from buying them though.

Andy Griffith show in 8K. That should be interesting.

So grateful to not be hip. It seems hip is synonymous with stupid.

I like Deluge on Windows and Mac but Transmission on my Linux box.
Why would you develop for a windows phone when you know MS reputation for fucking people?
Their destruction of Nokia accomplished it's purpose. Maemo had so much promise that was never realized.
They're done with the carcass of Nokia and now they're disposing of it.
CEO salaries sure as shit are.
I think the way it works is you have to buy a new one.
I just hope she gets a chance to be in the debates. I'd love to see Johnson, Trump, Stein and Hilliary at each other's throats. Awesome.
